Mark Selby vs Mark King

[Elaine]

really looking forward to the match
it doesn't really matter that Selby can't win rankers (for whatever reason) he's always up for this one I expect him to go far again

I posted a first round preview on my site yesterday. I just can't see Selby winning two years in a row, the players seem to have kicked it up another gear this season with all the extra events. Tipping Higgins or Williams myself, possible Robertson or O'Sullivan also.

I hope King winns,but Selby is a favorite...

[ore]

Selby has put unnecessary pressure on himself by saying he is "targeting" a third title. King has been unlucky this season, drawing Ronnie and Ryan Day (really a top 16 player) in first round of ranking tournaments. King will edge it 6-4

Can't believe you saying King is not a real top 16 player!

As I have already Predicted in Other Thread SELBY will Win.

Great Opening Break by Selby.

[Odrl]

Yes, good start, even though King is still playing on for snookers.

On another note, Selby's hairstyle seems to have gone further downhill. Whereas King is still quite consistent in that department.

[Mr P]

Reds in an awful position in this frame, think Selby may get another chance.

[Odrl]

Great clearance for 2-0.

[João]

Nice wig, Selby.

[Mr P]

Quite like Selbys new hair.

[Odrl]

A superb 139 from King. Great match so far, and an important frame coming up.

[Mr Snooker]

2-1 Mark Selby, Mark King 139 break in Frame 3 his 4 centuary of the season and 64th of his career

head to head Career meetings

Mark Selby 5 wins Mark King 3 Wins

[sigsky]

Anyone have the frame score from frame 1?

[spike]

King takes the frame and it's 2-2, with Mark King showing all of his old (fighting spirit) to claw his way back into the match..

[Looki]

Selby's positional play hasn't been the best so far. It could make a difference in the end if he can't improve... Great 139 from King, btw.
