Seems a bit of an overreaction imo, as good as he's playing right now. He's still dogged a few clearances that the top players would've had.

for sure. the WC is a marathon, and the old wiley foxes usually know how to pace themselves better than a guy like zhao. selby, shaun, ronnie, higgins haven't shown what they bring yet.

but, his pot success was 96% which is absolutely top notch. average shot time 16 seconds. he dominated last year's runner up. i can understand how the oddsmakers reason
 
well at least mark williams withstood the onslaught. turned 7-8 to 10-8. at one point he got so wary of the longshooting youngster that he shot a negative break shot

this zak surety has a different style. cue isn't parallel so he's striking down a lot, cue hand is tilted slightly inwards. both legs bent and not wide apart, one knee often angled in medially.

play wise neither player is looking like they have title ambitions
 
Take a shot every time Dave Gilbert has a chance to win the frame and doesn't take advantage.
 
O'Connor and Higgins might go all the way to the decider if Joe can keep his head together.

In general great tournament so far, a lot of tight and entertaining matches! Tomorrow can't wait to see Ronnie and Ali play shoulder block, part 2 :LOL:
 
the cloth looks different and the highlights that i have seen the tables seem to be rolling differently -but some people say the crucible is like heaven on earth and others say it’s old and falling apart
 
The way this Zhang / Pang match is going, I'd be shocked if there's more than 2 total centuries in the entire match. Are these guys normally this off or is mostly nerves?

table one definitely rolls of by the green pocket. there's a wooden floor under the carpet. only nostalgiacs say crucible is heaven, many players dislike it. but i guess the alternative is saudi arabia
 
murphy is looking in top form. he is one dimensional, but you don't have to play safe if you just shoot all the balls in
 
As long as he's not hitting a ball down the rail at pace, Ronnie's striking them exceptionally at the moment.
 
3-1 at the interval. Kind of a scrappy back-and-forth, but Ronnie hitting balls in the heart of the pockets the fourth frame.
