Shanghai Masters Qualifying and Main Draw

[PatBlock]

Getting interesting now, wonder if Higgins goes 6-7 behind to MSI. Trump looks a bit under pressure there.

Yes it looks like the momentum's with JH now, what a great match.

Yes 6 - 7 . . . getting real close now

Who do you fancy from here?

I am hoping Higgins wins it.

Tough to say... Trump has often responded quite well to players coming back at him in the past, like the UK final or the semi-final at the WC against Ding. But he did lose to Carter from 12-9 up at the WC, and to Maguire in Germany as well. I don't think his game will fall apart, but he needs some one-visit stuff if Higgins continues like this.

You can't really bet against Higgins in close finishes like this, with all of his experience and bottle. The worry for him was not taking his chances as strongly as Trump, and it did cost him this morning. But now that it's turned around, he should be a slight favourite if he makes it 7-7.

Higgins looks good from here . . .

eurosport commentator so irritating

Wow what a frame on the final black!

[Odrl]

Not a good sign for Trump, he missed by a mile when he had a shot at the black. :wink:

pressure on both players didn't think higgins would miss that pink. but trump missed a blue off the spot with cue ball in hand - that's a standard shot for him. and his attempt on the black looked very jabby. it makes me feel better about my game seeing that :@)

Cheers mate...but I don't have a subscription, so guess I'll have to do with the less-than-perfect images of sportlemon. Still good enough to watch, especially with eurosport most probably not airing much of the 2nd session later on on tv.

higgins gets a lot of key doubles. did in 2006 masters, 2011 uk, 2011 wsc.

That was a good break from Trump there, and not just the exhibition stuff either. :smile:
