Great match! Maguire got going in the second half, but he'd left himself too much to do. It will be interesting to see how well Hawkins can play in the next round. The draw is not too difficult, either Stevens or Allen, both beatable in my opinion.

Great point, watching the highlights now, I always like to hear what the pundits say about the matches and the interviews!!

Very disappointing performance from Steve Maguire...I was expecting way better from him but the first session killed him. He went back strongly in the second, equalizing at 8 all but it was not enough...
Congrats to Barry on the other hand. He managed to knock on a crucial break in the decider and a well earned victory!

Tuesday's morning matches:



Wonderful Waldo: Ranking winner Walden will be hoping to win his first match at the crucible by beating McLeod



Discipline and Audacity: Fu will be hoping to keep the all action Gould in check

[Ronnie's tip]

Anyone know when the Ronnie/Dale match is on? Should be on today shouldn't it? Fancy Dale to come back into it. 10-8 to Ronnie is my guess.

dom has a pot succcess of 90 % but trails 2:7

how on earth

I almost feel sorry for Dale. The fact that he's played well against Ronnie has only served to spur Ronnie on to try harder. If you are going to play well against Ronnie it seems you need to completely blitz him.

It seems like Marco Fu is in scoring mood today.

Playing badly now tho

Want Stevens to do well today and you'd feel Allen is vulnerable. If he manages to win he's got a free pass to the quarter-finals in what could be the repeat of the 2000 final.

Well he suddenly improved a lot

[missneworleans]

Fu played pretty well apart from that 2 frames so Gould should count himself lucky to be just 6-3 behind in the end!

[Rane]

I guess Walden and McLeod can´t play all 9 frames in this session. Not totally unexpected. Two players that in my opinion would do better if they speeded up a little.

34 seconds shot time for Rory lol......painful to watch sometimes

If u've ever seen phil taylor play darts (im a big fan of his) he's the same, just more consistent, it's SO tough for an opponent of a playing well Ronnie or Taylor knowing that anything they do may not be enough, must be very hard to bear!!

(there are days when phil taylor is truly unstoppable during the last 3 years!!)
