It's always good to see someone doing the best they can with what they've got. I don't think she'll get back to previous heights because her physicality is on the wane and she needed that to make up for a weak serve, but even so it's nice when you can see that a player has a love for the game and kind of doesn't want to let go.
Yea and that was the year he lost to Steve Davis at the Worlds. I always thought that was an 'interesting' result and no that's not a play on Davis's nickname
It was ironic for me that he was done for throwing a match against Higgins - a few years before that I'd wanted Higgins to beat King in a similar tournament and he lost in a decider from ahead in frames.
If he wins this now it'll be ridiculous. 3-0 down against O'Sullivan and wins 4-3, 4-1 down against Selby and wins 6-5 and now he could overturn a 5-0 deficit against Williams.
Following bits of it. Poland now the favourites but look short to me. Swiatek has been far from convincing and there's not much in the way of back up if she starts losing.
I don't like any of the leaders so instead I'll back a couple from off the pace. Niemann and Svensson are both two back and priced at 10.80 and 25.50 respectively on the exchanges. With McIlroy the market leader I reckon there's some juice in the field and so those two players are where my money's going.
