Gone for the Aussie Neil Robertson e/w @ 14/1. The Aussies are brilliant at every sport they can be arsed to enter. Plus his first round 10-4 win v Nigel Bond shows great promise

Steve Davis, currently battling back to 8-6 against Stuart Bingham after being 8-3 down, the comeback is on!

Much of this game may so far have been attritional but the tension in the arena really is something else, you can't write drama like this.

Unlucky for Steve, some vintage Davis in that comeback shame he couldn't sustain it but was a thrilling climax.

was a thrilling climax.

I'm sure it was...!

Ding v Fu on Table 1 now in the battle of the orient... who will takeaway the spoils?

c mon ding

 

[crodonilson]

Ding 9 - 9 Fu

I said this would be tie of the round and it has turned into one of the classic all time Crucible ties. There doesn't deserve to be a loser in a game this good, the tension is unbearable and that's just watching at home.

 

[Sajerz]

yey next round

2nd Round Draw:

John Higgins (Sco) v Ryan Day (Wal)

Ding Junhui (Chn) v Stephen Hendry (Sco)

O'Sullivan/Liu v Mark Williams (Wal)

Joe Swail (NI) v Liang

Shaun Murphy (Eng) v Ali Carter (Eng)

Mark King (Eng) v Peter Ebdon (Eng)

Neil Robertson (Aus) v Maguire/Hamilton

Stuart Bingham (Eng) v Joe Perry (Eng)

Some excellent 2nd round ties in there, the tournament is really hotting up now, I've put the ties of the round in bold.

 

[John Boy]

The O'Sullivan match is still close, and Robertson is on his way out against Maguire

I can't understand why BBC2 has stopped live coverage so early?

Robertson has fallen apart! Very unlike him.
