Chua playing poorly and deserves to lose. A younger Hohmann would have beaten him already.

Lot of odd decisions mixed in withe some careless mistakes on positioning. If Chua wins, it will because Hohmann has not broken well.

Chua ekes it out by his chinny chin chin.

Hohmann was the better player. He was more shrewd. But he missed what I call "old man shots." Older players have more trouble with long shots, especially long straight ones. Hohmann missed a half dozen shots he would have pocketed with ease 10 or 15 years ago.

Any other player in the final 64 likely would have beaten Chua. He has to step up his game to get to Friday. Chua looked very out of sorts.

Lot of tense matches today. Odd blowouts too - Biado, Kaci and Ko Ping Chung going down hard.

Hohman's technique was never great but it just got worse and worse over the years. The guy just can't stay still. It kills him every match. Contrast him with Feijen and the difference is stark. Feijen still has rock solid technique.
 
We are going tomorrow, can someone tell me what time can you enter the seating area for the 12:00 start.

Chang Yu Lung giving Filler a run for his money. This guy reminds me a lot of Dennis Orcollo.

It's strange. I always thought he did too, but when you go back and watch him, you'll see he always liked to come up on the big shots. He used to still make them though. Now it seems like he can't sync up his movement as well. By today's standards, his body movement really stands out.
