At his best, he's top 8 easily, possibly top 4 because he reaches so many semis.
I wrote "at the moment". At his best he can beat anyone.
your only as good as your last match Murphy has had many poor performances you cant get away from the fact hes a rubbish player at the moment.
I disagree. That would mean Stephen Hendry is a rubbish player.
of course Hendry is rubbish. why did you think he retired

Well that's how he qualified. Maybe she forgot Ding's qualified through that because he qualified due to PTC Grands first.

They should have another journalist/non-player commentator. I remember in the World Open coverage, Foulds and Clive were knackered by the final session. At least Angles and Foulds can alternate.

Yeah me too, both have such similar styles and I love when those 2 play each other, especially as they haven't played in an important match for a while now.

Commentators don't mention Mags's Indian Open semi? OK, it was a glorified PTC, but still a full ranker.

I guess wearing ties is standard issue now, at least in ITV tournaments. Will be interesting to see Ronnie wearing one

Mags won't wear one, will he? It won't help with his 'neck rash'.

Anyone notice if Mags was wearing one? He normally doesn't wear a bow tie for 'medical reasons'.

I think Maguire should just get on with it. He won't win this frame and he's just wasting energy now.

i think at the moment people are overestimating Higgins and expect him to hit form at any moment.
yes of course that could happen but i doubt it.

Higgins already made one after the first frame, and Selby too in the other match.
I somehow don't think that rule will be in operation any time soon.
