lol hendry and williams playing some of the *worst* snooker i have ever seen
― Man!! (Man!!) (country matters), Thursday, 8 October 2009 13:25 (fourteen years ago) link
was at o'sullivan v burnett on tuesday, and it was pretty poor. there seems to be a lot of wild inconsistency in playing at this year's grand prix. o'sullivan v higgins was pretty epic tho, and i'm gutted i had a ticket but couldn't go.
also otm re: hendry v williams

Higgins vs Robertson is a great match. Higgins had 100% pot success in the first four frames yet went in 2-2 at the interval. Robertson hit three centuries and led 5-3. Higgins did the old Mr Resilient and took it to a decider.
Higgins was clearing up to take it and knocks in a quality last red but accidentally hit the pink in. 7 points in it, on the yellow, nerves jangling everywhere.

wow, that was hella drama. hoping for Ding v Robertson in the final.

Looks like you're going to get your wish - Mark can't string enough points together.
Higgins - Robertson was awesome. No matter how great their respective techniques, its wonderful to see it coming down to those scraps of luck that anyone can randomly make the most of - it simply came down to Higgins making the last mistake. Not that it doesn't happen in other sports but snooker really zones in on this aspect particularly well.

wow @ the series of long pots Ding played to go 5-1 up against Williams. Esp that Brown - the complaint that most snooker players have sub-zero personalities evaporates as soon as you see some of those.

dennis taylor, looking at the breakdown of neil robertson's 127 break: "it's very unusual to see all the colours in a century break! really went round the table, didn't he?"
n.b. 3 of those colours were potted in the final clearance

ho-ho. i got watching this (semi, not quarter-f, surely) only when it was 6:2 already - and was rather pissed off to see such a sad score. it's taken a few great turns since.

― dyaaaow (acoleuthic), Sunday, 13 December 2009 23:31 (fourteen years ago) link
I wouldn't be surprised if John pulls a few frames back, but the way Ding just pinched those frames must be hurting him.
