doesn't look too good for Davis, does it? 3 frames lost in a row

agree, tkt. one thing why Dott might be considered as underdog is that he himself said he has hardly had any practice this summer. but he still might trouble Ding.

Wow, that was an unexpected turn of events over at table 1 I didn't catch that Harold was on for a max, but he must've woken up good.

Harold v Davis 3-1
Higgins v Selbs 2-1

Why is Dott dog against Ding? I think Dott can win this one! Anybody know if these two have ever faced each other? Surely Dott can trouble Ding. This might be even 9 frames...

They have met twice in the space of a week. Ding won both matches 3-0 and 4-2 in the Grand Prix and Premier League.

Davis will be on a plane back to uk tonight.. Getting hammered on that cheap plane red wine. I bet he can't wait.

How many frames are needed in the final and the semis?

never rule out the nugget

I was SO looking forward to watching Higgins-Selby this morning. And instead I'm watching Harold lead by 2 frames

[April madness]

they weren't even scheduled for a tv table, Vee. that's the worst thing

[austrian_girl]

I thoroughly second that. WHAT THE HELL???

They announced about three times during the afternoon session yesterday that the feature match in the morning would be Higgins - Selby... and it should be... I mean come on, that's a repeat of the world final!!!!! I don't know which idiot put Harold and Davis on table 1 but his humour surely leaves a lot to be desired... *feels better after this rant*

I KNOW!

I just remember yesterday, the German commentator said he was SURE they'd be showing Higgo-Zelbz... He said he couldn't imagine any other match being shown.

So you DO agree that Bingham and Pettman have earned that other TV table by their performances in this tournament? I don't think they are wrong by showing Davis vs Harold. I think they are wrong for putting Higgins and Selbs on non TV table and thus not showing that match.

Dave Harold is playing delightful snooker. Havent seen him in this kind of form for a long time. He will be a match for anyone in this tournament if he keeps up this standard.

[austrian_girl]

Do you think they'll show the final on Sunday or will it be played on Table 4?

Well, even if they had played on Table 2, where could I watch Table 2 anyway? Shanghai Sports are also showing Davis Harold!
