At least that's not a BBC stage match, could you imagine the commentry.

Have Davis and Davis or White and White or Lines and Lines or for that ever played each other on a TV match?


Sometimes the players are called by their first names instead. In this case, Kyren and Gary.

"This will be the worst, longest retirement in history. It will go on forever."


Well Steve if you're mate hadn't thrown you the wildcard you wouldn't be hanging around. You're being had mate, you sell the tickets and you don't even get paid.

Says he is in pain and did not enjoy any of it as he cannot get down on his shots properly.

So I wouldnt be surprised if he retires from this years uk.
Cant say I blame him.


Hope he wins the tournament on one leg.

If it was broken he wouldn't even be able to walk, nevermind play a competitive match.

But he's in pain no doubt, and I know from previous experience a sore ankle takes quite a bit of time to recover, at the very least a week before you can do your normal routines and a month or so before you can be at 100%.

nobody expects him to be at 100% but wouldn't it be throwing a challange to the rest of the field "beat the cripple if you can"

Hendry won the Worlds when he hurt his arm or whatever it was so no reason for Ronnie not to win this UK <laugh>
