2017 World Snooker (Free Facebook Live Broadcast)
- Thread starter BeiberLvr
- Start date
Mine too. Higgins nearest cert in my book, then O'Sullivan, then Hawkins, then Fu (Selby - Fu has the potential to be an epic hill battle)
Hawkins and Maguire should be close and I like Selby over Fu all day long.
Bold call with Fu! I'd love him to win it purely because I think it would be great for the game if someone from Asia was world champ, but he needs to tighten up a bit.
Although he is emotionless on the outside, he was clearly nervous last night and missing shots by a mile, Selby will punish him for those...so needs to up his game...however he is capable!
Ronnie v Ding QF (1st session) was simply fantabulous. Fast match also around 2 hours for 8 frames.

The 2 best break builders and offensive players right now.
End to end attacking , punch and counterpunch
Ding raced to 3 -0 lead, Ronnie hit back with 3 frames
Tied at 3-3 , Ronnie raced to 69 break .After a few safety exchanges on 2 reds, Ding ran out the frame to tie 69-69
Reracked the black for a shootout. Ding won the toss and sent Ronnie to shoot first. Ding won the frame after Ronnie sold out
But Ronnie turned it on in final frame to tie the first session 4-4

Well Fu collapsed and now down 0-5 to Selby. Too many errors too tired plus Selby just a machine and in top form. Not surprising they say he is the hardest working
Fu is the Comeback King this year but do not see him coming back a third time in a row and against a player like Selby. He is running out of gas
The only guys who can beat Selby now are Ronnie, Higgins, Ding
Agreed, Fu has started slowly in both his matches so far, but there's no chance Selby will allow him back in from 5-0, he's too solid for that!
im not so sure about selby, he isnt in that great form imo, when fu finds some stroke now, its far from over!
6-2 now, hopefully its a close game, but one of Selby's strengths seems to be winning without playing attractive snooker (he can of course clear the table, but has a better ability to win scrappy frames than most).
That said, as you say, if Fu comes out tomorrow and wins the first 2 its all to play for!
The only person capable of beating Selby is Selby. Cliche, yes, but he is the clear favorite.
What time US Pacific does it start back up ?
Thanks!
Thanks!
