Zusammenfassung:
Snooker International Championship, 2. Runde, best-of-11, 07:30 Uhr:
Mark Selby (1) - Anthony McGill (24) 3,40 Bet365/Betvictor 2/10
Selby bisher 6-3 gegen Mike Dunn (Breaks: 88)
World number one Mark Selby enjoyed a 6-3 win over Mike Dunn, winning the last four frames with a top break of 88.
“Mike was probably the better player, just a few things went my way which helped me win,” admitted Selby. “I’ve been in China for five days and not slept well, I only had two hours last night, so hopefully I can get some rest before my next match.”
McGill bisher 6-0 gegen Sean O'Sullivan (67,51,84,52)
Anthony McGill top scored with 84 in a 6-0 whitewash of Sean O’Sullivan. “I played well, although the scoreline could have been closer,” said McGill. “I’ve been in good form this season and I’m just waiting for a long run.”
H2H: 3-1
Die letzten 3 Partien seit Februar 2015 alle eng:
5-4, 9-13, 4-3 (der Sieg für McGill kam in der 2. Runde bei der WM)
Für mich darf McGill hier keine 3,xx bekommen.
Kyren Wilson - Mark Allen 2,62 Pinni 2,5/10
Wilson bisher 6-4 gegen Jamie Cope (Breaks: 57,62,62)
Allen bisher 6-4 gegen Joe Swail (50,67,63,88,73)
Last year’s runner-up Allen enjoyed a 6-4 win over fellow Ulsterman Joe Swail with a top break of 88. “It’s no fun playing one of your best friends, I didn’t enjoy it,” said Allen. “I made some good breaks and always felt in control. although you are never comfortable until you get over the line.”
H2H: 1-1
Das letzte Match im Halbfinale beim Shanghai Masters vor einem Monat gewann Wilson mit 6-1 und holte danach auch den Titel, der ihn in der WR auf Position 21 nach vorne bringt.
Allen kommt wieder besser in Form, ist für mich aber nur leichter Favorit.
Lee Walker (82) - Michael White (17) 3,50 Corals 1/10
Walker heute 6-4 gegen Daniel Wells (Breaks: 61,52).
In der Quali Mark Davis 6-5 bezwungen.
White bisher 6-5 gegen Dechawat Poomjaeng (59,67).
In der Quali 6-5 gegen Alfie Burden.
H2H: 0-1
Tian Pengfei (66) - Liang Wenbo (24) 2,20 diverse 3/10
Tian heute 6-2 gegen Daniel Wells.
Einen Tag davor in der Quali den Titelverteidiger Ricky Walden mit 6-4 rausgenommen.
Ricky Walden’s defence of his International Championship title failed at the first hurdle as he lost 6-4 to China’s Tian Pengfei in Daqing on Sunday.
World number 11 Walden enjoyed his best moment in snooker a year ago when he beat Mark Allen in the final to capture the £125,000 top prize at the sport’s richest event staged outside the UK. And he looked in good form ahead of his defence, having reached the final of the Haining Open on Friday.
But after a 2,000 mile trip to the north of China, Walden was unable to reproduce that form and lost to world number 66 Tian.
Ruhr Open finalist Tian led 3-1 at the interval, making a break of 106 in frame four. Walden fought back to 4-4 by taking three of the next four with runs of 92, 80 and 86. But Tian dominated the ninth with breaks of 70 and 64, and sealed victory in the next with 48 and 45.
Wenbo schlug hier Andrew Higginson mit 6-4.
H2H: 0-1
Trotz des großen Unterschiedes in der Weltrangliste hat Tian für mich hier eine 50:50-Chance. In Mülheim bei den Ruhr Open im Finale gewesen, und auch die Wochen davor und danach sehr solide gespielt.
