DING SHOWS COURAGE TO OUST PERRY
25 Mar 2008 15:20:00
Home hero Ding Junhui produced a brave display to knock Joe Perry out of the Honghe Industrial 2008 World Snooker China Open.
Ding, champion here three years ago, was well below his best, perhaps suffering under the weight of expectation of a nation. Crowds turned out in force in Beijing to watch the 20-year-old launch his challenge, the audience containing several dignitaries including the Mayor of the Chinese capital.
World No 9 Ding struggled in the early stages and the match was in the balance at 3-3, but he showed solid matchplay and a calm nerve to win the last two frames.
Perry won the first with an impressive 62 clearance, then Ding snatched the second by clearing from last red to black. the next four were scrappy, the only highlight a 68 from Ding which put him 3-2 up.
After Perry levelled, Ding dominated the seventh for 4-3, and he closed out victory in the next by slotting the pink into a baulk corner after Perry had missed a pot to the centre when presented with a chance for 4-4.
"I thought I played well tonight," said Ding. "I was satisfied with both my defence and attack. "I have not lost in the first round this season but I am still not sure how far I can go in this tournament."
Ding has been chosen to take part in the Olympic Torch Relay in the Anhui Province and added: "I am really honoured to be chosen. I have watched the Olympics since I was a child and have always wanted to be an athlete and take part."
Stephen Hendry’s disappointing season suffered another set-back as he lost 5-1 to Barry Hawkins.
Hendry won the opening frame but Dartford’s Hawkins hit back to win the next five with top runs of 102 and 64.
"I’m delighted, it’s a great scoreline," said Hawkins, who lost 6-5 on the final black to Jamie Cope in the semi-finals here last year.
"I should have been in the final last year, I threw that match away. Hopefully I can keep playing like I did today and take the trophy home this time."
Hendry said: "I lost because Barry played better than me. I didn’t get many chances after the first frame and he was the better player. This doesn’t have any bearing on the World Championship, but it matters because I wanted to do well here. I’ll have to wait until next year."
Ryan Day, runner-up in the Roewe Shanghai Masters, enjoyed a 5-3 win over fellow Welshman Matthew Stevens.
Stevens won the first frame of a high-quality contest with a break of 70. He added two more runs of 66 in edging a 3-2 lead. But Day found his potting boots at the right time, blasting in 123, 75 and 83 to win the last three frames.
"There must be something in the air in China that helps me," joked Day, who now faces Ken Doherty.
Mark King scored a 5-2 win over practice partner and friend Steve Davis with a top break of 72.

Murphy un costaud dans les 3 premiers mondiaux, Harold fort laborieux hier dans son match de qualification, tout près de l'élimination .
Un match relativement compliqué pour Murphy qui passe 5-3, sur une dernière frame très disputée et au bout de 4 heures de jeu au total
Selby c'est l'homme en forme du moment avec une demie suivi d'une victoire. Walden a pas mal joué hier, mais là le niveau sera tout autre.
"Ricky Walden looked in trouble at 3-1 down against Yu Delu, but the Flintshire cueman fought back impressively to win the next four frames for a 5-3 success. Walden had a break of 107 in frame two and added 84 and 104 after the interval." Si il prend le même départ il perdra, s'il reste sur les dernières frames y'aura match !
Selby en costaud avec un 5-2 dont 3-0 avec 2 century après la pause à 2-2
O sullivan c'est la référence, il reste sur une victoire et une finale...
Marco Fu a été très très moyen hier, et seul un bon Fu peut battre un moyen O sullivan ; sauf si Ronnie pète un plomb, et ça peut arriver
Mince...Ronnie avait la victoire a un rien 50-0 dernière manche, table faite, et bam c'est le drame, la marron tape les 2 coins et ne rentre pas...!!!, Fu revient 50-50 manque la verte, mais Ronnie se plante encore...! et c'est foutu !

