Shanghai Masters 2010 - Round 1-QF discussions!

[hitandhope]

hows martin gould doing?

Lost second round to Selby 5-4.


Mark King is priceless 'the table fitter is sacked!'

Just because you can't escape a perfect snooker, doesn't mean you have to blame someone else

[beechy1212]

It's great that Eurosport are the only channel to cover most events but the sound quality is a disgrace. How can a major channel in this day and age, be so poor in terms of sound?

[The Boss]

King should have won that match. When are the Gods going to cut him some slack?

A good start to the season nevertheless

[Mr P]

Mark Selby one more step closer to a major title. I feel it's his to lose now. Really pushing his luck though, 5-1 doesn't relect the actual pattern of that game to be fair.

[hegeland]

Well that was quite a close match! Great pot by Ali to take him through!

[Mr P]

What a game that was, just caught the end of it!

Ali vs Mark and Copey vs Burnett.

Mark has to be fave in my opinion, wouldn't be suprised if Ali pulled off a shock though.

Shot of the tournament by Carter to complete that comeback. It's always exciting when matches go down to the final black.

[rivercard]

What a miss from Stevens.. I thought Carter played too passively in the decider by refusing to split the reds when he had the chances to do it, but it doesn't matter now, he's through.

[Mr P]

No doubt that Matthew will be hurting inside, I'm sure he can bounce back though.

I stopped watching when Stevens extended his lead to three frames with 4-1, and learned later that Carter made the comeback..
I don't know how many more years do I need in order to finally understand that a game never ends until the match ball is sent in

[very.tee]

Ali won from 4-1 down? Yey! I'm not used to Ali's comebacks so that's nice to see

And finally I get to see Ali vs Mark! and hopefully one of them will go on to win the tournament :snooker:

I was shocked but very pleased for Ali (despite Matthew being on our fantasy team)

It's incredible how many times Matthew has lost matches needing only one frame in the past few years It's such a shame with his talent

[missneworleans]

Oh my god another comeback from 41 down and black ball decider...man so sick for Matthew but great fight Ali!

[missneworleans]

I saw the black Matthew missed in the decider...one word..HOW???

[montoya10]

Well, I'm sorry for Matthew, as well.
My only consolation is that he picked up some valuable ranking points and hopefully got some confidence for the rest of the season..
