Cam asta a spus si el

* PETER : "Ding outplayed me. He didn't give me much of a chance. I misjudged a couple of safety shots but he knocked in some great long pots and scored heavily when he got in. For me, he's a top 16 or maybe even a top eight player. I couldn't have had a more difficult draw in the opening round - it was like getting Stephen Hendry, Ronnie O'Sullivan or John Higgins. I've not been whitewashed many times in my career and it isn't a nice feeling."

* DING ( la conferinta de presa au venit peste 50 de jurnalisti din ale scrisului & vazut-vorbitului ): "Peter wasn't at his best and I took my opportunities. He only arrived the day before the match and wasn't feeling very well but I'm happy with how I played."

Dinggy se pare ca are de gand sa-si satisfaca compatriotii. Jocul lui este chiar foarte bun si daca o tine tot asa cine stie ce surprize o sa mai avem Bravo lui!

* Da, este o surpriza de proportii !... Imi amintesc ca am citit o declaratie de acum vreun an, in care Peter spunea ca pustiul ar fi nici mai mult, nici mai putin decit "genial"!... Regret plecarea spre caii lui a englezului, dar raminerea in cursa a unui chinez e un lucru foarte bun atit pentru interesul de care se bucura turneul, cit si pentru popularitatea snookerului in China.

DING-EBDON,inca un film de scurt metraj de tipul 'The pupil beats his own
master".
Ma refeream shi la Maguire-Hendry.

Pentru cei ingrijorati de STEVE : s-a lovit singur, din neatentie : a dat cu capul intr-o usa metalica imediat dupa ce terminase de semnat autografe, chiar inainte de meci. Dupa jocul al treilea, Eirian Williams l-a insotit la infirmeria stadionului, unde Steve a luat un analgezic. Dupa ca s-a simtit tot mai rau, a fost chemat un medic si Steve s-a dus la un spital din apropiere, pentru tomografie.

Ce s-a intamplat cu Higgi si cu Matthew..
Acum..eu cu cine votez?
Cred ca ma voi reprofila pe alt blond..pe cel mai blond dintre toti..desigur vorbesc de Paul Hunter! Sau poate pe Ding Junhui? N-ar fi rau sa-l vedem in finala.
Hmm...de fapt, cred ca tin cu..cel care castiga.
Enjoy!

Frumos intradevar jocul dintre Jimmy si Paul (eu am vazut meciul de la 4 -0 pana la 4-3; tot la serviciu bineinteles ). Chiar imi place foarte mult stilul lui Jimmy. De aceea este atat de iubit in Regatul Unit. Pacat ca nu a castigat, dar si Paul merita sa castige.

* PAUL HUNTER, de mult timp in asteptarea unei victorii, a “spart” tiparul pagubos de pina acum in meciul cu Ali Carter, iar ieri, in plus, nici de ghinion nu s-a putut plinge ( o fi cercelusul din urechea stinga - asortat cu verigheta - cel care i-a purtat noroc ?!... ). E foarte bine pentru moralul lui, mai ales in momentul acesta, cind - doar cine a trecut prin asa ceva stie ce inseamna asta - asteapta rezultatele biopsiei : "I'm using the snooker to try and forget my problems", a marturisit el. "The people here absoultely love snooker and it's great to be supported in the same way that Jimmy is back in the UK," au adaugat, vorba Luizei, “pletele blondine”. Formatul best of 9 il avantajeaza acum ca e in etapa “revenirii” ( ca si pe Ding, din alte motive, desigur ). "I knew it wasn't over at 4-0 because of what Jimmy did to Matthew at the Masters. If I can win four frames on the spin then there's no reason why he can't. The interval did change the flow of the match and I was relieved to finish it off."

