Wonderful matchplay snooker from Ebdon there.. from 3-1 down, dug in deep and kept Ding off the table for most of the contest.. Yes sometimes he took over 2 min on certain shots, but thats nothing new.. he can do that to whoever he faces, thats his style of play, nothing else.. he did pot some cracking balls.. that pink and then the position for black was quite something.
And just look at the players he had to beat to reach the final this week: Stevens, Higgins, Robertson and now Ding, they dont come much tougher than that, I can assure you, especially those last 3 opponents. and he even had a wildcard match, who can sometimes cause surprises..
Now I definately want him to win this, fully deserves it, and then gets a spot on the Premier League
and I think he has a definite chance, because he can get inside Mags head quite easily, Maguire often loses his head and starts banging his cue when things arent going his way or if it gets too tactical... if Mags doesnt play his own game, and gets in the "web" created by Peter, than I think Ebdon will frustrate him and will win..
Let´s see what happens tomorrow
