Ronnie & Robbo share the spoils going into tonight session 4-4, a high quality affair.
Ronnie was 4-1 up, included 3 centuries. Neil has got the one but still hit 80+ every frame he's won. 1 frame each where they needed two visits other than that 1 visit pool (excluding the safety battles lol)
Rooting for Higgins here, just hope he gets a good start tonight.
Massive collapse from Higgins there to lose 10-9 to Robbo, will this spur him on to have a good World Championship or will it do the opposite? He looked broken following the defeat
A big couple of days ahead, what's known as deadline day!

I know it's only in exhibition, but Williams is clearly in form heading into the world championship. I follow a guy on twitter who was there & he said he's never seen anything like it.

Yeah i see that too, after winning some on the golf i put eachway on him. Also have Wilson with a freebet so far, normally would go Robertson but he's too short imo. Its going to be very wide open this year and in that form surely MJW us good value.
Qualifiers from judgement day part 1: Donaldson (49) Lyu Haotian (64) Stephen Maguire (41) Michael White (A)
Un Nooh (53) Jamie Jones (37) Ding Junhui (29) Ashley Hugill (77)
Anyone who wants to watch it just type in World Snooker Tour on FB, or world snooker live stream, also available on youtube. Resumes at 11am, second session 5pm.
So we now know who will be joining the top 16 , yesterdays qualifiers: Dave Gilbert (19) Chris Wakelin (62) Noppon Saengkham (38) Liam Highfield (43) Jackson Page (90) Jamie Clarke (66) Hossain Vafei (18) Matthew Stevens(55) defeated Ali Carter
draw today, i think around 11am or 1130, might be slightly wrong but will be on FB World Snooker Tour page.

Thank you, i was just catching up. Tricky one for ROS , although i think its a tough one to call in alot this year. Looking forward to it
Highlighted my predictions above, although a few i was 50/50, based on the draw i've got a Wilson v Robbo final. Backed Wilson early with a freebet, got on MJW at 33/1 the other day, in an exhibition he hit 9 centuries in 11 frames, not just smashing the pack up and included back to back 147's so clearly he is in good form.
Some good matches there. A few dangerous qualifiers, Maguire, Ding, Gilbert. I think it's hard to call. Robertson is favourite but he doesn't like the Crucible.

Also Higgins could be looking for revenge following his 9-4 collapse last week. Makes Higgins either dangerous, or an easier match for him. We shall see, no easy matches and can see a few shocks.
I did think about the prediction league, but i dont really have time to do it and just get ready for each round. We could always put predictions in here anyway to keep some interest.
Ok, sorry i have been watching it but forgot to update on here.
So far results: Selby 10-7 Jones Xintong 10-2 Clarke Ronnie 10-5 Gilbert Page 10-7 Hawkins Maguire 10-8 Murphy Mcgill 10-7 Highfield Williams 10-3 White Allen 10-6 Donaldson Robertson 10-5 Hugill Bingham 10-5 Haotian Bingtao 10-6 Wakelin
Todays games: Higgins 4-5 Un nooh - 10 am to finish Ding v Wilson - 10am, 7pm to finish
Vafei v Trump 230 start, finishes tomorrow eve Lisowski 6-3 Stevens , 230pm to finish
Brecel v Noppon 7pm start, finish tomorrow afternoon.
Some really good performances, some of the underdogs have started well eg. Gibert/Hugill both going 3-0 & 3-1 up and then Ronnie and Robbo turning it around. No deciders yet but surely Ding Wilson could be? So wide open this year, i am enjoying it!
So a couple of finishes yesterday afternoon/eve: Lisowski beat Matthew Stevens 10-8 , Stevens had gone 7-6 up from being 6-3 down but a couple missed chances either way. Wilson beat Ding 10-8 , nearly a decider but Wilson got over the line
Noppon currently leads Brecel 6-3, it was 6-1, resumes 1pm today
2nd round also starts today at 1pm, best of 25, we have the master MJW v apprentice Jackson Page.
Trump leads Vaifei 6-3, it was 3-0,3-3,6-3, this concludes tonight at 7pm and will be the last ones through to round 2.
Xintong plays Maguire, starts tonight at 7pm.
Enjoy your day everyone, still no major shocks. You could say Jackson Page v Hawkins, but Hawkins hasn't really been very consistent and Page is one for the future but still looking good at the mo. Same with Noppon v Brecel if he finishes the job, he is solid and i expected him to win (cashed out the bet already at 6-1) Brecel hasn't done well at the crucible yet, although he is having his best season Noppon has been tidy in the qualifiers and was always going to be tough. Not done yet, but Luca really needs to get a couple early then its game on.
watched a few of the first round. Page looks good and i'm looking forward to seeing him against Williams who with Wilson performed the best in round 1 imo. Had the misfortune of watching Maguire v Murphy. some painful snooker in that match.
Un nooh blew it against Higgins. Attacking player but throws away opportunities.

