UK Champ. 2009 - Semi-final Discussion

Maguire makes a horrible attempt on a long red early on, and goes in-off to let Ding in..

A good chance for Ding to retake the lead..

[montoya10]

A total clearance of 134.. Good response from the young man, spike

Ding's taken the loss of 2 frames alarmingly well I thought he might struggle after that but no! Wonderful clearance from Ding in the 11th.

[Odrl]

Needs to stamp his authority on this match again by taking this frame i feel..

Is that what you had in mind?

He still looks good to me, even though he lost the first two.

[dinovirus]

wtf stephen? Not that I really care for the guy, but he's supposed to go 6-6 there

[montoya10]

After I saw that look from him, with the last crazy foul on the penultimate red, I call it time..

Come on Stephen!!

[missneworleans]

poor miss on the black from Maguire
well he's not done, is he??

[spike]

Ding regains his two frame lead again. Difficult to say how the rest of this match will pan out, but it's still not looking too bad for a 9-5 win to Ding..

[noel]

One question remains...

Loooks like it's all over for Maguire
Stephen was very lucky to be in the semis
He hasn't played a top16 player !

[miscuehamburg]

A very impressive win for Ding. He seems mentally completely rebuild compairing this with his last two seasons. Therefore it would be quite interesting to see him playing ROS in the final, even if I'll be actually supporting John tomorrow.

[montoya10]

Shame Mark J lost to Lines

I've already explained my disappointment, but looking at Maguire's form now, Mark could have been up against for the task against Ding..

Congratulations to Ding for a second successive ranking event final appearance, and congratulations to spike for a great prediction of 9-5 win for Ding

[spike]

Well done Ding! Looks like just toupihiggins and i were the only ones who predicted right score..

[very.tee]

Congrats to Ding He missed some shots but Stephen just didn't relly perform well today and couldn't capitalise on the few mistakes Ding made

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's match I can see whoever wins that winning overall.

I'll be supporting John tomorrow and may I just say, he looks lovely in pink

[missneworleans]

Pink?
He was in green wasn't he?
or did i misunderstood sth?
