Ali Carter v Judd Trump

[CueInAction]

Neither player seeming completely settled as yet. Ali's played a couple of awful safties, colliding with other balls then dropping in safe, where he could have been leaving Judd in the balls

He needs a final, I guess, to keep his Top 16 status.

I think he'd need to win it, in fact.

If Trump keeps giving Carter Chances he will Lose but I think Trump is Far too strong of a "POTTER" to Lose a Long match like this and I would say Trump to Win 13-8 or 13-10 as Trump cant keep Playing this Bad for that many Sessions surely!.


Gaz.

Quite tentative start to the match. Trump somehow pulled his game back a bit and leveled back.

Well played Trump, Carter really needs to respond very soon, otherwise he could soon find himself struggling to get to 3 frames this session!

[P.Smith]

Judd on point now, he's gonna be difficult to stop!

[breakman16]

Great break from Ali, quite likely to win the frame from here, classy response!

[breakman16]

I wager not ONE other player would have refused that red Carter refused on the tour, WHAT are u doing man??? Roll it in or over the pocket!!

Strange choice of shot from Carter, not to play the pot on the last red while Trump still needs the snooker.

Exactly.

basic pro snooker play, if opponent needs snooker/s, and u have a sniff at a pot without any sort of realistic chance of going in off then u go for the pot!! This match could be very close if Carter can just hang in there!

[breakman16]

See previous post folks, WHY ALI??? lol

[breakman16]

Trump needs this last frame, he'll have a drop on stopping Carter if he's leading, serves him right for taking that stupid red on, he hit all 3 long reds way too hard anyway, even if he'd rolled those reds in, none of them were easy, perhaps he gets a buzz from hitting balls 100 miles per hour??

Captain surges ahead. Now the final frame of the session. Could have some importance.

been a great frame from carter, putting colours safe well as well!! very good hard pro snooker from carter!
