Angles was in one of the first matches I ever saw live. He knocked Hendry out of the 2006 Masters.

(I had attended The Masters a couple of days previous to that, so not my first.)

Still, that was 12 years ago. And hardly early in his career.

I know! 2015. Amazing really. I was in LA for a music festival and missed the whole last 5 days. I did watch the final when I got back. Ding shoulda had him!

I watched half of it in the pub. Felt bad since. Should've given it more attention.

Didn't Ding play Mark Williams that year? Two players I like.

He reached the semis in 2016, when he lost to Ding.

But yes, since then he's had a bit of a downfall.

Ridiculous that it's a 1000 point jump between winning today and losing

Wouldnt be surprised if Selby lost this match v Guodong.

He looks very beatable this season, even in the earlier rounds of the IC which he won, he looked vulnerable against Tom Ford and MJW. His only consistent performances this season came in that semi of the IC v Gould and in the Final v Allen.

Apart from that hes not really had an impact this season. I guess it could only go downhill after winning 4 rankers + a minor one the season before.

Don't know where the hell Graemes head was in that second frame. On 40, runs out of position and instead of a good safety he goes for crazy red into middle, misses and opens all the reds up.Sighsand now good safety from Hawkins and he's in in the third frame. Sighs again.

Of course he is. Dott has a reputation to maintain.

I Think its escalating with Graeme No longer he plays the game on the table its all about not wanting to be seen as negative and its costing him a lot of matches.

Sorry but your all wrong there. He just see the game as being more attack minded these days and plays accordingly. At the end of the day its his choice.

but its costing him a lot of money mate no getting away from that

if that style was bringing him titles even finals it would be different but its clearly not its been 2 years since hes reached a quarter final.
