Finally we have a Chinese version of Peter Ebdon; Cao Yupeng!
https://www.google.fi/search?q=photos+s ... 3234326328 Well there are at least a few other Chinese players like that also. Or can the good old Peter ever even can be replaced? Possesing all sorts of angle knowledges but really badly lacking that fluency. Even when everyone still knows he do have some natural talent also...
I could see that were that element that if and when Peter can punish Anthony McGill he has a great chances to win the match. Even I need to admit I couldn´t quite see it, given Anthony´s superb playing rhytm and fluency. It was that Peter could do it, and can do it, but not much that likely. But hey, that´s quite exactly the beauty of the sport. Peter must know that those are just those little baby steps in order to get back to where he perhaps belongs. This is a bit of a Mickey Mouse tournament to be honest. Giving the date and everything. But any win is a baby step towards the correct direction.
I just possibly couldn't see how Stephen Maguire could lose against Akbar.. And he didn´t. Even when it is strange given that everyone knows that Akbar can win a few frames against Stephen, so why not 4 then when 1 or 2 was almost a given? But the problem on Akbar´s game is that it is too risky to last throughout the whole match. The nerves plays a some part of it, also. Stephen the kind of lad who doesn´t even necessarily enjoy it at all but he just get himself going to bounce back.
I have been thinking what does the good old Wild looking like these days
? As we know how many others are looking like. Having that knowledge would sort a lots of things regarding of those saucy pictures everyone are posting. But I don´t wan´t to be a party pooper or forcing it by any way.
