Doherty V O'Sullivan - 18/1/7

[austrian_girl]

I like Nadal, but if he wins some time soon he'll give me twice the joy...
On the whole the Australian Open coinciding with the Masters has been pretty inconvenient.

To be honest, the Rally Dakar is going on my nerves a bit more than the Australian Open. Anyway, I just had a look at the Eurosport homepage. They re-scheduled the start of snooker to 14.45 (which is exactly now btw ). IMHO, they can't do that with Ronnie matches. After 15 mins, the guy is 3-0 up, we'll get to see the last shots of frame four, then mid-session, and afterwards some more quickfire frames and everything is over.

edit: I just thought Nadal won the third set but it was indeed the other guy! Totally gutted over here!!!!!!

It is highly unlikely Es will stop showing a Nadal match to transmit snooker, even if it is Ronnie playing...
This snooker match isn't too fast, won't do me any good tho, I have to leave in 30 mins so catching a shot or two is no comfort!
At least those of us who can't watch it get great commentary, cheers!
