Trump 0-0 Williams (24-0)
Starter to Judd and though it’s not an easy table, he shouldn’t run out of position when he does and, perhaps distracted, he leaves a starter … but because Mark misses it, it works out well for him and he gets on to the black, replaced just below the pink, and things looks a little easier now.
Trump 0-0 Williams (0-0)
Pre-match, Mark said he’ll definitely be playing next term but this might be his last ITV tournament; if he wins here he qualifies for the Champion of Champions, so we’ll see. In comms, Stephen says Mark is perhaps the smartest snooker player we’ve ever seen, who plays shots he doesn’t see and absolutely has the best temperament in the history of our sport; he texted him after his ludicrous dish and TWPM repsonded saying he wasn’t sure where it’d come from, he was dead on his feet. Anyway, it’s a tactical start to the match.
And away we go!