MURPHY THROUGH AFTER MARATHON FRAME
26 Mar 2008 11:26:00
After winning a frame that lasted longer than a football match, Shaun Murphy scored a 5-3 win over Dave Harold at the Honghe Industrial 2008 World Snooker China Open.
The eighth and final frame saw the players locked in a tactical exchange with only the colours left. As the clock ticked on the players potted the yellow and green before another lengthy exchange on the brown.
Murphy finally took the honours, the frame lasting 93 minutes and 12 seconds, surpassing both the records for the longest televised frame and longest in snooker.
Longest televised frame: Mark Selby v Marco Fu, Maplin UK Championship 2007 77:31
Longest ever frame: Cliff Thorburn v Stephen O’Connor Welsh Open qualifiers 1994 92:52
Harold opened his account with a 71 but Murphy responded with a 76. Harold from Stoke claimed the next and should have been 3-1 up at the interval but missed a simple blue that would have allowed him to sneak the frame.
Muprhy upped a gear after the resumption knocking in breaks of 91 and 112 but the Stoke cueman dug in deep with runs of 41 and 56 to give himself a chance.
"I’m very very pleased to have won, I’m not flying half way around the world to lose in the first round and I’m through to the second round.
"Although the last frame was the longest I was very pleased with how I played in the whole match. My safety play was good my potting was good and generally if both of those work you win the game," said Murphy
The next frame saw history created but it was Murphy who’ll be the happier of the two after a hard contest.
"Dave is a very good player who plays cagey snooker and it was never going to be over in hour, it was always going to be a slow hard game. It is hard because most players play more aggressive snooker but we are all here to win and you have to respect," said Murphy
When questioned about creating history he amused the assembled throng of Chinese journalists by admitting, "It was difficult in the last frame, I needed to go the toilet throughout the frame and I wouldn’t have minded if I had lost the frame."
Murphy will now play the home favourite in the next round in what should be a classic, although the 2005 World Champion has never lost to the Chinese prodigy.
World Champion John Higgins was made to work hard for his win but he eventually subdued the challenge of Joe Swail.
By his own admission the World No. 1 has not produced this season although he reached the quarter-finals of the Welsh Open last month.
The two were level after the opening two frames but Higgins edged in front with two scrappy frames to lead at the interval. Swail pulled it back to three each only for Higgins to snatch frame 7.
Another cagey frame followed but this time the Ulsterman came out on top dishing from yellow to pink to setup a deciding frame. But after several uncharacteristic misses the World Champion found his range to record his first 50 break of the match, a 61 to seal victory.
For Swail it was a case of what might have been, "To be honest with you, I thought I played ok but I was distracted when a camera flash went off in my line of vision in the last frame and I’m absolutely fuming. Fair play to John he proved what a good champion he is by clearing up with a 60 odd to win," said Swail.
Mark Williams was in fine form with a 5-1 victory over Marcus Campbell.
Williams who is edging up the rankings after a lean spell continued his return to form with back to back centuries.
Campbell took the first but rarely got a look in after that as Williams won five on the spin.
Runs of 66, 110 and 101 put him three up at the interval. That soon became four with a 49 clearance before wrapping up the victory in the final frame, dishing from green to black.
Williams who is looking to preserve his Top 32 status, he is provisionally No.29 was pleased with the win, "It was a good win for me, I need to win to stay in the Top 32 and hopefully this will be the springboard for more victories before the end of the season."
With five victories in the Far East Williams is clearly at ease here and will look forward to extending record.
In the next round he will face Peter Ebdon who saw off the challenge of rising star Jamie Cope. The young Stoke potter got to the final last year and is clearly seen as one for the future.
The two will come face to face again next month at the Crucible when they compete in the first round of the 888.com World Championship.
The 5-1 scoreline doesn’t reflect the chances Cope had. He took the first frame and was ahead in the next but Ebdon stole it on the colours. The Dubai based player sneaked the third with a dish from blue to black and completed the turnaround when he took green to pink..
Having won three frames by a total of 17 points the 2002 World Champion sealed the match in style with runs of 99 and 74. "I’m abosolutely delighted it’s the first match I have won overseas since 1973," he joked.
