Grand Prix 2009 - 2nd Round Discussions!

Mark J just exploded the match HB ... did he get a 42?

[johnno147]

some vintage hendry needed for a comeback

[Monique]

Sorry ... it was a 47!!! Hurray!

[Odrl]

Oh yes, they were both pretty embarassed. And Ronnie had the mother of colds and was unrolling miles of kichen paper to wipe his nose when seated with an overflowing bin next to him! But next day was another day ...

No reason why tomorrow can't be "another day" as well. I mean... Williams played well against Bingham, and Hendry wasn't bad against Selt. They must be capable of that sort of form for the rest of the week surely.

[johnno147]

great shot from stephen terribly unlucky with the bounce!

[johnno147]

what a blue!!

[cebs]

What a steal !

Wicked pot on the blue after the bad bounce on the cushion.

[Odrl]

That's better.

If Williams was playing well, 4-2 would be a big lead. But the way this match has gone, still a chance for Hendry. Needs to score well now.

[johnno147]

well stephen has gone out all attack to win, gotta love that.

[spike]

C'mon on now Stephen..

[johnno147]

good win for mark unfortunately not the match we had all hoped for but winning is all that counts!

as for stephen he needs to get that consistency if he wishes to become hendry the eighth this year.

[Looki]

Scrappiest match I've ever seen, I suppose.. Well, I'm glad that Mark is through but I hope he goes to the practice table immediately. And avoids Higgins in the next round...

[spike]

I'm pleased for Williams but disappointed for Hendry.

[Odrl]

Yeah, it wasn't a classic match, but Williams is through, and I'm sure he'll be in a better mood tomorrow. There are no easy opponents left, but I bet everyone will want to avoid Higgins now.

If Mark wants to win the title, he should be praying to draw John this round rather than final

If he just wants to win more matches for ranking points, fine then, bring on somebody else
