Carter has shown in this match how tough mentally Snooker at the Crucible is.

Indeed but what we really need now is a bit of controversy, say Michaela Tabb leaning over the balls and disrupting them with her :jugs:

I think Carter is suffering from his long match with Murphy whereas Robbo is relaxed/rested having easily dispatched Davis.

Very few players have the ability to keep their focus when they keep getting pushed to the hill match after match. Higgins is really the only player who's shown that ability recently IMO.

Looks like a Robbo blowout at this rate.

Spot on. Similar two years ago for Carter and his late semi-final win, got off to a bad start the next day in the final.

Carter is in a mess and in serious trouble. If it goes to 7-1 for Robbo, Carter may well already have too much to do against a player in very good form.