"It’s just nice to win, the table was very good and the cloth was very light, congratulations to Star. It’s fantastic for me and all the players to see what a great effort the Chinese federation and everyone else have put in to make this a great tournament," he said.
For Cope he has the consolation of looking ahead to their re-match, "I’m playing him again at the world next month so I’ve just got to look forward to that now," he said.
"I should have won the first three frames but I was 2-1 down. I struggled to get going. I also had a chance to win the fourth frame but from 3-1 it went downhill. I didn’t play well and I found it hard to control the white ball," Cope said.
Ronnie O'Sullivan paid the price for his carefree style as he suffered a 5-4 reverse to Marco Fu at the Honghe Industrial 2008 World Snooker China Open.
A thrilling tie between Hong Kong's finest and crowd favourite O'Sullivan went down to the last three balls.
O'Sullivan twice went for extremely risky pots on the blue from distance, with little regard for safety. The first time he was lucky to leave the blue safe, but on the second occasion he left Fu a simple pot to secure the match and a last 16 tie with Mark Selby.
Both players were in fine break-building form as they shared the first eight frames, O'Sullivan knocking in 74, 53, 77 and 99 and Fu responding with 58, 56, 88 and 121.
Chigwell's O'Sullivan was first among the balls in the decider and made 50 before missing a straight-forward brown. Fu replied with a 50 of his own, then missed the last green and was fortunate to leave his opponent snookered.
Fu potted green and brown then played safe on the blue, and took advantage of his opponent's recklessness when he got the chance to repeat his victory over O'Sullivan in the Royal London Watches Grand Prix final.
"I don't think Ronnie was totally focussed. His play was casual at times," said Fu. "But there's nothing I can do to control that. At 50-0 down in the last frame I didn't think I'd get another shot, so when I got a chance I felt lucky to be at the table, and not nervous.
"I played well from the start and took all of the chances I had. I felt much more relaxed than I did in my first match."
O'Sullivan, whose lead at the top of the provisional rankings is now sure to be narrowed following wins for Shaun Murphy and Stephen Maguire, said: "I tried to express myself and it was a good game because we both played open snooker. Marco made me go for my shots.
"I tried hard and I'm very disappointed but there has to be a loser. I lost to the better player on the night so I've no complaints. I played well but he played better.
"There have been times in the past when I've won tournaments but I've still been miserable and ended up crying. The most important thing it to enjoy the game. It's history now and good luck to Marco."
Selby, seeking his third major title of the calendar year, enjoyed a comfortable 5-2 win over Ricky Walden, pulling away from 2-2 with top breaks of 117 and 109.
Ulster's Mark Allen scored a 5-2 win over Neil Robertson in another fast-moving game.
Allen enjoyed runs of 65 and 118 in going 3-0 up. Robertson was on for a 147 maximum in frame four but partially snookered himself on the last red and narrowly missed it to a baulk corner.
The Aussie pulled another frame back with a 63, only for Allen to go 4-2 up with a 76, then he secured victory in the next.
"I'm always happy to beat one of the top players, although I had a bit of luck on my side tonight which helped," said Allen. "I didn't do much wrong in the two frames Neil won, so I still felt confident."
Robertson said: "It would have been nice to make a 147, I was only one centimetre away from having a chance to pot the last red. It shows that I've been playing well, but I've had a lot of tough draws this season and run into players in form. Hopefully I'm saving it for the World Championship."
Ali Carter saw off Essex rival Stuart Bingham 5-3 with top runs of 84 and 68.
Higgins n'a pas fait un grand match, mais reste bon en valeur intrinsèque
et peu en profiter pour prendre des points contre King
King n'a pas été extraordinaire contre son partenaire d'entrainement Davis...
Facile pour un Higgins correct sans plus mais un King peu inspiré = 5-1
Murphy à 2 c'est une bonne côte je trouve, il a été solide pour gagner Harold dans un match interminable, il est un top joueur.
