talks big but rarely backs it up with tournament wins. like judd

he has 3 Ranking event trophy's in his cabinet including the UK Title.

yup he hardly backs it up

wuxi and uk champ. Which is the third trophy??

He's still China Open champ.

To be fair it must of been hard for him to get up for today's match considering he'd played his "cup final" the round before

Worrying times as a robbo fan

Last 4 proper events have been poor

Masters - quarters
Germany - last 32
Wales - last 32
world open - last 16

So I think his confidence levels are dropping and he needs to stop the rot.

On the other hand last season he was sky high in confidence and going deep in all but Wales pre the worlds and that didn't help come Sheffield.

Probably best if he does well in the PTC Grands. Winning China didn't really help him last year, although that was supposedly because he didn't practise much after that win.

Looks like Robbo has a small dip in form rather than a major loss of form ...

Bet Rob Milkins is awaiting the Mark Allen / Ricky Walden nervously, won't qualify as a seed for the Crucible if Allen wins, can't get back past Allen as he didn't make the PTC finals.

Yes, and he will make his usual first round exit at the World Championship.

Right snooker time. Two great TV/stream matches.

Ding v Smurph the TV match but I've got Higgins v Trump up on Bet365.

C'mon john!! Ah to have so much snooker on. Fantastic!

I know people go on about Robbo and Judd's long potting, but Smurph is a ridiculous long potter as well.

Judd opens with a ton. Clearly not going to play like he did yesterday.

When talking about under achievers Murphy must be high on that list.......winning the 2005 World Championship sorts of hides how poor hes been over the years with the undoubted talent he has.

I dunno. I think I could manage to play like that consistently.

Mark Allen 1-0 Ricky Walden
John Higgins 0-1 Judd Trump
Thepchaiya Un-Nooh 0-1 Graeme Dott
Shaun Murphy 1-0 Ding Junhui

lol

Ding looking a bit careless today.

Judd goes 2-0 up on John Higgins

Wild / skull

Can robbo lose top spot in rankings this week ?

Matts list and ws list vary abit

Cheers

This week? No. If Ding won the event, he'd still be about 500 points behind, and Robbo's too far ahead of Selby for him to catch up, even if Selby won both this and the PTC Grands and Robbo lost his opening match there.

Not looking good for Higgins. Judd goes 3-0 up now.

Max alert Un-Nooh. Already on 72...

1-1. Eventually.

Mark Allen 2-0 Ricky Walden
John Higgins 0-4 Judd Trump
Thepchaiya Un-Nooh 2-1 Graeme Dott
Shaun Murphy 1-1 Ding Junhui

134 from un-nooh

think he messed up with the pink

traumatic

Mark Allen 2-1 Ricky Walden

Thepchaiya Un-Nooh 2-2 Graeme Dott
Shaun Murphy 2-1 Ding Junhui

Smurph hasn't won the frame yet...

Smurph leaves Ding needing more snookers again.

I'm pretty sure some of those escapes from Murphy were intentionally done to avoid any possibility of a free ball.
