np, at least we have live snooker all week.
how did cope play? looking at the scores, he still needed a couple of chances in each frame to convert. he lost all his GP matches. is he coming back to form? maybe his 3rd final's coming up.

I didn't see the Cope match. Eurosport was only showing the Swail match, which he eventually won. I know Cope won his match 5-2 though.

Hm, I don't get any commentary from Eurosport link at all, just usual arena sounds and referee and all that...
Anyway, I'm not sure if Eurosport UK is streaming anything online, and if they do it'll probably be locked for UK users only.
All that I can gather from their online shedule is that they're planning to show everything from 14.30 GMT and till the end of match days without interruptions, unlike the TV channel that is showing not only snooker, but other programs during this timeframe too.
I don't know if there'll be commentary on Eurosport stream.

I think you only get commentary on UK stream.

Oh no, Gunnell is leading Fu by 3 frames to 1.

i thought they both played very well, 2 each would've been a fairer result.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Gunnell didn't really deserve that second frame. Let's hope Marco can pull some of his magic. Didn't he pull off a break of 105 or something? It looks like he's on form but he's making the same petty mistakes as he always does. He needs to improve his safety game and stop being an attacking player all the time.

Anyone know what happened with frame 6? I minimized for a split second, and when I bring it back up the ref was respotting balls and starting the frame over (frame 6), What happened ?? (This is Fu vs. Gunnel btw)

Nothing substantial. They were just tip tapping and so they both wanted to rerack the balls.

Alright. Now i'm upset. Gunnell didn't derserve to win after that fluke. F!

I hope Ebdon whitewashes him.

[gensdon]

right, nothing could split the two but a huge fluke. good match though despite lasting 3 and half hours.

What a match for Adrian Gunnell! A 5-3 win over Marco Fu, an extremely tense atmosphere towards the end, and a bit of luck aided Gunnell it has to be said, but an intruiging encounter.

I know! But I don't think Fu should have risked that double on the blue considering he needed snookers to win that frame.

Gunnell is not a fast player, I imagine Ebdon vs. Gunnell taking a very long time...

Could be but you are from Hong Kong

I really enjoyed that match, high quality stuff, a century from both players and good safety too. I feel a bit sorry for Fu, but am pleased for Gunnell as he is very good player and I like his style of play. An interesting start to the tournement.

Shh . But I stand by my comment that the fluke Gunnell made was a huge impact on the match and at such a crucial time. Don't even try deny to it.
