Jerichohol Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Another year, another Championship. I hope they don't switch venues like they were planning, I still have to see some matches at The Crucible. For Updates see: BBC Snooker What a fantastic opening match yesterday. Shocked O'Sullivan came back but what do you expect from the world number one. Great to see Hunter also playing well. Where's Ding Jun Hui. Shocked to see he is not playing World number one Ronnie O'Sullivan produced a sensational recovery to defeat Stephen Maguire 10-9 in the first round at The Crucible.Resuming 5-4 ahead, O'Sullivan opened up with a 96 to extend his lead. O'Sullivan's excellence seemed to bring out the best in Maguire and the Scot won four straight frames on his way to a 9-7 advantage. Under pressure, O'Sullivan showed nerves of steel to level at 9-9 and a 68 break sealed a brilliant win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame hunter went out...I can understand why he lost really..mind is elsewhere which is understandable :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerichohol Posted April 21, 2005 Author Share Posted April 21, 2005 Fantastic 147 by Williams, what a joy to watch. Great tournament so far, at least O'Sullivan is getting challanged unlike last year, Would be great to see him retain though I would like Williams to win it. Lets see what happens this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
