Grand Prix 2009 - Quarter- Final Discussion!

[Odrl]

As expected, almost full for the Higgins match, and almost completely empty for Robertson-Perry.

higgins match on interactive if you can't get it on bbc2

[johnno147]

well if higgins carries on like this that large crowd might soon be travelling the 2 miles home.

[Forman]

haha brilliant, ken taking the **** out of dennis and Willie for using the term "great single ball potter", every time i hear anyone say that i cringe

[spike]

Higgins carrying on where he left off from when he beat O' Sullivan. Already worrying times for Allen i feel..

John Higgins v. Mark Allen

Match of the round IMO. I think if Allen plays the way he finished their semi (i.e. winning about 12 of last 16 frames, then it'll be interesting and he can beat Higgins.

Neil Robertson v. Joe Perry
Robertson should win this on based on how they have played so far and pressure doesn't get to Neil

Ding Junhui v. Peter Ebdon

I'm looking forward to this one as well - Peter has played well and it reminds me of the tournament he won earlier this year when he slipped out of provisional top 16 and upped his game when he needed to. He's always been good under pressure, and although he has lost to Ding before, he has also beat him in UK. Ding has been playing better over last six months, but I'll go for Peter here.

Mark Williams v. Robert Milkins

Williams clear favourite despite how he played in last match and although Milkins has done well and I like his style and play, I think his run will end here in a convincing (5-2) win for Mark J.

[johnno147]

not sure if allen should of conceeded there - i reckon it would have been a good tactic to get some table time get the feel and the speed of the table and also slow higgins unreal standard and rhythm down.

[johnno147]

allen pulling out unreal pots to keep the break going - playing as if he is 2-0 up.

this is why he is such a great prospect for the future.

[spike]

Higgins showing NO mercy...Allen desperately needs to win the next frame to have any chance of getting back into the match let alone win it..

[Odrl]

Great stuff from Higgins. This is the kind of game that wins titles, and there's no other top8 players left. Still a couple of dangerous opponents though, but Higgins is looking good.

[montoya10]

Allen in danger.. Rest of the players are, too

[noel]

John Higgins. Headmaster.

"Mr. Allen go sit in your chair and pay attention.
That's a good Laddie."

Higgins is starting to miss a few. Although I think he'd find it easier to concentrate if it was 2-2.
