World Champ. 2009 -1st round discussion!

[Looki]

Hendry was unlucky having a kick on the green.

[Alex0paul]

Dott levels at 5-5 but Hawkins has a decent scroing chance in frame 11.

[spike]

Hendry only 1 frame behind at 6-5.

[Alex0paul]

Hawkins moves 6-5 ahead courtesy of a 105 break.

[attilahun]

The standard of play is not great at the moment...lets hope it does get better

[Alex0paul]

Graeme levels again with a 91. 6-6.

Mahoosive frame now.

[João]

Very very low standard in Hendry - Williams match. It has been hard to follow.

[attilahun]

7-5 to Mark now, who seems to have a problem with the cue tip.....

EDIT a 15 min break for Mark to sort things out with the tip

[spike]

Williams goes 7-5 up and both players have gone out of the arena while Mark has his tip looked at.

[Ekphantos]

He had one in the previous session too, didn't he? Nice to see they agreed on letting him go and fix it though

[Maija]

Just Barry that's been left out. haha

Awww. Mon Barry!! :snooker: (Stop leaving reds like that, for starters!)

Does anyone else have problems with the Eurosport player? It keeps freezing for a fraction of a second every time there's a fast ball, buffers a lot or just plain dies. This is regardless of whether or not I use the rest of my bandwidth. It's really quite annoying.

[Mal]

Yeah, poor standard - black off the spot was abominable from Stephen - Mark is getting the run, but it could turn round soon enough.

They were talking about Mark's tip - He should have just bit it off! (I believe that's how Ronnie got round it!)

[João]

7-5 to Mark now, who seems to have a problem with the cue tip.....

EDIT a 15 min break for Mark to sort things out with the tip

He has been suggesting that since the first session. I mean didn't he have time to fix it between yesterday and today? He surely have practiced with it and how come he didn't notice anything strange before the match?

[gby4]

Hendry is a true gentleman, with no luck for Stephen and outrageuos fluke for Mark, he wants to have a break so that Mark can fix his tip

Of course Hendry can also use a break to compose himself.

[Alex0paul]

Dott goes ahead, 7-6, with a break of 95. Very good scoring, mostly one chance snooker here.
