I'm pretty sure it has something to do with practice. He was going on about not getting enough solo practice last season, and it can't be a coincidence that he played his best at the beginning of his season both in 2012/3 and this season.

when hendry was doing Solo practice Higgins said he should practice more with players and get competative match practice now as an excuse he wants solo practice.

Isn't Fu China's No 2?

that's like calling Stephen Maguire Englands no 3

Ok, I get it. I still consider Hong Kong a part of China.

Rod Lawler Quickly levels the score at 3-3

At this rate they'll probably finish after midnight in China.

Fergal O'Brien 4-3 Rod Lawler

Fergal O'Brien 4-4 Rod Lawler

I see Dotty beat Kyren who beat Maguire. No shame in losing to Dotty and also good to see Dotty in form again.

So Best of 3 for Lawler and O Brien.

About time they get in the seniors lol

Graeme is a class player and he was a great competitive.


i think hes lost that competitive nature that got him a World Title in favour of a free flowing game he just needs to get the right balance before its too late.

I'm guessing ROS v Wenbo will be on Eurosport with Robbo v Un-Nooh relegated to the streams. Will keep an eye on the Robbo game, as apparently there's dodgy betting patterns again.

Centuries for O'Sullivan and Robertson in the opening frame

Source for these allegations .....

Numbers are on Betfair somewhere. Something like ten times what's been put on other matches. I'm sceptical that it means there's deffo dodgy activity, but good to keep an eye on the match.

Ok fair enough

Robbo opens with back to back centuries. Especially at the yellow to keep the break going.

How many is that for season ?

37 I think. 24 behind the record.

Cheers skull

Form doesn't always equate to tournament wins but all a player can do is keep up a high level of play and tournament wins will come their way.

Neil Robertson is consistently Good this season.
