John Higgins vs Mark Selby/ Yan Bingtao


How does Judd always manage to get to the last couple of games in these tournaments without ever facing a decent seed?

He doesn’t. Thanks for asking.


Nah, you're right, I'm exaggerating, it was only a couple of tournaments recently. I guess my consternation in those events were magnified. The cards are falling nicely for him again though in this tournament, you have to admit that is definitely one form of luck.

It’s a fair point, though they’re falling equally well for Ronnie. Compared to say Selby/Yan, Higgins/Ding,

Except it’s building to something you’ll like.

Twin Peaks is unpredictable though.

Exactly, last 16 should, theoretically, be another last 16 player. But Ding barely ever gets a clear run recently whereas some others are getting more. As they say, some days the balls fall right, some days they fall awkward.

Seems to work for him.

Yan is the Chinese version of Selby. All he has to do is scoring heavier, And if he does he can have a very successful career just as his English counterpart.

That an exciting new talent emerged in this tournament, a 17 year old English player no-one's really heard of yet getting to the last 16...


... With an AST of 30+ secs :chuckle:

Indeed. Its starting to become somewhat repetitive now.

How?

It would only be the 3rd time this year should it happen. Hardly repetitive.
