TT and Delu doing their best now to throw away commanding positions. TT 4-2 up and clearing up colours to go 5-2 up and fluffs it

Delu 4-1 up and now pegged back to 4-4

i know Wild will come on with some argument about having to beat the players but this tonight is just another example of why i loathe the unfair teired qualifying system.

Going by bet365 schedule, it is apparently. It seems they changed the plans.

NO, he played on and reached a Masters final in 1997

He could then have chucked it in 2000 when he fell out of the top 16 and had to start qualifying for events

NO, he fought his way back on then went to make a Welsh Open final and a UK Championship Final

He could then have chucked it in 2008 when he fell out of the top 16, having achieved his long time goal to be in the top 16 aged 50

NO, he played on and aged almost 53 he beat the defending world champion to make the World Championship quarter finals

He could then have retired on a high after this 2010 world championship

NO, he yet again carried on because he loves the game, since then hes qualified for some tournaments as well as reaching the semis of a PTC

WHY SHOULD HE RETIRE ???

HE LOVES THE SPORT AND CONSTANTLY REINVENTS HIMSELF AND ACHIEVES STUFF AFTER HES BEEN WRITTEN OFF

I'm a bit worried that I've been agreeing with you too much recently.


Steve Davis.
