Re: Bank of Beijing China Open Quarter Final Discussion!

Conflicted who I'd want to win in that semi. If Robbo won, it'd be a chance for Selby to get a win over Robbo, which he hasn't done since that Masters final. If Carter won, well he's due a win, and it gives Selby a chance to get in his head before Sheffield.

Its all about circumstances , robbo was lacking confidence coming in to this week so an early exit would have damaged his confidence levels.

Its his first semi since the UK so he can't be burnout for Sheffield.

Rubbish

Winning Matches when hes feeling rubbish is confidence boosting.

When the camera showed Selby's gripping hand while on the shot, you could see his gripping hand shaking like mad.
I knew he moves his head from left to right when down on the shot, but it seems his whole body is shaking...
Wonder if its nerves or a physical condition he has? Surprised he can pot a ball like that.

Basically you're happy Dotty lost because that improves his chances of suceding at the World qualifiers and Worlds itself if he reaches that far, right? rofl

All of those would be good finals. If it was up to me, I would probably pick Ding vs Robbo.


If it was up to me I'd pick Dunn v Carter :-D

Yes definately agree GJ.

He's match sharp now, won tight matches and those are the ones that improve your confidence the most if you win them.

For me he is 2nd favourite for the Crucible, behind only... :-D

i think this years World Championship is the most closed for best part of 20 years only Ronnie, Robertson and Selby are in with a shout because only Robertson and Selby can stop Ronnie

I would add Trump to that list because if he starts well against Ronnie he would be very dangerous, but both would have to reach the Final.

But I agree, those 2 are the most dangerous for Ronnie.

It doesn't work that way. Ronnie might lose to Fu in the quarters and then Ding surely has a better chance than Selby to win the title for example.
