Bully Wee Villa Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Maflin has played out of his skin but just cannot shake off Higgins. 8-8 at the end of the session. Feel that is probably his best chance to win gone now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

microdave Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 You'd think Higgins will have enough to get through tonight. It's been unbelievably good this morning and I'm really looking forward to this evening's climax. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Wow. Just switched to the Selby match and see he's lost the last three and now trails 3-4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

microdave Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I find him unwatchable.I don't find him very watchable either so I'm hoping this match is his last but a long way to go yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've enjoyed watching Maflin, but his face was like 'wtf do I have to do' when Higgins was clearing up in that 16th frame. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printer Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I think if I had to select one player from all time to pot a black to save my life, I'd go with Higgins, even over Hendry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpaty Lviv Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) I must be miles behind in the Selby match, it’s still 3-3? Oh and Seema Jaswal Edited August 6, 2020 by Karpaty Lviv 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Whether he wins or not Higgins is an absolute master. What a fucking player. Must be dreadful having to play him over a long match like this and just not be able to pull away even when you're playing really well. His ability to clean up 60-70 breaks under the kosh is legendary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 He's unbelievable at hanging in there. Remarkably, he's not been in the lead since the beginning of frame four. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendry bottled one respotted black against Williams in the Masters final, as I recall. Can't really remember Higgins losing a game where I felt the pressure got to him since the 96 World QF against O'Sullivan when they were both still kids.

Bully Wee Villa Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Brilliant by Maflin. Think 90% of players would have wilted when Higgins kept coming back from the dead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Tremendous performance from Maflin. I've really enjoyed watching him and he's now got a great chance of reaching the semi. McGill/Clarke for him in the quarters. Looking at the draw, if Trump was to lose to Bingtao then there would be a first time finalist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've enjoyed Maflins play, bit surprising he's not done more.Good chance for McGill, he's kind of regressed the last couple of years but did well in qualifying and could easily make the semi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Hope for a McGill v Maflin quarter, like both players. Always gutted to see Higgins go out but Maflin was superb and deserved it. No one he can't beat now if he keeps that up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one he can't beat now if he keeps that up.He's reminding me of that year that shaun murphy broke on to the crucible scene. Kept thinking 'he'll lose this one' but he just kept going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Feel sorry for Saengkham.Selby is just horrible to watch.Tonight's session should be a fun one to flick back and forward between assuming the usual Trump turns up and not the one from the first session and a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selby off form is a proper shitfester but Selby at crunch time is different sauce much like Higgins. Good to watch in the big games. He doesn't get enough credit and is actively loathed by people who shout CAMMONNRONNEHHH at snooker matches - get it right, right up all of those people btw. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
