6-2 definately recoverable, 7-1 I can't see Wasley winning the match.

If McManus doesn't win this frame, match might have been right.

I don't buy this bunny theory. The person who wins the match is The threat to Ronnie. The rest is supposition.

Unlucky for Ken because this break started from a fluke but McManus was overall just the better player.

So by that logic Wasley is as much of a threat to Dom than Ding is right?
Fu on paper is tougher than Murphy, his record against Ronnie speaks for itself.

Alan was more solid overall and made far heavier breaks in the early and middle parts of the match.

Barring snookers, it'll be 7-1 Dom. Wasley could doing a David Gray at the moment.

Wasley should just try to make the scoreline more respectable tomorrow. Match over.

That would be unbelievable if it happened again.
Doubt it to be honest, Wasley will make things a bit interesting winning a few frames but I now cant see him winning this match.

If he wins the second session 5:3 he's still having a small chance. Anything above would be brillant but unlikely of course.

Records won't win matches at this years Worlds. If history was the perfect predictor of the future, we'd all be very rich. Records are there to be made or broken. Yeah, some players have an issue with other players, e.g. Ding v. Ronnie. Who's the bigger threat to Ronnie, Wasley or Ding? Everyone (except me) said Perry would be walkover for Ronnie because of the past when Perry wilted. I didn't see Joe wilt this match. Only a couple of centuries put him out. Know what I mean?

Just seen Alan's route to the quarters and it's a real blast from the past.
Paul Davison, Peter Lines, Mark Williams, John Higgins and now Ken Doherty.

Well ignoring records, Fu is a better all round player, who's capable of matching Ronnie safety wise, yet can still score heavily enough to be a threat.
Ronnie can run rings around Shaun tactically, plus Murphy goes for a lot, and when one inevitably doesn't go in, it leaves the balls there for Ronnie.

But they were raving
I can't believe how well Dom is playing so far, he only dropped 6 frames so far!

He's fighting a truck driver or something, isn't he?
It's probably a step up from his usual calibre of opponent, I suppose.

Lot of folk saying Dom will be out next round. I don't see it that way. No-one predicted Hawkins to be a finalist and no-one predicted Carter either. So if Doms in good nick, he could go a good run IMO.
