And this is why Holt has such a slim chance in this match. Bad, bad miss. That was 1-0 right there.

He's going to try winning. Good luck buddy.
Well he should because Selby is crap at protecting big leads in a match.

Careless Robbo. Very careless. If you're going to miss the blue, don't leave a free ball.
1-0 Holt.

How is Milkins playing? I'm stuck between the two matches ATM so i'm choosing the Robbo match.

Selby missed an easy red first frame and since then it's been the Milkman.
Cmon!

Well I turned over just for this frame, but what an escape from that snooker by Milkins. That was incredible.

Holt 2-0 up
At least he's avoided the whitewash...

Holty 2 up. Robbo has underperformed here the last few years. As much as I'd like to see Holt win, Robboi really should be mixing with the big guns in Sheffield. You want to really see him, Trump, Higgins, Ronnie and Selby in the mix at their best. Good for the tourney.

Though I predicted 10-3 had a sneaking suspicion Robbo might not come out playing too well. Doesn't seem to have been far in much since the Welsh. Still lots of time for him to warm up of course.

Tough stuff for the seeds so far. This has been solid stuff from Holt and it could have been very different if Robbo hadn't botched up that escape in the first frame.
3-0 Holt.

This has been a superb contribution from Holt. Total clearance and highest break of 140.

This is what Robbo should be doing as he usually does against his opponents.
Holt been just superb so far since winning that tight first frame on the colours.

I expected Robbo to hammer him, but now it seems like it'sthe other way around.

lol
It's still very early though in that match, Holt is known to choke at important times and I expect him to do just that at some point in this match and allow Robbo back in it.

Very important frame for Rob Milkins. If he steals, that's all four frames won.
Balls of steal to drop that blue in the middle dead weight.

Milkins wins all four frames this morning so far.
Selby really is crap at having big leads... oh Ronnie, why didn't you allow Selby to have them in that Masters and Worlds Finals?

I won't believe Holt can win this match even with a 5-0 or 6-0 lead, he's just bound to start choking at some point.

Holt taking on some aggressive shots and getting them. How the pack didn't open earlier from the pink I have no idea, Holt a bit unlucky with that.
I wouldn't say someone of Robbo's class needs this frame, but he can't take any positives at all from losing the first 4 frames. He's been outplayed.

Ronnie and Fu apart, I'm not feeling the quality yet. Anyone feel that way?

Just when you thought it doesn't get any worse than the BBC, you switch to Eurosport and...
"Well, Robertson must be feeling he plays a combination of Ronnie, Hendry, Alex Higgins and Jimmy White at the moment"

Robbo
After knocking a cracking long red, leaves the pink short of the pocket
