Welsh Open 2010 - Round 1 Dicussion

You've never seen one on TV?

No, never..

Closest one I get to see was O'Sullivan's, the one against Carter in Northern Ireland Trophy.. I watched a couple of frames, then had to go out, and came back to get stunned..

Hm, not so many opportunities now that the tables are back to normal, but it's bound to happen at least once in these last three tournaments, isn't it?

Could be today.

I didn't lose my hope yet

I was a bit responsible of missing Hendry's at last season's World Championship, though.. He was already on something like 7 reds, 7 blacks when I turned off the TV and started begging for a miss, because it would get him to share the record with Ronnie, again

He didn't miss, though

Interesting ritual hoping someone would miss... does it ever help?
(Maybe then I'd try it too , sometimes it gets pretty painful to cheer for someone )

Somehow this season it feels like there are less centuries, less attepts for 147... I hope it's just the tables
And the best chance for another one should be WC, more frames and players at their max preparation.

Could it be Hendry has a semi-target in his recent performances - do whatever he can to keep centuries record under his belt for forever?

I'm confused about this a bit. Sometimes it seems to be working, especially if I'm following the live scoring, instead of the match.

Sometimes, while watching on TV, I give up calling a miss, and suddenly the player misses the easiest of the pots

You should give it a go, too

I cant believe Dott has started off as the bookies fav. I am backing Perry at 2.1 on betfair.

But Perry completely collapsed against Day in the Masters, which really makes him the underdog here..

Dott hardly flattered against Doherty in the qualys - i am happy enough.

O'Brien makes a very bad positional play and breaks down on a break of 29..

Come on Mark!!

[ore]

Fergal soooo rusty.

And tennis on Eurosport, of course the players decided to play maximum amount of sets, I'm sure just to take away snooker coverage

Bookies didn't see qualies, just like most of us I guess...
And I noticed that some bookies had Perry and some Dott as a favorite. But by not much.

Mark is not off to a great start..

To make a point clear, this is Tsonga's second career five-set match

And Tsonga is who?

[montoya10]

And Tsonga is who?

A 24-year-older from France.. He looks like Jesus Clay

[Haitch]

Ding - Cope: And an oddity here! Jamie Cope breaks when it should have been Ding's! Luckliy for Cope as that wasn't a great break!

Taken from Eurosport! - Never seen that before - surely should be re-rack, who breaks off next!?
