What a blue it was that Robbo missed in the decider though,it was the most easiest of blues and he missed by a country mile!,in fact it was even easier than the famous blue that good old Willie Thorne missed way back in 1985 at the UK CHAMPIONSHIP against Steve Davis.
Noteably the blue ball actualy gets missed more often than the other colours.
Well done Maflin,great stuff!.
think the blues missed more than other colours and the middle pockets are effectively buckets so players assume theyll pot the blue, so are more focused on doing stuff with the white.

Blue was on black spot though and he had it thin, wasn't as easy as Hendry fan is making out.

Well i,ll have to have another look at that very blue which Robbo missed,at first glance it looked easy to me.
I might have missed it but Robbo should have got it!.

Yeah Robbo should've got it but it was into a blind pocket so even though it was on black spot they're never a gimmie when cutting back.

A disaster of a safety from Lisowski lets Alan in to snatch the 4th frame on the black to go 3-1 up!.

Talking of missed blues,Alan misses a fairly easy mid range blue to the right black pocket but it then ends up goin in the middle pocket
,the fluke did,nt do him any good though as he ended up losing the frame.

Alan will be really hissed off,he had a good few chances to get over the line,had a fairly easy long yellow which he fluffed in the 4th frame,messed up 2,3 safetys towards the end,he just could,nt get over the line.
How many times have we seen players over the years losin a match they never should have!.
Credit to Jack though!.

1-0 Kyren. And Selby's not struggling like some of the other top players were yesterday.

I knew Kyren wouldn't be scared of the new conditions, TV cameras and big crowds. He's mustard.

Unlucky that Kyren missed the blue but got position, but he really didn't get much of a chance after that.
3-1 Selby
