I kinda fell out of love with snooker during my Uni days, well i didnt really but just didnt have time to follow it properly plus it was back in dark ages so the BBC tournys were all i really knew of what was going on.

we always got live scoring to fall back on, and in relation to most of the games shown, live scoring is more entertaining <ok>

They usually follow the same pattern... Eurosport International or British Eurosport for Uk tend to show the higher players in the rankings or the most popular ones, whereas Eurosport 2 tends to show the reverse.

In tomorrow's case, I reckon Eurosport will show the Davis match, and in the other session will obviously show the Willimas one. I could be wrong about the Davis match though, but they usually follow the same pattern as I said.

Now I've got a first surprise. There aren't that many chinese photographers in the photographers area. In fact there are more videasts and guys with medium light cameras like those used to record streaming than photographers. Doesn't make the job any easier! They need more space than us, photographers and there isn't much space.

Not going to see any tonight, am going out. But good to see Steve Davis winning, even if it is only over a Wildcard. (Which aren't the guaranteed wins they used to be, of course.)

Was this televised? How did Zhu Yinghui play? Does he look one for the future? Was he overawed playing a legend?

@wild

There is a decent crowd for Steve Davis and Marco Fu especially considering that the tickets are VERY expensive for the Chinese wages and this is an early afternoon, on a working day. I will post a picture if I manage. The connection here is iffy.
However what is impressive is the media presence. I will also post a picture if I manage. And all tables are filmed, both on the floor (so tables 3 and 4 must be streamed although I have no idea where, but there are also guys filming them from the photographers area. There must be about 75 photographers/Journalists/videasts here around and it's wilcards matches on a Monday afternoon. You don't get that at the Crucible on the Final day and by quite a margin.
