Failing to get either the cue ball or the last red safe at the end of the 7th frame was where he lost if for me. Trump is there for the taking right now but nobody seems to have the minerals to get the job done. So much of snooker is in the head. I don't think Wenbo believed he could win even at 4-1.

Can't be much fun when that's what your fellow players think of you and they're even prepared to say so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 Yeah, you can't have those demons in your head. You could see on Wenbo's face that he never once thought he would win. Jak Jones done same thing last week with Trump to be fair, to a less extent. So many players just buckle against the name instead of the performance. Few I like tomorrow First of all I think Jiahui is worth covering on the handicap. Jiahui actually beat Ding the last time they played and whilst I obviously want Ding to win, he seems to go from stunning pots to silly mistakes shot-by-shot. Secondly, I'm going to take Selt to beat UnNooh. I had Selt to win against Xintong and although Xintong was pretty poor, Selt looked decent. More so though, Selt has won all 6 of their h2hs. That's crazy numbers. Finally, I reckon Jak Jones is worth a punt against Murphy. Jak has beat Mark Allen and Vafaei in the last two and I think he is playing better than Murphy. 6pts Jiahui (+2.5 frames) to beat Ding 4/6 bet365 5pts Selt to beat Un Nooh 11/10 bet365 4pts Jones to beat Murphy 7/4 bet365 Simeon Borisof and vikki37 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carter might give him a match, tonight. He is playing well. Hopefully Yuelong beats him though. Torque 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After winning four frames in a row yesterday to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat he'll now need to win the last two frames to repeat the trick. Two frames in a row is easier than four obviously, but you just wonder how many more lives he can possibly have. Wouldn't be surprised if that's in Trump's mind as well.

Fader Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 Carter is fresh and ready to go in the next round, too. They play the Quarter Finals in like an hour. If Trump goes through then I'll be on Carter. Yuelong has made some shocking decisions and very poor shots when he's been in positions to win. Much like Wenbo, he has tried hard to throw this away. Shows in the head-2-head because Trump has won all 3 and Yuelong has won just one frame in those 3 matches prior to this. The choke will likely continue.

Fader Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 No real shock that Yuelong has blown that. It really was a choke, too. You never really thought that he would get over the line. Trump didn't need to play well. Here's tonight's (literally 45mins away) Quarter Finals : Gould Vs Selt Dott Vs Ding Lines Vs Murphy Carter Vs Trump Will be glad to see that one of Dott or Ding will be in a Semi-Finals against either Gould or Selt. Fingers crossed they make the final atleast for a pay-out. In terms of tonight, I think the value probably lies with Ali Carter to beat Trump. If you thought that Selt's record against Un-Nooh was one-sided (P6 W6) have a look at the h2h of Gould Vs Selt. Played 11 and all 11 won by Gould. That's one hell of a record for Gouldy. 4pts Carter to beat Trump 15/8 paddypower vikki37 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fader Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 Yeah Carter should have went 4-3 up to be fair and got down to the last few colours but his positioning sucked and he threw the frame away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fader Posted March 14, 2022 Author Share Posted March 14, 2022 Yeah, sorry, I left Murphy / Trump alone but Murphy was terrible from 2-1 up. Very odd chain of events. Never really fancied Selt in the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
