He knows how to judge cannons, how to play top quality safety, how to pot balls, he's got the lot and appears to have a mature head for his age with his shot selections. Currently 2-1 up on Dunn but Dunn had a few things go for him in the 3rd frame. I think Yuelong will win this match.

as soon as sonny speaks things went tits up for Zhou Yuelong.

Kyren should think Last 32, Last 16 not Last 64 its about making hay while the sun shines with so many top players not entering its opportunity screwed up.


Just saying if you want to make a good start moneywise, Australia not the place to do it. Wuxi was probably better. Anyway, there are so events there's plenty of opportunities to get on a run and get some money.

Doubt the money list worries will come for most pros until much nearer the end of the season anyway.

Too much pressure if they think like that and i have no doubt they do think like that plenty of tournaments etc etc BUT Just look at Steve Davis he went in to the Jungle fairly comfortable then he only managed 2 wins in major rankers after that and the pressure was building.

get a brilliant start to the season then it relieves the pressure at the death.

Ha yeah. Dunn had a fluke in the 4th and made 60 odd then I watched Andy Murray then went back and Dunn was 3-2 up and scoring in the next. He had a miscue on a black off the spot and Yuelong took on a risky one to middle which he should have played safe off and it cost him 4-2 then Dunn won the last.

Just thinking about Dunn's miscue, he does get a lot of miscues for a professional player and you can see why with how he hits the ball. It's very billiardsy, he dips the cue through the ball so if the timing isn't exactly right he can miscue, and also hitting the ball that way means he's prone to touches of unwanted side causing the odd missed close range pot played pocket weight.

Anyway, Yuelong started off very well, a bit of run helped Dunn to 2-2 and he took control from there but Yuelong is clearly a very promising young player.

As a young Pro you will have inconsistencies it happened to them all where you think how can he lose that from there etc etc.

I think he took it badly by conceding without a fight in the 7th. i hope he wont be too hard on himself and realize Mike Dunn is a Good steady pro and he learns from it and come back better in his next match probably in the Asian Tour Event mid June.

Hopefully Luca fans will have their first win today. Would be a little concerning for Luca fans if Luca can't beat Wells, don't want another season opening with a run of losses!

Lee Walker has played Rory McLeod twice before losing both matches. Last time in 2007 in a Masters Qualifying Event last 64 where Rory won 4-1 and before that in the Last 80 of the Malta cup in 2005 and on that occasion Rory won 5-0.

Yes, but I am pleased with some of Luca's tactical play at the end of that frame. Well done Luca. :-)

I Think Match of the Round is Scott Donaldson v Robbie Williams it could even be described as a grudge match in many ways Robbie run to the Crucible meant Scott 2 year run that had him finished in 65th spot was for nothing as he fell out of the top 64 and lost all his ranking points
