Welsh Open match discussion

Nice to see Hendry in good form. I felt sorry for him last couple of years.

[Semih_Sayginer]

3-1 to Hendry

looks as if both players are in good form, by watching livescores

pity its not live anywhere

Stephen Hendry 3-1 Stephen Lee
76-37
122(89)-0
54(32)-53(53)
0-96(96)

Seems to be quite a good match, both close frames and good breaks - pity we can't watch it!

For the record, I am not anti-Ronnie. I am anti rabid fans.

Ronnie is one of the best players ever and he consistently appears in my top 10 lists.

I am, however, against a lot of his behaviour. But that's another issue altogether.

More on topic. Hendry seems back on track a little bit. It'd be fantastic to see him win another tournament, but I don't see him beating an inform Murphy anymore.

[matoski]

I agree about O'Sulivan. He is one of the greatest players along side with Hendry, Davis and Higgins, but his attitude on and off the table can be admired only by some hot shot teenagers and noty girls. I prefer watching players that have more serious approach to the game, such as Higgins, Hendry, Murphy, Maguire, Doherty....

You can find strange fans for every player. I remember how uncomfortable I was feeling when reading certain Davis fan posts on this forum, for example.

Maybe we should stick to the match discussion better?

[matoski]

You are right. Hendry-Lee 3-2 now.
Can Lee turn this match around?

[April madness]

4-2 now. Lee will fight to the end, but hopefully Hendry will win

ronnie colud easily lose today...he doesnt finishis frames in one visit and need many chanses for big break...and his longpotting

but if hesi in mood and have a good start and composure ali will be whitewashed like last time they played...think ronnie before didnt play so well(ford ALOMST beat him match before)

thats the beauty with ronnie

I dont know off-hand what the head to head is between ronnie and carter, but from what i can remember ronnie is massively ahead. They do seem to draw each other a lot, Caters day must come sooner or later ?

[issha]

indeed...maybe today he have a chance..but who can tell...

Hendry-Lee 5-2

[Robert602]

Hendry has just taken frame and match 5-2 over Lee with a collection of modest breaks in the last frame. He's in a semi again .

[Valderie]

Hurray - Stephen Hendry wins 5-2 - I was terrified of commenting before in case I jinxed him as I usually do!

[matoski]

A great semifinal in prospect. Hendry-Higgins.
