World Champ. 2009 -2nd round discussion!

[Wim]

Osullivan not yet at the top of his game but enough to take the lead. Allen will need a good start in the next session.

[matoski]

It has to be sad that Shaun has had the run of the balls a few times in this session. But anyway, that's not an excuse for Marco, because he plays bad this afternoon.

[Alex0paul]

Marco has pretty much got to win this frame.

[spike]

Great session of Snooker from O Sullivan & Allen - but i cant help but feel with that 2 frame lead Ronnie may end up running away with the match - especially if he wins the first frame tomorrow morning.

[Alex0paul]

Can Marco please have some luck?

[JiangYu]

I'm very upset now. Marco won't be in the quarters this year

He still might be!

however it does seem unlikely...

It's early to say that, i belive Marco can turn arroundthe match tomorrow.

[JiangYu]

Let's hope so, Matoski. At last he seems to have had some luck with Murphy missing that red. Murphy has just outclassed in this session. I don't know whether the UK final is still in Marco's mind. However, Very.Tee is right - he plays his best stuff when he's behind. Let's just hope for tomorrow. It's never nice to see a player suffer that badly.

Saying that, he's just missed a red..



I think it's time for Marco to rewatch his performance against Ronnie in 2007 Grand Prix Final for inspiration. He can win 6 frames in a row, no doubt about it. He's done it before.

EDIT: At least tomorrow's session is in the evening. Marco's a nite owl.

[rivercard]

Yes, I feel Marco might have lost this match in this session. He will have to play very well even to make the score close.

Or the comeback against Ebdon, just not the last frame.

[spike]

Marco is good enough matchplayer with a temperament to match to CLAW his way back into the match!
I haven't seen much of Fu and Murphy as I was watching the match on the other table, but i am surprised by the score line as I thought it would've been closer.

[very.tee]

7-1 oh dear...

[wildhoney28]

Well done Shaun.

[Alex0paul]

Agree with what Neal Foulds said, its probably the worst session Marco Fu has played this season. Not over yet though.
