Welsh Open'11 - SF discussion

It was a tricky black but I still expected Selby to make it..

You're being quite generous there... it wasn't that tricky. Selby bottled that one.

Strange to see a player dragging a shot in like that as 9/10 they usually roll them in . Even over a short distance things can go wrong when you put drag on .

Omg what a gift for Maguie. If Maguire goes 3-1 up it will be very hard from there

I agree, not that tricky to roll that one in.

It was definitely a pressure shot to win a frame. Wouldn't beat myself too badly for that.

But what I've noticed lately, on couple occasions, that Selby has tried to disturb a red which lies near or on top cushion from the black... That's pretty uncommon as players tend to play a good possitional shot on a red on the cush from the black but not to develope them reds.

In that third frame when they had a safety battle on the blue he tried and moved the black when it was lying almost on the top cushion. But then it went back to the cush when he potted the pink... So maybe he doesn't feel too comfortable with them..

It's looking that way at the moment. Hard to pick a winner at this point, but Selby has done well to get back to 2-2 especially with how he lost the third frame..

[missneworleans]

Maguire cant keep on the momentum. Come on Selby!!

Fantastic frame of snooker. And to think that Selby could have won it ages ago when he was in the balls.

It looks like we'll be getting the midnight finish now, and possibly a decider as well.

[Looki]

Great clearance from Maguire, especially the long blue when the frame was anything but won was just fantastic.

Most exciting match of the tournament by far. And a good quality too.

[FerruleFox]

Down to the last frame.

Is this crowd ever going to wake up? There's more energy in a morgue.

[Odrl]

Probably one of the best matches of the season so far. Some very good breaks from both players, especially Maguire, and a lot of tension.

I think Maguire is not very far from his best now. We might see it tomorrow.

[rivercard]

That was a really good match, Maguire did very well to compose himself in the decider. As for Selby, I can't believe he played such a poor break off shot for the second time, in the end it basically cost him the match. Here's hoping for a close final tomorrow..
