UK Championship - Semifinals

[jim evans]

looks like rickys got is eye in should be a good match

Really, Judd had so many luckshots in this tournament. He does not deserve to be in the final.
He had luck in PTC final against Ronnie, and also in the UK Championship. And he yesterday was soo lucky. Though Neil played not well enough.

But now i would be suprised if Judd doesn' win the UK

I think that's a little unfair, luck is just another part of the game, everyone has it, both good and bad and it usually balances itself out in the end, Neil also had his fair share of good luck yesterday. I mean, how many of the 445 balls that Judd potted yesterday do you think were just down to good luck?

Neil had plenty of luck yesterday too. Did you see the tenth frame? Neil was very fortunate to win that frame.

You are right Pat, but to be honest Judd seems to be one of the luckiest players on tour. Of course 99,9% of the balls a player pots in a match are intended but that 0,1% is what sometimes makes the difference.
I think if it was Murphy instead of Judd this forum was about to explode.

Fantastic clearance from Walden here. Pure class.

And an equally nice 98 break to grab the lead. Allen will be lucky to escape the session on terms.

[montoya10]

He isn't. Walden closes out the session with a century. Swept the second mini-session. Wow.

Allen's performance left me wondering. How on the earth did he reach the semi-finals? Surely he didn't play like this against Fu, but it has been a very slow start to this semi-final for him.

I thought Allen played quite well before MSI but after that Ricky was outstanding. Hopefully Mark has a good start this evening, wouldn't mind if I saw the 17th frame.

What time(UK time) does the next session start? Thanks.

His safety success wasn't as good as it should be early on, I suppose. I expected a bit more from him and for sure, overreacted at his relatively passive play.

And I also hope we're in for a good ending here : )

[montoya10]

And Mark has been quick out of the blocks to get back on terms. Quite a good start.

[Deepscrew]

Just had a good view of his cue then, looks tapered down to quite a small tip size.

[montoya10]

Very crucial error from Walden. I wonder if he will get over it quickly or not.
Earlier, Allen missed three balls to the center consecutively, but after doing all the hard work, faltering at the final hurdle must be really tough.

[Gerry Armstrong]

Great dish from Walden.
