Agreed.

And now they have fucking horses in it for some reason.

:angry:

Probably a payback for John Parrott presenting the Grand National.

Tremendous comeback from Stephen Hendry there to win 10-9 after being 9-7 down. Eagerly looking forward to the first round rematch of the classic 2006 Graeme Dott/Peter Ebdon final. Should be one of the highlights of the tournament.

Hendry plays Selby now right? Should be dinger of a match.

Steve Davis rolling back the years, he’s taken the last four frames to lead Mark King 8-6.

Williams and O’Sullivan to meet in Round 2.

Ah lovely.

King v Davis Live it’s 9-9

One of those nights at the Crucible. The Nugget just about comes out victorious in a very tense Romford derby. Somebody buy that man a drink. :pint: 52 years old and into the second round once again. :clap:

Great performance from Steve Davis last night. John Higgins is next up for him. Would be something else if he could take Higgins scalp as well.

Graeme Dott powering ahead 7-2 against Peter Ebdon in that clash of former champions.

Powering in a slow monotonous manner.

Shaping up to be an interesting tournament. Two second round places to be filled. Shaun Murphy & Stephen Maguire likely to fill them, both well ahead.

Second Round Draw as follows:

John Higgins v Steve Davis
Neil Robertson v Martin Gould
Ali Carter v Joe Perry
Ding Junhui v Shaun Murphy

Stephen Maguire v Graeme Dott
Mark Allen v Mark Davis
Mark Selby v Stephen Hendry
Mark Williams v Ronnie O’Sullivan

John Higgins 2-6 Steve Davis.

Interesting.

8-4 to Davis now. Mid session interval. Higgins has settled on a bit but his decision making is still a bit shit. Id imagine he’ll win it yet but hes doing his best to lose it

Crucial last frame for Davis to ensure an overnight 9-7 lead.

Graeme Dott looking to look more like his old self. Could be a dark horse for the tournament. 6-1 ahead on Stephen Maguire.

11-11. Epic battle between the two master cuemen. First to 13 wins.

great performance from the nugget in fairness. id expect higgins to pull through. the 1.03 backers must be having a brown pants moment :lol:

Davis purses his lips and blows through them. An exhalation of relief. He held it together there excellently. 12-11 to the Romford maestro. Both men leave the arena to gather their thoughts.

Advantage Nugget

What a superb double on the brown to free up the blue. Wonderful scenes. :clap:
