World Champ. 2009 -2nd round discussion!

[Forman]

Im pretty skeptical about hendrys chances of winning another world championship.
Yes he played great against ding and if he can play like that for the rest of the tournament he will be a great chance but he was pretty average against williams only williams was worse.
Quite a few times over the past couple of years has hendry performed well in one match prompting people to start wondering if he had turned the corner and would be back to his old form only for him to have a shocker in the next match.

Mark Allen is playing well this morning and hes looking determined and focused....9-8 Ronnie

He needed to make a good start and he had! Come on Mark.

[very.tee]

Mark's playing superbly!!!

This is quite a match 9-9.
Come On Mark!!:snooker:

Come On Mark!!:snooker:

Yeah I'd really fancy him to win to be honest he's really gone for this match and deserves it how hes played.

9-9 and a real chance for a respoted black....Allen will be favorite there considering Ronnies long potting

[Forman]

what a great match so far, respoted black in the 19th frame exciting stuff

loving marks reaction when he potted that black you can see he really wants this match bad

[very.tee]

What a FRAME! What a FRAME!

That was exhausting!

Yes, nothing wrong with that at all - you're playing Ronnie at the crucible and pot a tough black to go 10-9 up from 9-7 down.

Ronnie is thinking of a max next frame though. Could this overtake Ding - Hendry as the game of the tournament?

[wildhoney28]

Watch this...Ronnie's answer.

[attilahun]

The frame is won...he can now focus on the 147...CMON RONNIE

[wildhoney28]

What a bloody piece of snooker.I love that!

[attilahun]

Too bad....that was close.....what a match....10-10

[Forman]

respot black, max attempt, loving this match.
hope it will go right down to the wire

[João]

I wasn't expecting such a difference between Fu and Murphy. What's happening there? Murphy potting everything or?

[Mal]

respot black, max attempt, loving this match.

Yes - 3 centuries from Mark, 2 from Ronnie who has also had 3 other 90+ breaks. Plus plenty of other good breaks and a clearance from Mark and good respotted black including pressure pink before when not getting on the black.

Living up to expectations.
