GJ wrote:Great break by robbo many would have crumbled after losing 2 in a row to 4-4

Not the WN1

Not losing 2 in the row But the way he lost them

If robbo does make the final here I work it out he would have played around 7 less matches than this time last year post Christmas.

So should be a lot fresher for Sheffield.

True he has the great strength of forgetting whats gone before.

All players are human its about how they deal with adversity.

My earlier comment is wrong it would be around 12 matches less I forgot ptc finals.

Remind me.

What's his century count now?

He could do with knocking in at least a couple in China, couldn't he? Going into the biggest tournament of the year needing 8 might be a big ask.

He will be fine for Sheffield unless its more serious than the Flu

If he gets it good if not its about going deep at Sheffield.

its a nice bonus but its not essential.

I think a fews days rest once back at Cambridge , then a few days practice pre Sheffield and he will be fine.

Great win for Peter, isn't it? But I saw that coming to be honest. Ebdon plays in the China Open like Allen plays in the World Open.

Good to see Yu Delu carrying on where he left off in the PTC finals.

Dott wins 5-4

Neil Robertson 5-4 Mark Williams

He doesn't need to win The Crucible. His life won't come to an end. He'll not lose his job, he'll still be able to pay his bills.

FFS, Wild. You know what I meant.

Yeah.

Next plays Ali Carter

I can see both drinking carrot juice the whole of the match.

Glad Luca won, at last a decent run in a tournament, will have Dotty next, but if he manages to play well he has proved he can cope well against the top players, his main problem has been letting good leads slip up like that UK match this season v Mags. Hoepfully he can beat Dotty

Robbo no tons this time, but if he has a decent run here could make at least a couple. Will have De lu next, an interesting match in prospect.

Murphy looks like had no problems at all in whitewashing Poomjaeng.

Higgins keep the good form going with a confortable win over Michael White.

And finally so pleased to see Jimmy giving his all to remain on tour definately has played better this season and the hard work has paid off. Unlike a certain Mr Davis who prefered to go to the jungle

Much though I like Steve Davis, I hope that bites him on the bottom.

The Nugget could learn a thing or two from Jimmy here.

No i don't centuries aren't important....id prefere if Neil forgets it because Flu wont hinder him but thinking about centuries will and it has already this season

Though I agree he shouldn't concentrate too much on the centuries to the detriment of anything else. He should only concentrate on getting the century once the frame is already won.


But I don't see why you're so dead set against anybody mentioning it on the forum. I'm sure Robertson wants to win both tournaments left in the season and get the ton of tons.
