World Snooker Championship

[Rita_Poon]

Hendry doing comms on a Higgins match a few weeks ago said "Every shot is a pint of blood".

That's how this feels for Williams. There's so much jeopardy on every pot, and watching him wince as they either squeak in or hover over the drop.

Come on Mark

Got that closer to the middle pocket for heavens sakes!

Mark 'Low on the blue' Williams.

 

[Rita_Poon]

It's every time he gets to frame ball. It's every 'kin time!

I think we are looking at the first Chinese Snooker World Champion here.

 

[Rita_Poon]

5-10% short on every shot. Unexplainable.

I'm a Williams fan. But having said that I wouldn't mind a Zhao win. I'd just like it to be a lot closer. Hopefully Williams wins the next session again. If we get a last session and there's 4/3 frame in it you never know. The nerves might set in for Zhao.

However, Williams seems to be far too inconsistent. Whilst his potting was ok, his positional play really let him down yesterday evening. He really should have won an extra frame or two

Could be an early finish if the form in this first frame continues.

This WC tournament has had some quite incredible high quality snooker, some epic matches. This final though has been dog-dour!

 

[Rita_Poon]

Didn't realise he's come through qualifiers starting on April 11th was it to get to here.

I'm not sure the prize money is enough...

 

[Rita_Poon]

Yeah it's done this it appears, Williams getting 3 or 4 chances in these lacklustre frames and failing every time. For Zhao it's been shooting fish in a barrel.

 

[Rita_Poon]

oh Mark. F F S !

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

4 left this session.
4 to win.
Hope BBC have a decent film lined up

How many outrageous flukes can you suffer?
