World Championship 2009 [provisional discussion]

And Wells has taken it to another final frame decider. But I think Hawkins will have a better chance if he qualifies.

Hawkins is a really overated player, would love to see some new blood at the crucible, come on daniel!

[abextra]

9-8!!! Come on, Steve, just one more to go! :snooker:

[spike]

I would say the opposite, i think Hawkins is underrated myself.

It would be good to see a new youngster at the Crucible. But if Hawkins does win this, that will be how hes earned his rating through winning matches like this.

Well done the Nugget on maing it 9-8. Just a century to finish now please Steve.

C'MON on Steve your nearly there

I wouldn't say he's overrated but he just can't deal with the pressure. But I also hope Daniel would make it to the Crucible, have heard alot about him but never really got to see him play.

spick vs davis has 9-9 written all over it

[MalJackson]

Hawkins misses too many easy balls, i dont think he will win anything special ever in his career, will have a david gray type career

[footygirl]

Thanks- I really needed to hear that

Well he appears to be dealing with the pressure on this occasion.

Hawkins is a better player than you give him credit for! On his day he's as good as anyone in the balls!

Hawkins in many ways reminds me of Ali Carter. It looks like he just need that crucial win when it really matters to get going. Last year he only lost to Ali Carter because a mobilphone rang when he was on a difficult shot in the decider, and he had three winning chances against Ronnie O´Sullivan in Northern Ireland.
