Steve Davis vs Neil Robertson - Discussion

[Kingscratcher]

Robbo played pretty well this morning, but Davis was back to playing at the standard we've come to expect from him over the last few years - unexpectedly missing easy balls and giving frames away. He is 52 though as we've been reminded a few times this week! Would be nice if he could make a match of it, but can't see it - Robbo could just blow him away tonight. Still a fantastic achievement to reach the quarters if that does happen though

128 From Steve to restore the confidense, but way too late I am afraid. Maybe He can get to 4 frames so that they will still play tomorrow.

You enjoy that choccy biscuit Den

I don't know why un-australian people want Neil to win

Yea, i see what your saying..but im english and i love niel robertson, im not too botherd about countries in snooker...that one of the great things about snooker and the snooker community...its about you as a person and not where you come from (in football, teams like arsenal are targeting for having not many english players and stuff)...

although davis is a great guy and he is one of my favorite players and has all my respect, although Niel is also an incredible player who has played well in the matches i have been watching in last few days

Davis was all-over the place with Robbo like last year..not much chances we will see another session...

Oh dear 11-2 for Robbo. Cannot see this match going into the 3rd session at all. Looks like Steve just has got no fuel left in the tank

nice red there Steve

[gby4]

Ha hahaaa ...see you tomorrow.

[miscuehamburg]

Great fight for the 3rd session. At least Steve will be entry-hailed from the crowd once more

I want Robertson to win the match, but I must say that I´m glad that Steve Davis managed to keep the match alive for a third session. And what a messy last frame, even given the situation it was good to see , that both players could see the fun in it.

well done steve! come on only another 10 frames to go! haha...


i might go and put a fiver on him i wonder what the odds are now?! haha

Good for Davis for taking the match into the final session. Highlight of the evening was Steve's century..

well done steve! come on only another 10 frames to go! haha.....

he only needs 9 so no problem (4-12 down)

Yes it would have been too much of an anticlimax. It might be the last time we see him in a quarter final at the cruicible.

He only needs another 9 frames on the bounce!
Shame for him and for snooker how this match has gone ,I have watched every frame today and its is clear as day with his 128 break that he was cueing world class ,but robertson or robinson or whatever his name is , is a bit of a bogey player for Steve, has had all the running today,not just slight run of the ball but outragous good luck all day,
he is just that sort of player, a contolled calculated cueists nightmare, his luck must surely run out , but alas it wont be against the legend.
Without all his rubs of the green the score would have been a lot lot closer,
shame for Steve because if anyone deserved luck it should have been him
I am still not writing of Steve because tomorrow he will win !
Come on legend!!!
