It's still early but I'm not liking what I'm seeing from Maguire.

[Masterdoctorgenius]

what a story that would be

ali fighting all the season with illness, losing most of the times in the first round, dropping out of the top 16

but at the most important venue he reaches the final despite showing poor form

[Masterdoctorgenius]

wow

what a frame

this will hurt ali all day

unlucky, very unlcuyk

[Masterdoctorgenius]

drama baby drama

[Masterdoctorgenius]

could have hurt him

[doorag]

He's not showing poor form at all. He has been a lot better than what he has played throughout the season.

No steal, then. 8-5. Pity for Maguire. That snooker on yellow had deserved the frame.

[coomsey76]

A sigh of relief from Ali there......

Great opening red from Carter!!

[daffie]

Mags needs to win at least 2 out of the remaining 3 now, at least I'm hoping he will...will make for a good startingpoint to the 3rd session this evening.

Btw anyone who prefers the shorter-frame matches should really have their head examined...THIS is the way snooker needs to be...eb&flow, players catching up to each other, then getting on a run of a couple frames, then something might happen and the other player catches up again...fandabidozitastic!

*me getting excited now*

That snooker on yellow had deserved the frame.

Well, it deserved what it got, an excellent chance to steal the frame. But he wasted another one, the second in the match, and it could cost him in the end. One of the best frames of the tournament I think, tremendous.

So, the nightmare final is looking more and more possible...

It's me. For today, at least. I've got work to do, so, I want the session to end as quickly as possible so that I can get back to my homework!
