World Champ. 2009 -1st round discussion!

[Plank of Wood]

Ahhh Terry's metaphors; Michael Holt, airports, olympic runners.... he may not be Clive, but he does have a strange an interesting style....

Glad to see Holt playing well.

[Phil]

come on John!!!

[Plank of Wood]

It is sad to see John Higgins missing those easy balls, but he's another chance for the frame now...

Yes, unusual misses for Higgins today. I'm sure he'll put his sh** together for tomorrow, hope he'll take a frame or two in this session..

True! ...
like John's last pink... a very shakey frame and surprising match so far from the overdog.

What!?!?

Did I hear Virgo say because of lack of room their cameramen had to become "Contorturists"?

Come back Clive! ... why oh why is the BBC sending in the Clowns!?!?


=o)

[João]

And as always, Holt's concentration vanishes after a while....

[JiangYu]

Great entertainment at the end of the frame. That's what Snooker needs more of.

[João]

Holt must be glad the session is over, I couldn't see him winning a frame if they kept going.

Anyone else feel slightly short changed with the lack decent matches so far. Not a single final framer with only two matches where the result looked like it could go either way (Dott v Hawkins & Ding v Liang)

[hegeland]

Yes, there's not been very many close matches so far and, while I agree it's a little disappointing, that's the way it goes sometimes and I'm sure we'll see a few close ones before it's time for the curtains.

With so many seeded players left there will be lots of close matches to follow for sure.

Come on Jamie Burnett!

[JiangYu]

Has Stephen Lee put on more weight? He seems to be so much larger the last time I saw him.

EDIT: I can see Ryan struggling to get over the line. He just missed a long pot where he was no where near close. It was at least a food away from the pocket.

[Alex0paul]

Come on Stephen Lee, at least make it a close match.

When was the last time that no 1st round had a decider?

I thought the same thing. Sooner or later, he's going to have to lose some of it.
