is this being televised in china ?

Yes, I think so. I'm here with the CCTV5 crew and if you look at my latest album additions you will see the telly trucks there.
Also 4 tables are filmed, so I suppose there must be streaming.

Probably not. Monique wouldn't know where to point her camera if that happened.

That's what you think

What chance does any human have against that? Mind games will never work!

I'm currently uploading the evening matches pictures with the much anticipated return of Long Wang. Now, I barely dare to reveal this but there is also a player going by the name of Long Yun playing tonight, but they don't play each other. Shame! they would have been a match.

how could Day and King lose?
but good to see Vafaei playing, do we know anything about him, visa problems?

About visas.
When I was in Shanghai I met Ja and Maruta there, two of the "girls from Ukraine" who attend a lot of tournaments (only Ja is from Ukraine BTW) and Ja was telling me that her first ever live snooker tournament had been the China Open years ago. As I was a bit nonplussed she told me that for her - an Ukrainian - it's a LOT easier to get a visa to China than one for the UK.
So Brits, before you rant at players and ask them to be banned because they "can't be bothered" … think and ask your self and your authorities why it's so difficult.

today - 25.9.2012 - pictures album is here http://s556.photobucket.com/albums/ss7/ ... xing/Day3/

look at this crowd! I didn't know that Mark Williams was such a hit with the young ladies

Eirian Williams is taking pictures to help and assess new Chinese referees - It's easier to explain them where they should stand for the best efficiency by showing pictures

Oli Brown playing Ding on the main table and giving him a hiding up to now. Going 2-0 already with a century. pictures coming soon.

We have a decider between Ding and Oli. Oli's safety has been excellent when I was in the arena.

more pictures added to http://s556.photobucket.com/albums/ss7/ ... xing/Day3/ Ding Juhui is in action currently in a decider with Oliver Brown



Oli 29-8 up but Ding is in. Difficult table though.

Also

Stuart Bingham 4-0 Zhou Hanwen
Niu Zhuang 1-4 Cui Ming
Li Yan 4-2 Hu Hao
Michael Holt 2-4 Jin Long
Li Yuan v Hossein Vafaei Ayouri
Cao Yupeng 4-1 Xu Xinjian
Wang Linhan v Guan Zhen
Ju Reti 0-4 Mark J Williams

Ding missed at 40. Oli just potted the pink for 36 but snookered himself big time on the two remaining reds. Third attempt coming now…

Oli gave 12 points penalty and left it. Ding missed it (wasn't easy), then Oli missed it as well (looked like a sitter) … Ding past the winning post now. TBH Oli had him. With more experience he'd win this.

Ding gave a press conference after his win … He didn't look that happy actually

Obviously talking to myself here …

Ricky Walden just beat Yu Delu 4-3. This was a very close game. Neither player was at their best but it's somehow understandable. According to Ricky, conditions are very tough, pockets very tight and table playing slow. It's extremely hot and humid outside and despite a very good airco, it feels to an extend inside as well.
