The Masters 2014

Yes interesting match so far... bit scrappy in the last frame. This one has final frame decider written all over it

Edit : hmm not so sure now... Shaun seems out of sorts atm and Ding has all the luck in the world.

[cyberheater]

I can't believe the luck Ding is getting.

I'm loving this frame! And a good one for Shaun to win.

On to another scrappy 8th frame...

Yep. The scrappy stuff is the best. LOL. They can't seem to be able to pot a ball at the moment. It certainly makes me feel good about how bad I can play sometimes

I think the woman in the red dress it putting them off

That must be it indeed

Weird couple of frames but so incredibly enjoyable I almost feel guilty

I think Shaun must be wondering how he won that frame. If Ding can't get his head together then I think Shaun will win this.

Looks like Ding's has used all his luck and its Murphy's to lose now

[brusque]

Having had money on Shaun to win last frame .... I enjoyed the outcome but not the duration

It's what makes Snooker such a fascinating game. This match has 5-5 written all over it..

some super smart play from Murph and what a safety shot on the yellow!

Yes. It's been a brilliant match so far.

I know what you mean, this is crazy stuff. Can Ding take it to the decider?

EDIT: No.

Too bad wasn't it... would have loved a decider!

Great job Shaun...to come through in the end was high quality stuff.

[Odrl]

That was pretty bad stuff from both of them after the interval, kind of unusual after the very high-quality start. Ding has been so strong mentally this season that I just never expected another horror show from him, but I guess no one is immune to bad days.

This was Shaun Murphy's second win against a "top" player this season, so his record is now 2 out of 9. Getting better. :smile: But probably needs to get better still to beat Fu in the next round...

Just got around to watching the last frame. I had to pop out.

Shaun did well to hold it together and fall over the line. I felt sorry for Ding though. Looked like the wheels started to fall off for him as the match progressed. He's normally so strong.

I wonder what time the O'Sullivan vs Milkins match is on?
