Back to business as usual for Hawkins after his once in a lifetime performance against Ronnie at the Crucible.


lol <laugh>

He did one similar against Robbo the year before didn't he when he beat him 13-12 and Robbo couldn't have played much better himself.

Back to business as you say... pmsl

Yeah, that's right.

Today's loss and the choke against Bond from 5-0 up is the real Barry Hawkins.

Craigie lost position when he was 50-11 ahead, missed a tricky Red leaving a half-chance to Robbo, who reduced at 33-50 when he misjudged a pot on a red he finally missed. Left everything for Craigie who made it 5-3. Only one frame away from a big shock in these qualifiers.

I also noticed that Craigie can use his left hand too, at least on some short distance shots.

Sam was really unlucky here as he split the reds well after potting the black, but one of them ran on the bottom of the table and finally fell into the green pocket! Fortunately he didn't leave anything to Robertson and a safety battle is on now.

edit: Robbo in.

Pure drama! Craigie put a lot of backspin and the cue ball jumped over the pink (which was placed into the D). The foul gives hope to Robbo while Craigie was ready to kill the frame, after potting all the remaining reds...

He'll never forget that miscue if he ends up losing this match.


Robertson wins the frame and he's still "alive" in the match (4-5). I agree that the miscue he made will hunt Craigie until the end of the match, although he showed that he has guts, with the green he potted a little earlier.

He didnt follow it up with the brown though.