I'd agree with most of that, i think alot of the top players have hit good patches and won. MJW for me is the standout, i got on him a couple weeks before 33/1 , but its not often someone will be able to sustain a whole 2 weeks at that level, so still too early for me to count the winnings lol.
Un-Nooh really annoyed me, he had the chances and they both kept gifting it and Higgins got away with it really, he is so attacking and brilliant to watch but always likely to miss the key balls or play a bad saftey, he is one of the best to watch when playing well.
I watched that Murphy/ Maguire game, again it was a tough watch, but as soon as the divider lifted Maguire clicked in, said he could see balls alot clearer with the lighting etc. Also Robbo was the same played better after it was raised, although his is more about his stance as he walks onto the shots more deliberate than other players, so he wont be comfortable until they get down to the one table.
I'd still say there is probably 8=10 players that can win still, but all the big guns through, could be a stacked quarter final if it continues.
Noppon Saengham beats Luca Brecel 10-5, made light work of today and will face his compatriot's victor John Higgins in the next round.
Currently 5-0 MJW vs Page, in the all welsh battle. A combination of MJW playing and potting well and a bit of nerves from Page. you would think he needs to get to within 6-3 ideally to not be out of it on the first session.
Quick update, i didn't see much last night as i was out playing pool (last game of the season, won the league)
Trump won 10-5 against Vafaei, what i found interesting one century and not too many breaks, from that alone and watching some of the first session, he doesn't really look on it. Early days so you cant write him off but a tough game next Mcgill, if he plays like that he will lose.
Williams 7-1 Page (resumes 10 am) , if Page can win a few frames they will also be finishing up tonight at 7pm, possible they finish with a session to spare. Ronnie v Allen, kicks off 10am, second session is 7pm. completes tomorrow morning Selby v Bingtao starts 2.30 today, also 10am tomorrow and finishes 7pm. Xintong 3-5 Maguire, resumes 2.30pm, finishes Saturday
For a full list check out snooker.org, also i'll probably be offline after this afternoon until Tuesday so i'll catch up then unless someone else fancies updating over the weekend.
Ronnie 6-2 Allen, a combination of Ronnie on form and Allen not really getting into it, Allen giften Ronnie frame 7, ROS had a chance in the last but went Allen's way, fair result. Maybe MJW on the other table is spurring him on to play well?
RESULT: Mark Williams 13-3 Jackson Page, a session to spare
MJW hits 6 centuries in a classy performance to humiliate his young protegee, not much you can do about that one, anyone would have struggled to cope with him on this form.
MJW will play the winner of Selby/ Bingtao which kicks off 230pm
Ronnie 6-2 Allen, a combination of Ronnie on form and Allen not really getting into it, Allen giften Ronnie frame 7, ROS had a chance in the last but went Allen's way, fair result. Maybe MJW on the other table is spurring him on to play well?

Williams was ridiculous yesterday - Poor old Page was 7-0 down and hadn't really done anything wrong !!

Ronnie was 4-1 up, included 3 centuries. Neil has got the one but still hit 80+ every frame he's won. 1 frame each where they needed two visits other than that 1 visit pool (excluding the safety battles lol)
