Betfred World Championship Qualifying Rd 2 (April 10th-11th)

Hopefully Baird can close it out in the next round. Would like to see Gilbert win too as he could cause some damage at the Crucible

I would like to see Un-Nooh make it to the Crucible.

He plays a bright, attacking game and on his day can be a joy to watch.

Ding finishes his match with a century.

Zhou looking capable to finish the job against O'Brien easily.

Jamie Clarke, on the other hand, has closed the gap against Xiao. I don't think that I have ever watched this youngster playing, is he so good? Of course, this season's Xiao is not a big threat for anyone, but the young guy is showing some potential.

A so called expert snooker tipster tipped O'donnell to beat Kyren today



2 tons in a row for kyren in frame 9 and 10

It seems that Selt and Mann have returned on Ding's match table. It would be nice if they could stream the end of this one too, but I don't have hope, to be honest.

Meanwhile, Ryan Day is in real trouble there, as Alfie Burden has taken a 8-5 lead.

Zhou Yuelong just gone 9 - 3

Lawler, Rory and now Fergal close to going, the slower guys not having much luck.

Edit: Ebdon is 6-2 down as well.

Hope Cao beats Ali

That's a good one. It was 4-2 after the first session. They finished 6 frames of the 9
Greene needs to reach the Crucible to stay on tour. Cao Yupeng also needs some wins, has to replicate his run to the last 16 four years ago to get into the top 64.
Morris, Steadman and Peter Lines are those who lost in this round and are off the tour.

Has Hamilton done enough to stay on the tour yet?

Yeah fully agree, but he has a very toough match to qualify against McGill. I like both, but I too hope Thep can do it.

Both would be good additions to crucible so win win for me

Kyren 1 away at 9-4

Looks kind of like Dennis Taylor on that pic.


But yes, 7th from the ET order of merit qualifiers, so almost certain to get another 2 years.

Yeah, it has the makings of a good match. Not sure if Un-Nooh has the consistency to win it. But I hope he can.

McGill not had the best season, I think that could go either way.


Yupeng on the ascendancy great chance to make things all square.

All of you who want Cao to win, you have in mind the possibility of a rematch with Allen.

Decider Alert!

Mann v Selt

Edit: Apparently there has only been one 50+ break in the Greene v Ebdon match.

It was wishful thinking, from his heart rather than his head or the form book. He's good mates with MoD, as he calls him. I think he won one of the early Snookerbacker classic tournaments and helped him find a sponsor.

Day shows some bottle and forces a decider form 9-5 down.

Selt wasn't Mann enough to withhold the pressure created by his inexperienced opponent!

See ya Selt, and make sure your ass doesn't hit the door on the way out!

MITCHELL MANN

Selt

It seems having a 9-5 lead was too much of a Burden for Alfie

Ali through with a fist pump.

so far there has been 12 deciders in the championship that is a high number in only two best of 19 frame rounds

Come on Ebdon
