Here's a pattern, three times Mavis has lost at the Crucible, the player who beat him went on to lose to Ronnie O'Sullivan (who incidentally went to win the title that year), Bingo in 2013, Carter in 2012 and MJW in 2008.

Indeed will wasley have the classic letdown performance and can dom keep playing well.


No Wasley will be like White and Jones were the previous 2 years, in the quarter-finals thats when his run may come to an end at the hands of Hawkins possibly.

That was a quality session from Dale, played very well. At one point I thought he might only lead 5-4 from 5-1 up but two great frames at the end there pleased for him, hope he wont bottle it tomorrow, Davis will come out going for it and Dale might try to protect his lead too much.

Would love a wasley dale second round! But yes, the winner will lose to barry in quarter.

You must be pretty happy at the moment. Dale won a title this season and is just 3 frames away from a Crucible win! Not bad for the Spaceman :hatoff:

Over the moon! Finally had a half decent draw at crucible though after drawing Ronnie, Trump, Trump last 3 years so was due a nicer match. Still tough though and had to play decent stuff for the lead.

<laugh>

It's not just that he's leading, he's playing great stuff and looked the much stronger player of the 2. You don't have to worry too much, Dom won't let this one slip. And he has a great chance of even reaching the quarter finals!

Dom is a class player and a real character, so I wish him all the best really, and yeah he won't bottle this match.

Against Wasley, well before those legends wildcards were anounced today I wanted him to reach the quarters as that would mean Jimmy would drop off the tour, but now he'll get a wildcard so :td: But I won't bother too much who wins that one, the young prospect who knocked Ding out or one of our best characters in the game.

The year Dominic got to the quarter-finals he defeated the Number 13 seed in the first round before defeating a youngster who's shocked the number 4 seed with a 10-9 win in the first round.

14 years later and Dominic you would believe is pretty much certain to defeat the Number 13 seed in the first round and for a quarter-final place will face a youngster who has shocked the number 4 seed with a 10-9 win in the first round.

That's unbelievable really is! There's a pattern for you. He won't be beating wasley 13-1 this time round that's for sure.

Anyone got any stats for that 13-1 thrashing of David Gray? Iccan't imagine how that would work! Did dale play awesome? Also how many other times has a 13-1 been achieved? I'm assuming a 13-0 definitely hasn't happened.

Williams won 13 frames in a row against Quinten Hann in 2003 but he only won 13-2.

For nostalgia, Dale's first round match against Ebdon was the first match I ever saw live.


Regarding the game against Gray. Of the two its fair to say Dominic was the better player. Three centuries and 4 50s as well. Gray's only break over 30 was an 82 in the frame he won. Dale led 7-1 overnight before completing the 13-1 win on Friday afternoon.. It was the first of the second round matches to finishing (beating Williams v Drew Henry which was due to finish first (on the Friday night)

Dominic outpointed Gray 1,125 - 288 in the match too..

Where the similarities end is that Dominic also played a qualifier in the quarter-finals, whereas this time if he does reach the last eight, such an eventuality cannot stand.

13-0's never happened, the only whitewash being Parrott winning 10-0 against Charlton in 1992 - 13-1s on the otherhand have occurred 4 times. Dale against Gray, Davis against Hallett, Foulds against Mountjoy (both in 1988 so the season before Doug won the UKs and Parrott against Knowles in 1991
