A shame about the respot otherwise it'd be 7-5 but as a I said, Carter is clearly playing very well and just needs to get going which he looks like he's doing.

8-4 and 9-7 would be a nice target for him.

after losing the opening 2 Frames he was stearing at a 5-3 session loss so i think 4-4 session would be a result for Carter anything better would be a bonus.

i wouldnt say he was a better Player but he is fighting very hard and playing some good safeties making it hard for Robertson to get in to Score i still think given a descent chance Robbo looks more Likely to make a big break.

He's now won the last 4 frames, only lost one frame on the black ball ... he's easily the better player.

This has always been Carter's problem in the longer matches though. He goes awol for a session then plays great for 5 or 6 frames then goes awol again. I reckon Robertson could have got a tiny bit excited by the scoreline and maybe looked too far ahead because he has never been in a situation like that.

What if Carter got back to 8-8 :chin: All the momentum with El Capitano, I knew he'd play better today with a good break after the QF, just needs to sneak one of these last frames and he can be very pleased with his work.

If he can get back to 8-8 you'd almost expect the foot to be taken off the gas and Robbo to get the next burst of frames.

Anyway, 8-8 is looking like a strong possibility now. Carter has got Robbo missing. Game on!

i think Robertson lost his edge i half expected it when he reached 8 frames thinking its a good lead as sonny said at the time long way to go needing another 9 frames.

I can see why you think that but the last red and pink were pocket weight and these cloths do have some nap.
