Probably won't catch the early session as I'll en route to Sheffield. GL Marco, make sure Neil is the only Robertson in the second round.

Yes me too
You can read my thoughts on the incredible Selby match on the 18th April page, but yeah I'll watch them all tomorrow, in fact for these next few days as well.

Morning folks
After a dramatic day yesterday, hopefully more to come today.
Thought SF might have already been around here... my guess is he has tickets for this morning's session.

Today theres 4 Matches coming to an end and all 4 matches are nicely poised.
The only match that could be a runaway is John Higgins leading Milkins 6-3 but you would expect the other 3 to be close.

I couldn't believe my eyes when Milkins missed that sitter of a pink yesterday to only trail 5-4
Higgins was definately under the cosh having been leading 5-1... Milkins basically threw away the match there.

Milkins is capable of taking a 3-1 lead over Higgins and if that happens its 7-6 at the interval but he has to do that you feel 2-2 is not good enough

Any casual watcher tuning in this morning must think Selt is one of the best players in the world, since he's playing in the World Championships.

Despite scoreboard problems that delayed the start of the second session between Marco Fu and Robertson they are 2 frames ahead the other table already

A dramatic and a suprisingly tight result yes, but I see Selby still being as good break-builder as it just gets. I would certainly rate him as a big favourite to win this again, to defend his title. Re-match against O´Sullivan wouldn´t be bad at all. I would say Mark was a very unlucky yesterday. Stating that, there were and are some problems in Selby´s safety-game. But no-one is perfect, and his break-building certainly makes that up. When he gets in with a few loose there red he is always a very much threating to make a big break.
Interesting! Stephen Hendry seems to be a Chinese 8-ball player these days, but we do Mark Selby now! Kurt Maflin played well too, it was a great match to watch. I was a bit tired today when woke up..
