Great break to finish up.

Phew, nerves in shreds tbh.

I wasn't enjoying the final that much. I like some mixes of tactical and heavy scoring so the first 25 frames or so had little contrast.
But that 65 min thriller of a frame was great, glad Stuart kept coming and battling back. #exampletousall
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 4 May 2015 22:12 (ten years ago)
final was too heavy-scoring for this one^ ;)
― an absolute feast of hardcore fanboy LOLs surrounding (imago), Monday, 4 May 2015 22:14 (ten years ago)
one thing bugs me
when he said 'great to beat the second best player in the final', murphy did a shocked face - this was all vaudeville, right?

yes

RIP Steve Davis' career (he just announced he's retiring)
― StanM, Sunday, 17 April 2016 13:33 (nine years ago)
Alan McManus - thank you.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 27 April 2016 21:05 (nine years ago)
it was brilliant, was thinking of bumping this thread. that closing run of fifty breaks was magnificent, although his first won frame of the match was even better - one of the best centuries i've seen. who knew he could play like that?
meanwhile choker fu is choking

Gotta a tough-ish chance now.

my word, this is unlike him

Awesome

love these semi-finalists. ANYONE BUT SELBY

He has reached the SF before - two Asian players in the SFs for the first time

altho it'd keep this year's leicester theme going i spose xp
― And the cry rang out all o'er the town / Good Heavens! Tay is down (imago), Wednesday, 27 April 2016 21:17 (nine years ago)
would loooooove a ding/fu final altho mcmanus has played so well it'd be a shame if he lost
McManus!
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 29 April 2016 12:31 (nine years ago)
wow @ 8 centuries in 16 frames (Ding 5, McManus 3 at the moment)
― StanM, Friday, 29 April 2016 13:36 (nine years ago)
Now Marco's only gone and rubbed his tip off :(
― StanM, Friday, 29 April 2016 16:11 (nine years ago)
Shame really, its 8-8, back tomorrow so hope he can improvise in some way
McManus has got Ding in long safety battles: 9-8
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 29 April 2016 18:45 (nine years ago)
stops the rot
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 29 April 2016 18:58 (nine years ago)
that frame was quite a scrap and Ding just got the break. Ding was under a lot of pressure.
Now motoring on and on a 147 to make it three frames in a row.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 29 April 2016 19:29 (nine years ago)
Fails on the last black.
9th century in a SF - that's a record.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 29 April 2016 19:34 (nine years ago)
man alive, Alan won't let go although Ding has been reckless a couple of times since the break
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 29 April 2016 20:42 (nine years ago)
black missed off the spot: 13-10, one more come back needed tonight
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 29 April 2016 20:48 (nine years ago)
That is the worst safety ever
― And the cry rang out all o'er the town / Good Heavens! Tay is down (imago), Friday, 29 April 2016 21:20 (nine years ago)
Four frame adv. You'd think Ding will get over the line but I've seen more unlikely comebacks.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 29 April 2016 21:21 (nine years ago)
no wonder theres been so many centuries if the pockets are oversized!http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/snooker/36174937
― Odysseus, Friday, 29 April 2016 21:36 (nine years ago)
ding has to win it now. has to.
― And the cry rang out all o'er the town / Good Heavens! Tay is down (imago), Saturday, 30 April 2016 16:03 (nine years ago)
if it's Ding v. Fu, deciding frame, that could be 35 x TON UP!
― StanM, Saturday, 30 April 2016 17:07 (nine years ago)
Expect Selby to win - a better break builder than McManus with as good a safety game.
Ding is a great break builder but not as complete match player as Selby - Selby would need to severely under perform for Ding to win this.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 1 May 2016 09:40 (nine years ago)
Wonder what the worldwide (i.e. China) viewing figures for Ding v. Fu would have been?
― (Henry) Green container bin with face (Tom D.), Sunday, 1 May 2016 10:59 (nine years ago)
Solid comeback by Ding
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 1 May 2016 21:18 (nine years ago)
Such a quality frame - Ding was 71 ahead, failed to put away a red that would've meant the end of it.
Selby then gets a sweet long red. Now 35 points and one snooker later, one snooker to go - very much on.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 1 May 2016 21:44 (nine years ago)
Nearly 70 mins in the end for Ding to get the blue and pink.
Selby didn't win it but this is top match play snooker from Selby. Ding was on a run of heavy scoring so we'll see what that has done to Ding. Two frames left tonight.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 1 May 2016 22:11 (nine years ago)
This was incredible safety play.
Its totally paid off - Ding looks shot.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 1 May 2016 22:54 (nine years ago)
10-7. Very weird end last night - everyone rather be in bed. That's the players, audience - both in there and at home.
Selby's brill match play drained us all, gets him a three frame lead which Ding will have to muster seven-century snooker to overcome.
