Mark Selby secured a place in the quarter finals with a 13-9
win over Ali Carter. It did take Selby a while to get over the line as he lead
12-7 but the early sessions in this were quality as both players upped their
game much more since the first round. I feel that if things go right Selby can
win this world title
Ronnie O Sullivan won his match with Joe Perry 13-11 with
back to back centuries but it was not ever as easy as that as Ronnie had never
led in this match loosing the first session 5-3 and the second session 9-7 also
being down 11-9 in the third mini session. Ronnie did not seem to be his best
but Joe Perry did not whittle when others might have. This in my opinion will
be one of the matches that makes Ronnie O Sullivan a champion. In my opinion
Ronnie has not done enough to be favourite that honour should go to Mark Selby
or Neil Robertson
Barry Hawkins Defeated Ricky Walden 13-11 in his last 16
match but no one had any control of this particular match. Going into the final
session it was 9-7 but Walden did bring it back to 10-10 and 11-11 before
Hawkins took control of this match. Ricky Walden must be disappointed as to
loose such a big lead in the early sessions. Hawkins has a chance but only if
he can get his act together
Ken Doherty never really had a chance in this match against
Alan Mc Manus as the first session was very close with Doherty loosing 4-3 they
did not play the final frame as the game was so slow.. Doherty could not get a
single frame in the second session as there must have been something up with
him and there was only one century in this match by Mc Manus with a 107 but Doherty’s
highest break was 26. In the third session Doherty did bring it back and got a
93 to 11-8 but with such a big deficit like that you know that it just about
lowering the number you loose by to make it respectable. But Mc Manus was able
to kill of Doherty and win back to back frames to win the match 13-8. Mc Manus
I feel has got slim to no hopes of winning this title