Ding Junhui n'a pas été impérial contre Perry, Ding a l'avantage d'être à domicile...
Un match assez triste pour le spectacle, les 2 joueurs jouant à "qui va être le plus mauvais" après 2 belles frames de Murphy.
Un match énorme pour la tension des chinois et des parieurs
5-4 pour Murphy

HIGGINS TOPPLES KING TO BUILD FORM
27 Mar 2008 09:07:00
John Higgins hopes to add to his tally of one ranking title in Asia this week - and to find his best game ahead of the defence of his world title.
Higgins scored a 5-1 win over Mark King today at the Honghe Industrial 2008 China Open to book his place in the quarter-finals, and showed a marked improvement on his performance yesterday when he scrapped a 5-4 win over Joe Swail.
The Scot took the first frame today with a break of 88, then Romford’s King levelled. Higgins then pulled away to win four in succession with runs of 71, 62 and 116, missing the green in the last frame when set for a tournament-high 141.
"I would love to win this tournament as I’ve only ever won one in the Far East which is not a good record," said Higgins, who won the China International in 1999. "To win would give me confidence going into Sheffield that I can defend my world title and play some good snooker.
"It was a good performace today. Yesterday’s match was scrappy and I’m lucky to still be in the tournament. But I got some confidence from making a good break in the last frame. Today I gave Mark some chances and he didn’t take them. My next opponent is sure to take them so I will have to play better.
"Whoever I play next (Mark Selby or Marco Fu) will be a tough game. They have both beaten me this season - Marco at the Grand Prix and Mark in Wales. They are both having a great season, along with Ronnie O’Sullivan, Shaun Murphy and Stephen Maguire, they have been the best five players this season."
Higgins' friend and countryman Stephen Maguire joined him in the last eight with a comfortable 5-2 win over Barry Hawkins.
Maguire lost the first frame but hit back to win five of the next six with top runs of 71, 85 and 75.
"It's a good result because Barry is a tough match-player," said Northern Ireland Trophy champion Maguire. "It was nothing spectacular but my all-round game was good and I'm pleased to be through to the quarter-finals in China for the first time."
Mark Williams continued his recent revival with a 5-2 success over Peter Ebdon. Welshman Williams came from 2-0 down to win the next five frames with four breaks in the 40s.
Nigel Bond reached his first ranking quarter-final since the 2003 UK Championship by beating Barry Pinches 5-1, knocking in 104, 100 and 70.
"Next season will be my 20th as a professional but I still love playing in tournaments," said 42-year-old Bond. "It can be hard to motivate myself in practice but I play against the likes of Shaun Murphy and Mark Selby, so that helps keep me interested."
Shaun Murphy triumphed at the end of a dramatic deciding frame to end the hopes of Ding and his millions of fans at the Honghe Industrial 2008 World Snooker China Open with a 5-4 win.
The exciting contest came down to the last few balls. Ding, trailing 42-61, had a chance to clear from the final green, but failed to gain perfect position on the brown then missed a tough pot to a centre pocket.
As the brown rebounded and rolled towards a baulk corner, Ding must have had a flash-back to his match against Stuart Bingham at the same stage of this tournament three years ago, when he fluked the brown and went on to win the tournament.
But this time, the brown finished hanging over the jaws, giving Murphy an easy chance to clear to the pink for victory and a quarter-final place against Mark Allen.
Earlier, Malta Cup champion Murphy started strongly with breaks of 71 and 111 to go 2-0 up. Ding came back to win four of the next six frames with a top run of 72.
But the 20-year-old and his legions of supporters were left disappointed. "I played ok but I had some bad luck in the last frame," said Ding, who has never beaten Murphy. "The pressure on me was huge. I will go back to the UK to prepare for the Crucible, because there is less attention on me there.
"I had chances and we both made mistakes. I'm staisfied with winning my first match here, so losing tonight doesn't matter too much."