* STEVE DAVIS, ce pacat, a fost silit sa se retraga cedind meciul. Chiar inainte de inceperea acestuia, asaltat de fani, s-a oprit sa semneze programe si fotografii la intrarea in stadion, dupa care s-a intors, grabit, sa patrunda in incinta si a dat cu simpaticu-i cap roscat drept in canatul de otel al usii, ceea ce ar fi caraghios daca nu ar fi si ingrijorator. Socul s-a manifestat imediat printr-o persistenta durere, pe care, insa, Steve nu a luat-o in serios pina in momentul in care a inceput sa aiba o senzatie de ameteala. Dupa ce analgezicul a ramas fara efect, doctoral i-a recomandat o tomografie si a accentuat urgenta efectuarii ei. Deci, Steve s-a urcat singur in ambulanta si s-a dus la spital. Lui RICKY WALDEN, care, probabil, nici nu visa sa ajunga in sferturi, nu i-a mai ramas altceva de facut decit sa accepte o victorie nemuncita si neincununata de glorie. "I suppose the result is the main thing but it's only snooker. If Steve feels rough it's right he should stop.It’s not the way I would want to win, but there was nothing I could do and I am delighted to be through to the quarter-finals. I was devastated after losing my qualifier for Sheffield, it was such a big match. I’ve not played my best snooker over here but I’ve ridden my luck. I’m really looking forward to playing Stephen Hendry now, those are the matches we all want to play and I won’t shy away from it."

* STEPHEN HENDRY nu s-a dus sa vada Marele Zid si, cum Marele Zid nu a venit la el , scotianul s-a multumit cu o victorie asupra oarecum neajutoratului RYAN DAY. Stiam ca Stephen e un matinal, dar ieri s-a trezit cu ceva efort : "I wasn’t looking forward to playing at 10.00am but luckily I had a good night’s sleep. It’s a little strange to have the top two ranked players left in the tournament playing at 10.00am in an empty arena. In fact, it was surreal but we both coped okay."

* ALAN McMANUS, omul care mai degraba trece neobservat - dar care, se afla in Top 16 din 1992 ! - l-a eliminat pe HIGGIE. "I played fairly well and John made a few mistakes, which I didn’t expect because he’s such a strong player. It’s a good win and it gives me some confidence. It would be great to go all the way here but I’ll just take one match at a time. I always enjoy playing overseas and the conditions here are excellent. I also love going to see the sights. I went to the Great Wall yesterday with John and Chris (Small) which was fantastic - how they built it is mind-boggling. At this time of year everyone starts looking at the ranking list. Sheffield is the big one but every match I win here is a bonus."

* Sarbatoritul de miine, DING, l-a expediat acasa pe STUART BINGHAM. Nu a mers totul ca uns, fiindca dupa ce a ajuns sa conduca cu 4-1, si-a cam pierdut firea si s-a vazut egalat la 4. In jocul decisiv, bila roz a dovedit azi simpatii ... galbene si exit Stuart. "I played very well for the first few frames, then I made a lot of mistakes because I was so eager to win. I’m happy that everyone was supporting me, but that also put me under a lot of pressure. My game was only 40 per cent tonight, I made too many mistakes. Now I have to focus on my match against Marco and I know it won’t be easy because we practise together. I will try my best and I think I have a chance to win." Cadoul de aniversare : meciul cu Marco Fu. Ding-dong.

[Mrs. Hendry]

Hihi. Toate frumoase. Daca te intalnesti si cu o declaratie a lui John, mi-o dai si mie, te rog, Clara?
In ceea ce priveste meciurile, sa zic ca sper sa castige Marco FU, nu pentru ca ash avea ceva cu Ding, ci, simt nevoia sa repet pentru a mia oara, pentru ca-mi este dor de jocul lui?
Cred ca un meci dur va fi cel intre Ken si Paul. Paul e intr-o forma buna, iar pe Ken eu inca nu l-am vazut jucand... Sunt tare curioasa.
Fortza-n tac everyone si delightful matches!

Nimic nu pare sa fi spus Higgie !... Nici Jimmy. Si nu sunt ei oamenii care sa se puna in silenzio stampa. Nici Mark, nici Ken. Astia doi de la urma sunt mai 'mutulici'de felul lor, nu se si lanseaza in monologuri de cum li se propteste cite un microfon sub nasuc, ca stie toata lumea cine ... Desi atunci cind vorbeste, Ken le zice al naibii de bine. Poate au fost grabiti sa plece...
