World Champ. 2009 -2nd round discussion!

What a day's Snooker we've had so far today - with Hendry & Ding this morning and O Sullivan and Allen this afternoon and the high standard of play they've produced - and then more of Hendry/Ding tonight, which is so nicely poised at 8-8.

Cracking yellow from Shaun should be 3-1 at mid session.

Marcos "doing an ebdon" as some of you might say

[Alex0paul]

I rate Marco up there with Higgins and Ebdon as the best players when playing for snookers.

Indeed alex.

Phew Shaun leads 3-1. C'MON!!

Ronnie cueing beautifully, and takes the 13th frame with a break of 93 to go 7-6 up.

[RocketRoy1983]

This really is great stuff from Mark Allen. 7-7 and his bottle and determination is commendable.

[Alex0paul]

Great shot on the black to finish.

[matoski]

Great century from such a difficult situation. The reds were covering eachother, black off the spot, pink tied up.... Marvelous performance.

[JiangYu]

Oh dear, Marco looks to go 4-1 down

[RocketRoy1983]

Oh dear, Marco looks to go 4-1 down

Which means Shaun cant trail going into the 2nd session.

[JiangYu]

Come on, Marco! Get back to 4-4!

[Alex0paul]

Come on, Marco! Get back to 4-4!

If he can get out at 4-4 or even 3-5 he will have got out of jail. He just hasn't been at the races today so far.

Great, a miscue.

Great, a miscue.

And he's just had a bad miscue.

[matoski]

Todays performance by Marco reminds me of the ones against Dominic Dale in Bahrain and Neil Robertson in Wales. He just isn't there.