World No 3 Murphy said: "I'm delighted. I made some nice breaks and played some good safety. I'm sure the match was great entertainment for anyone watching.
"We both had some good and bad luck throughout the match, but Ding was unlucky in the last frame to leave the brown over the pocket. It couldn't have finished in a better place for me.
"It was a massive advantage for me that I've never lost to Ding, though he's a great player and I'm sure he'll beat me one day. His biggest disadvantage is the expectation. He's got the weight of a nation on him and it must be difficult."
Allen reached his second ranking quarter-final with a 5-3 win over Ali Carter. Allen was a semi-finalist at the Northern Ireland Trophy earlier this season and is one win away from matching that performance.
Breaks of 64 and 135 put the Ulsterman 2-0 up. Carter got back to 2-2 with 59 and 54 and led 66-0 in the next after a 58, but Allen hit back to steal it 67-66.
Carter won the sixth on the black with a 45 clearance and led 46-0 in the seventh, but once again Allen pinched it with a 59. A run of 75 in frame eight sealed a superb win for the former World Amateur Champion.
"I didn't miss many balls and I took my chances," said Allen. "Ali had a bit of bad luck here and there and I took advantage.
"My main aim now is to get into the top 16, then after that I can push on and maybe win a few titles. I will face a very tough opponent next. I am confident but also realistic. This may not be my year to win this tournament but hopefully in the future I can win it."
Mark Selby continued his excellent recent form with a 5-3 win over Marco Fu. That set up a clash with John Higgins and a rematch of the Crucible final. They have also met twice in ranking events this season - Selby winning both. The Leicester player made breaks of 70, 63 and 127 to see off Hong Kong's Fu.
Ryan Day set up an all-Welsh quarter-final with Mark Williams by beating Ken Doherty 5-3.
Doherty made a 136 in coming from 3-1 down to 3-3, but Pontycymmer's Day recovered to win the last two frames with 71 and 54.
"Mark and I are both in good form so it should be a good battle," said Day, looking ahead to his meeting with Williams.
07:30 Maguire, S - Bond, N 1,33 3,105-0 07:30 Williams, M - Day, R 2,12 1,653-5
12:30 Selby, M - Higgins, J 1,61 2,205-2
12:30 Murphy, S - Allen, M 1,60 2,225-3
Confiance faible pour Murphy...il doit pouvoir le faire...mais pas avec le niveau de cet après midi...
Murphy qui gagne 5-3, pas génial mais solide ce Murphy...
Par contre Williams-Day là c'est hyper ouvert, je penche un peu plus sur Day comme le book mais Williams est en bonne forme, il semble avoir retrouvé son jeu...
Williams rate le coche à 3-3 alors qu'il a la table et fait l'erreur de trop sur le desnookage à 3-4 = 3-5 pour Day
Selby-Higgins est le gros match du jour, j'espère que Selby en pleine bourre va gagner comme lors du dernier open de galles 5-2 le 15/02/08

Snooker-Chine-China Open
07:30 Maguire, S - Bond, N 1.363 12:30 Selby, M - Higgins, J 1.727
Stephen Maguire raced to a 5-0 victory over Nigel Bond at the Honghe Industrial 2008 World Snooker China Open to move within two wins of his second ranking title of the season.
Maguire, who won the Northern Ireland Trophy in November, took just 96 minutes to see off the challenge of Bond, who was contesting his first ranking quarter-final in five years.
The Glaswegian rattled in breaks of 65, 57, 52, 105 and 55 in booking a semi-final against Ryan Day. Maguire has been arguably snooker's most consistent performer this season and is determined to add to his career tally of three ranking titles.
"To win any match 5-0 is a good result, so to win a quarter-final against Nigel, whose been playing some of the best snooker of the week, is fantastic," said world No 10 Maguire.
"He could have won the first frame but I managed to clear up from about 50 points behind. That dented his confidence and by the time he recovered he was 3-0 or 4-0 down. So winning the first frame had a lot to do with the result.
