Would you not think Ding was sloppy there? Played some poor safety shots, particularly in the first two frames.
Clarke did nothing wrong. McGill was potting in to the other corner pocket. Gamesmanship from McGill. It worked.
Sit down. No need for him to stand anywhere at that point. That was my reading of it anyway
Over 23 frames you’re going to play the odd loose shot. Ding would have beaten almost anybody else the way he played overall
11-10 McGill
I missed the middle session in fairness, but I thought Ding was poor tonight. Bad safety and made a hames of a few opportunities, particularly a couple of bad missed blacks from Ronnie.
You see O’Sullivan’s interview after? Said the standard was shocking and he’d have to lose an arm to lose to most lads on the tour
Yeah I posted the interview above
Apologies I skipped it to read your reply.
He’s both the most likable and unlikable sportsman around
“Sportsman”???
Steady on.
Maflin will beat either of this two.
12-11 Clarke
12-12. Clarke missed a great chance on the pink
12-12
Clarke blew a great chance to seal the match there
Does either of them want to win this ?
Based on this Ronnie is dead right.
Some shocking stuff there. I’d have fancied myself on that red to the middle
In the main, the standard has been very high all tournament. This is awful stuff though. Worst match I’ve seen.
Highest break 78. Woeful
A break of 30 would win this
