UK Champ. - 2nd Round Discussions

It's the ability to produce under pressure that separates a top 16 player from a top 64 player.

Higginson is under no pressure whatsoever atm, hence he's playing like in practice almost. It's fun to watch though.

Andrew Higginson is World No. 25 at the moment.. Not that I would like to argue about how it reflects his true position on the tour, but it's what it's, in the end.

andrew missed a big chance to close the gap

the frame was for the taking

now it should be 8:4 for robbo

meanwhile higgins having trouble

[hegeland]

I know that. Still I firmly believe the biggest difference between a top player and the rest is the ability to produce under pressure.

[Mr P]

Selby pulls one back.....6-4.

[Masterdoctorgenius]

what alucky snooker from neil

a cruel games sometimes

[montoya10]

I agree with you. I just think Higginson could have performed better, when the pressure was still on, in early frames.

Ding pulls another frame back

[Masterdoctorgenius]

very lucky frame to win for neil

i really feel for andrew

[hegeland]

Oh, absolutely agree with you on that one. Though not easy when your opponent is in the zone, barely missing a shot all evening...

[Mr P]

Hopefully Selby can pull back another frame now!

argh just come in to find out...

Ding fighting back against Mark Allen, Mark Selby behind and Mark Williams is 5-3 down to Hendry and playing badly

It's good to see Andrew fighting back though, as well as Dott ahead

[montoya10]

He could have used his chances after the interval, but then again, he was so demoralized to play after the first four frames and just could not take up any of those.. No one can blame him to lose his motivation, though. Robertson was too good at the beginning.

That sums it up.. 'Mark's are in real trouble. Not that I care about two of them, but when your favourite player is a 'Mark', you've got to feel sorry for any kind of pattern..

Maguire within two frames of the victory

btw, have live score frozen or is it just me? It only says 8-4 to Neil on here???

[montoya10]

Perhaps because the game is in MSI

It's working, but a bit slow..
