Wow how much screw did Ding get on that pack shot? It's a stinker of a chance for Ryan this though! He'll do very well to get to 50 here!!!

He's making a damn good fist of it though!!

Ryan looking like a pro when he's break building, but a good amateur when laying a snooker, he's been very poor in that department today!!

I just need Mark Davis to beat Carter and there's my fourfold with Gilbert Jones and Higginson,over a grand £,woohoo :-)

well done you. i have davis, jones, perry, hawkins, gilbert, cao, fu and liang.

Meanwhile this is a decent chance for Day!!

[breakman16]

Even if Ryan loses now, he's made a great effort at a comeback, big respect to him for those last 2 frames!!

Meanwhile Ding leads Day 7-6. Ding looks the stronger of the two, and can see him winning the match quite comfortably from here on in.

I expected that myself, but a good response from Day when he went 6-9 behind. This has turned into a very good match. I still think Ding looks very composed though.

[Odrl]

Except for that missed sitter of course.

Good morning guys! I'm at work and can't sift through 68 pages of this thread , can anyone please link me to the schedule of play with times if possible? I'd really appreciate it

Day's potting is second to none but he has absolutely zero safety skills. Cant lay a snooker in a decade and cant come out of one in a century. Still I have always liked him because he is surely dynamite when on form. Come on Day!!!

[Odrl]

Aaaarrrggghh, I absolutely hate leaving matches at 9-9, but it can't be helped this time...

This whole quarter has become very interesting. It looked like a nasty one, with Ding and Selby possibly meeting in the QF, and Mark Allen thrown in as well. But it now looks like it could well be someone like Stevens that goes through. Or one of the qualifiers of course, Day, Hawkins or Cao. Weird stuff.

[breakman16]

well played to both, good luck lads, enjoy folks!! COME ON DING!

that's at least for first round!

[breakman16]

well you live and die by decisions like Day's there, cant blame him for having it put back, however some players would have had a go there, and that's why, not guaranteed another chance, COME ON DING!!!

[brusque]

what a stupid shot by Day ... all he needed to do was to make sure of the red ... He blew it .. Cant see Ding missing this chance

[breakman16]

Obviously there's a lot of pressure, but he couldnt ask for a better chance, if he can't win the match from here then he doesnt deserve to I think!
