I know but I expected the donkey doo from Hamiton today so maybe it really is his week, he should at least have the self confidence now.

A Higgins/Williams v Selby final would be tasty.
I think Williams would beat Higgins should they meet, John is still a man playing himself into form.

I think the 3 matches will be close. Williams will edge Stevens with ease.
Matthew would be too happy being in the top-16, thus seeded in UK and Masters that will probably get drunk tonight...Odd couple that is...If it wasnt for Williams, Stevens would have been a World Champions and twice a UK Champion...

I doubt Williams will beat Higgins.
I would like to see a Robertson - Selby final, it's time they meet in an important match.

I know but I still don't think Williams will beat him, I learned from the past. Robertson has a MUCH better chance in my opinion.

The Essex CHAVS showing their true colours today; Bingham on twitter, and O'Sullivan as usual with his pathetic unsportsmanlike conduct.
The next time O'Sullivan is on a 147 attempt, the opponent should smash the remaining balls all around the table, and then set them up for the next frame.
O'Sullivan you are nothing but an illiterate, attention seeking, piece of garbage.

On the subject, I saw that Higgins vs Bingham match over the Ronnie match, which maybe was a mistake. How did Hamilton play? Did Ronnie implode, or was Hamilton good value for the win?

It's really been tough match-play from Higgins this week. And against Davis in particular, he was missing shots all over the place. But that's the sign of a top player. When you can play poorly, and still get across the line.
How has Robertson played anybody? His form has been poor since becoming a daddy. It's about time he had a performance.

And it must be said, what a massive result for Matthew Stevens. Even if he wasn't at his best, that's a hell of a scoreline over a player of the class of Gould.

Hamilton was quite strong today. Ronnie didn't miss much but everytime he did he was punished severely.
Hamilton didn't look like missing when he was in.

Could it be Hamilton's week? Shanghai traditionally has a qualifier winner. Though that tradition came about when it was the first tournament of the year, and the qualifiers had played more then the top-16. Not the case now with the Ozzie Masters, the PTCs and the foreign exhibition events in July. The top players have had time to warm up now.

He conceded the last frame whilst Hamilton was at the table, and in pursuit of another century.
Funny thing is that Quentin Hann tried doing the same to Ronald in the UK one year and Ronald wouldn't allow it, but in the end Hann just smashed the balls everywhere so Ronald couldn't continue.