"I've played Ryan twice before and it's 1-1. We grew up together as juniors so we have a lot of history and we're good friends off the table."
Derbyshire's Bond said: "Stephen's in great form, he's been one of the top four players this season. It was a hard game, I didn't do much wrong, just missed a couple of balls and played one loose safety. I didn't get much table time because he didn't miss much."
Day won the all-Welsh battle against Mark Williams 5-3, and is now one step away from repeating his run to the final of the Roewe Shanghai Masters last August.
Williams won the opening frame with a 61, then Pontycymmer's Day levelled with a 52 clearance before adding the next two for a 3-1 lead.
Back came Williams to 3-3, making a 108 in the sixth. But world No 16 Day proved stronger at the business end as a 76 made it 4-3 and he secured victory in the next.
"It was a very good quality game with good breaks and safety," said Day. "I'm happy to have come out of it on top. My all round performance was solid and I showed a bit of self-belief to win from 3-3."
Williams, who has improved his chances of staying in the top 32 in the rankings by reaching the quarter-finals, added: "At 3-3 I went into the pack but didn't land on a red. If I had done it might have won it."
SELBY CONTINUES HIGGINS HOODOO
28 Mar 2008 13:59:00
Mark Selby has become John Higgins' bogey player this season as another victory over the Scot took him to the semi-finals of the Honghe Industrial 2008 World Snooker China Open.
Since losing to Higgins in the final of the 888.com World Snooker Championship at the end of last season, Selby has exacted three measures of revenge with victories in the Roewe Shanghai Masters, Welsh Open and now a 5-2 success in this tournament in Beijing.
In a high quality match which featured a break of 50 or more in every frame, Selby opened with a 74 then Higgins levelled with a 55. Runs of 50 and 67 gave Selby a 3-1 interval lead.
Higgins pulled one back with a fine 127 but failed to score a point in the last two frames as Selby rolled in 76 and 106.
The Leicester Jester, who won his first ranking title in Wales last month, has now won eight consecutive matches and continues to build his reputation as a world-beater.
He now faces friend and practice partner Shaun Murphy tomorrow, with a place in the final at stake.
"I was very consistent, that's probably the first time this week that I've played well throughout the match," said 24-year-old Selby. "My safety game was solid and I hardly played a bad shot. You have to play like that to beat John.
"I give everyone the same respect and prepare for each match the same way, but I always seem to play well against John. This gives me great confidence, if I can keep playing like this hopefully I can go on to win the title."
World No 1 Higgins said: "Mark played well but I gave him too many chances. My tactical play was very bad. I was giving chances away too cheaply, that was the disappointing thing for me.
"Mark played the way he's been playing all season and if you're not very sharp he will beat you. He's got that much confidence at the moment, when he goes to the table he doesn't think he's going to miss.
"When I get back I'll have a couple of days with my family, then I'll be in the club for two weeks before Sheffield. I've got lots and lots of practice to do."
Former World Champion Murphy fought to a 5-3 win over Mark Allen. The Rotherham potter has shown a remarkable degree of consistency this season, reaching the semi-finals of the last five ranking events.
Northern Ireland's Allen took the first frame with a 56 then Murphy won three on the spin with 53, 52 and 59. Allen won a scrappy fifth then an 82 from Murphy put him 4-2 up.
Breaks of 54 and 62 in frame seven allowed Allen to halve the gap, but his hopes of a fight back were short lived as Murphy closed out the tie with a 64.
"I'm very pleased to get through to another semi and continue my consistent form," said Murphy. "The four players left have been the best this week, and with the exception of Ronnie O'Sullivan they are probably the best four in the world at the moment.
"Mark Selby and I are good friends, and we've had some good matches in the past. We're both playing well so it should be a quality game of snooker and I think it will be quite close."
Allen said: "I didn't deserve to win because I didn't play well enough, so I'm disappointed. I felt as if my form was improving as I went on in the tournament, I played well last night.
"But today it didn't go for me. I only started playing well towards the end, and against someone of Shaun's class I gave myself too much to do."
