Welsh Open 2010 SF discussion

[Odrl]

Carter won't get a better chance than this.

[ore]

Instead of watching this not so pretty match, I follow the live scoring and play iSnooker

Ali on a break now.. But probably the previous frame was supposed to be the last. So, I'll probably jinx Carter and he'll miss before he can wrap this one up

Suprisingly, he's still holding on!
Just a few balls till frame ball left

[Odrl]

Oh well, I'm proved wrong once again. Well played Carter, but it's going to be a bit tougher than Swail in the final this year.

[Looki]

Well, he managed to keep his head together there.. I have take my hat of to his title defence so far. The real test is tomorrow, if it's Ronnie I'd say no chance knowing Ali's record against him, against Higgins maybe a slight chance.

He makes an 80, which is enough to win the match, and congratulations to O'Sullivan-Higgins winner for winning Welsh Open 2010

Congratulations to Ali also for making it to the final

So where's the big colorful letters squad raging with joy?

But do you imagine that extra motivation Carter would have to get over Ronnie?

[cue1]

The defending champion is through to his second consecutive Welsh Open final Can he make it a double? It won't be long before we find out Come On Ali!!! :snooker:

Another cracker coming up... Come On Ronnie!!! :snooker:

@ ore: We take shifts to cheer for our faves

If motivation had something to do with that one, Mark Williams would not hold a 7-18 all time record against Ronnie O'Sullivan

Carter has zero chance against any of the other semi finalists.. Still, he did well to reach at least the final...

Never say never, mate

Well done Ali deserves final
Waiting for Ronnie-Higgins showdown

[montoya10]

Never say never, mate

It's my life philosophy, something like a mantra for me, so, well said

But Carter hasn't shown anything to prove me that he is on form..

He beat Davis, Robertson, Day and Maguire, and none of these players looked like playing well at all..

And I can't explain the frustration I feel towards Maguire right now.. It could easily have been Williams in the final against the classic's winner..

[missneworleans]

Didnt saw the match. Was Maguire so poor??

[ore]

Didnt saw the match. Was Maguire so poor??

Yeah. Commentary described him as "all over the place" more than once. And Ali was very solid in the 1st frames.

[missneworleans]

Shame it looked like he found form in quarters...3rd lose in a row at semis...
