I'm kind of hoping for a Ding vs Robertson match. That'd be something good to get home to.

I am having another insomnia attack, which come and go for me. Didn't sleep last night.
I don't know if I'll see the end of this match tonight. Sadly.
Seems a waste of good coverage not to watch as much as possible.

Agreed, although my guess for this evening is Bingham-Ding (big call, I know.)

It's certainly possible.
People still underrate Bingham as a player. A three time ranking winner, he was just in a tournament final on Sunday. Turning Robertson over certainly isn't impossible.
How tired will he be after travelling from China to Coventry in the last couple of days though, that's the question.

You predicting Bingham?
And more importantly, are you providing play-by-play for those of us not able to watch?

I'm on the fence, the travel / jet lag will be painful for Bingo. It wrecks your concentration.
I wish I could! However I'm hosting a conference for 400 delegates in Canary Wharf (eek!!)

Can't you tell them to wait for the snooker to be over?

I need to know what's going on.

Robertson might be defending Champion but he starts outsider in this Group. his form has been poor of late.

Bingo said he arrived yesterday, and woke up at 4 a.m today due to still being jetlagged...
But Hendry made a good point, out there in the arena you dont think about that and as a top player Bingo is used to this so it really shouldnt affect him, although it's not ideal preparation of course.

I think Robbo will win this one though, about time he started producing the goods again.

Will Robbo throw the cue ball in the air again and this time hit someone in the crowd?

Should be an interesting match this one, want to see what Robbo can bring after his recent matches.
Ding to follow.

I was actually being sarcastic, I think I've gone for the most obvious line-up given recent form.

Has Robbo ever given an explanation for why he lets himself slip into playing slow, and disrupting his own rhythm around the table?
I imagine it's a psychological thing, or a bad habit. Just curious.

He said recently in an interview he often over analysis things, seeing what can go wrong instead of just playing the shot, that's why he sometimes bogs himself down and so often ends up losing those matches.

Robbo in first but breaks down. Bingham counters with a 61 break. Robbo needs a snooker.

Why should he, though?
This isn't the Premier League, there's no reward for fast play. He's there to win, why should he be bothered how quick he is?

Sometimes playing when your Jet Lagged eases the pressure.
if you lose you have a excuse waiting and if you win your super human.
