Remember that year it was Selby vs Selty?

Mark Davis has had a really poor season its almost as if the last 3 years was nothing but a dream

Been watching his match...he is a pretty good potter, guess I never paid attention. His antics kinda turn me off. But he seems reserved for now.

Matthew Stevens comfortably through and likely to be playing Kyren Wilson next which is a shame as normally I would support him.
Plus I feel Kyren would add something to the main tourney and could have a good run.

sunday girl

Agree 100 % when I first watched snooker matthew was my first fav , but I love kyrens style of play and all round game and hes now 2nd favourite player on tour

Where is Smart to shout for ZHANGER, like he did last year?

By the way, Zhang is on a maxi attempt right now.

edit: Maxi attempt for Un-Nooh too, who missed on 64 on the previous frame.

no idea where he is .....

Good win for the mouse if he closes it out

Jack moves 9-5 up

Some cracking matches for tomorrow and Wednesday

McGill v Un-nooh
Lisowski v Gilbert


to name 2

Mitchell Mann levels with Selt.

Edit: Ken blowing it.

Smart is here btw: http://snookerydookery.freeforums.net/

Talking of Smart, he'll be happy with the Zhang Anda scoreline.

It seems that only a few of last year's qualifiers will have a chance to reach the Crucible this April.

There are two 3rd round matches between those who are left (McManus v Jimmy Robertson, Milkins v Maflin), while there are three more already in the 2nd, with Robertson beating Carrington and McGill, Zhang with a good chance to beat Steadman and Mavis respectively.

As for the Stevens v K. Wilson clash, if it was to take place one year before, nobody would have said that Kyren is the favourite. Many things have changed since then, but I still give Stevens a good chance to win.

I hope Yuelong beats him in final round as much as I like zhanger hes fodder at the crucible.

Baird despatches the grumpy choker

Huge frame in selt match Mann needed snookers he only went and got them and now leads 7-6

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Poomjaeng beats Robin Hull 10-5.
Also, by the same 10-5 score, Zhang Anda has eliminated Mark Davis! That's an outstanding result for the Chinese player!

Jack through 10-5

Should be a free flowing match v Gilbert

Luca pegged back to 8-8

Un-Nooh finishes the job against Paul Davison, who gave a good battle (10-7).

Lisowski also puts an end to McLeod's hopes with 10-5.

Doherty stopped the rot by winning a scrappy frame against Vafaei (9-6) and Highfield levelled Brecel (8-8).

Brecel 8-10 Highfield

Highfield a young player so fair play to him faces baird for a place at the crucible.

Do you only like really slow players?

yes, he suffers from exhaustion due to the travelling he had to do the last months. He got some kind of panic attack/hyperventilation issue when he was on a plane. He went to see the doctor who said it would be best for him to rest for a couple of weeks. Hard to do so obviously with the WC Qualies around. Luca himself said he has no pressure now, expecting to lose and already satisfied with the season he had.

Still, I would like to see him qualify, but not holding out much hope.

Thanks. That is a shame, he would probably have qualified.

Robbo and Kyren are not slow but if a tricky situation comes up their smart enough to study all options

McGill making a meal of this close it out ants
