[spike]

Well played Ali!

[very.tee]

OMG! What's happening? I have no working links and can see Mark's loosing
Is he playing badly or is Anthony playing well? Someone give me a clue!

[spike]

Dont know. I'm waiting for eurosport's coverage which starts in 15mins.

[Rane]

what a match it was.. I will upload it on YT in case anyone missed it.

Yes please.

I would be very surprised if Joe Swail wins any title at all during his career.

If he get´s to a final against Carter. I guess his odds are good.

I wonder when the last of the QF matches will start I wonder if Selby's carrying on needing 4 snookers is justified at all

[hegeland]

I lied down to have a little rest at the first frame of this match, fell asleep, just woke up and the same match is still on! Not only that, but they've barely started frame 6! This will be a late night for some...

Anthony Hamilton goes 3-2 in front with the help of a 60 break. Quite a slow match this one, and the way things are going it could be some time till Fu & Robertson get to play there quarter-final

This could suit Robertson as he's already played one late night match.

I think Selby is making a mistake here by playing his lets-take-one-minute-over -every-shot tactic against someone like Hamilton, who is naturally a very slow and calm player. He is better than Hamilton in almost every deparment, so he should just take the initiative and attack. He is at the moment playing the game Hamilton is better at, but it is kind of fun to watch.

It could suit him but he might be mentally drained from last nite. Also - Fu is better in the evening, as I once heard him being described as a "Bat" by Everton? LOL. As for the Selby-Hamilton match, I've got to say that I'm quite surprised by Hamilton. I know he's a former Top 16 player and more than capable but I just thought the last couple of seasons don't really justify how well he's playing at the moment. Well - you get sudden shifts in form, I guess. Perhaps a Top 16 place for 2011/12 isn't too far off?

Yes it may well suit him. Doesn't suit all us viewers though
