Right, time for Robertson-Doherty.

I think Robertson might prevail tonight. He's the kind of character who gets himself up for matches like this, having lost to Doherty in Shanghai. Judging by his interviews, he likes to think about the various tactics in which to approach matches, and is aware of the important points of matches or sessions. Also, he likes to play at night, so I expect him to get better as the evening unfolds.

Players of Doherty's age tend to be a bit inconsistent from match to match, so hopefully for him, he will be on a good day. Also, he's experienced enough to punish Robertson's mistakes.

Should be a good match.

Robertson will certainly have to play better against Doherty than he did against Greene. Cracks started to appear in Greene's game in the 2nd half of that match which helped Robertson to get back in the match.
Doherty's vast experience could be a very important factor in this match..

A good 94 from Robertson, but he did leave Doherty in without a difficult ball on the table. Doherty must take those if he wants to win.

Yes Ken missed an easy red but it was the first frame so will forgive him for that..

[very.tee]

Oh dear, Ken's missing easy balls and Neil seems to be potting really well today

[spike]

Oh dear, Ken's missing easy balls

He sure is. Desperatly needs to string a few balls together and quick before Robbo runs away with this match..

I can`t see Ken coming back from 3-0 down.Hes making to many mistakes.

[Rane]

Ken´s in human hands.

He still has a chance but he MUST win this fourth frame..

[Odrl]

Doherty needs to make it 1-3 now. Massive frame.

Meanwhile, Robertson is putting his name in the hat of title contenders, in my opinion.

[Rane]

Well now! Ronnie and John are human after all [ Ronnie slightly more so on this day ]. Cope and Allen definitely are.

For me... John + Neil = Good Final.


=o)

Noel

I´ll vote for that final too.:snooker:

[spike]

Oh no Ken..
