Mark King vs Jamie Cope

[cue1]

Finally!!! What a lovely break from Mark :snooker:

[very.tee]

Yeah, I have no clue why they did it that way... It's so unfair!

Not by the looks of it... It's obviously one of those days when you can't pot a single ball

Lol I'm glad I managed to change it in time

Yeah I know, but that was a lovely break from Mark there Keep going Mark!!! It's not over yet!!! :snooker:

Yeah! I'd've cracked it in the end!

He's playing horrible safeties though

Can't see him coming back if he falls 1-5 back

Told you, you know me too well

Ohhhh I'm not watching anymore as the pc has been taken over

Live score says it's looking like 5-1 I guess it's not completely over but it'll be a huge challenge

Come on Kingy!!! :snooker:

Uh huh I do indeed

[The Boss]

King needs to win the last 5 frames. It's been done before, very recently

It is actually 5-1 after a few good attempts & two 4 point penalties but it wasn't enough

I think he was under a lot of pressure as opposed to his first match cos maybe he feels he is/was expected to win this one!

PS: Enough already

Good win for Cope, though King was fairly out of sorts.

Why no interview at the end? One of the better additions are (were?) the post match interviews (unlike the "music" and the "lightshow" between frames) and now nothing? I think Jamie Cope speaks English quite well, or at least better than Ding..

[Rivers]

So its over and Cope to the Semi-final; I can`t see Cope past Ding, but we`ve had plenty of stuff already.
But from the other hand today we had 4(?) centuries, right? There were 6 in all 8 Round 1 matches, so in that area a progress, but it was mostly Ding`s contribution, but a ncie one from Mark aswell, but somehow nothing else came out;


Lets see what happens with Robertson tomorrow, Allen shouldn`t gice him an easy time, right?

[PatBlock]

6 - 1 in the end.

Mark never really got going, but Cope did what was required.

So, what am I going to do for the next couple of hours now?
Ah well, there's Ebdon to look forward to tomorow night, he's always good value for money.

Im pretty certain that ebdon won his last match by boring ali carter to death, ebdons non stop table walking and hesitancy broke carters momentum and induced the famous carter frustration.

The King, Cope match...well it has to be said that King looked a completely different player in this match compared to how he played against selby; perhaps the flu that he has had something to do with it.

[Odrl]

Well done to Cope. He couldn't really have lost these two matches, considering how his opponents played. But it's going to be a different story against Ding, Cope needs to raise his game quite a bit to have any chance.

[missneworleans]

Cope is solid he will give Ding a battle thats for sure...and he already beat Ding at least two times

Awww, so 6-1 in the end I see

And there was us wanting a close match!

Yeah... well he did give it his best shot, just put a bit too much into it maybe

Congrats to Jamie though, he could use the confidence boost
