:00:36. > :00:41.Hello and welcome to highlights from their Beth fair Masters.

:00:41. > :00:44.Tonight we will bring you action from two first round matches full

:00:44. > :00:49.Stock Shaun Murphy against Ricky Walden, but we start with Judd

:00:49. > :00:55.Trump against Barry Hawkins in what stir tip -- started out to be done

:00:55. > :01:01.absorbing encounter. After six frames it was 3-3, but Hawkins won

:01:01. > :01:06.the next two and was just one frame from victory. Trump won the 9th

:01:06. > :01:16.with a break of 105. We will join the action in the 10th frame. A lot

:01:16. > :01:22.

:01:22. > :01:29.He has played it well. As long as he is not hampered by the black...

:01:30. > :01:39.Is he going to be hampered by the black? The sound of him chalking

:01:40. > :01:41.

:01:41. > :01:46.If it had just shocked -- stopped end in short, he could have got his

:01:47. > :01:52.hand on the table without being hampered. This is difficult now.

:01:52. > :02:01.The problem is he can't dig down on the cue ball to hold it. He has to

:02:01. > :02:11.drop it in. The ball will be jumping. Hard to control. Great

:02:11. > :02:17.

:02:17. > :02:27.He still needs brown, blue and pink. A tremendous pot on the green, but

:02:27. > :02:55.

:02:55. > :03:00.Excellent shot on the brown, That was frame and match ball. I

:03:00. > :03:10.know he was stretching slightly, but you expected him to get it

:03:10. > :03:46.

:03:46. > :03:55.Excellent shot from Barry Hawkins. He couldn't have played that any

:03:55. > :04:00.better. I think if there's been a difference, that has been it, the

:04:00. > :04:09.consistency of Barry's safety play. That is a good hit. He could not

:04:09. > :04:19.have wished for anything better. That is absolutely perfect.

:04:19. > :04:42.

:04:42. > :04:47.Snookered, what a result. Still in This is going close to the pocket...

:04:47. > :04:54.An opportunity for Judd Trump. It is going to require all of his cue

:04:54. > :05:00.power to get back up for the pink. A yes. If one thing has let him

:05:00. > :05:07.down a little bit, it is his long potting. He has to use that pace in

:05:07. > :05:17.the cue ball. This is no certainty, but blue and pink needed to take us

:05:17. > :05:29.

:05:29. > :05:37.That was a super shot, wasn't it? Look at the control. Pink to take

:05:37. > :05:42.us into the deciding frame. It's there! We are in for a decider. A

:05:42. > :05:47.marvellous comeback from Judd Trump. A lot of character under a lot of

:05:47. > :05:50.courage. Can't blame Barry Hawkins, courage. Can't blame Barry Hawkins,

:05:50. > :06:00.but he had two frame and match- winning chances and spurned them.

:06:00. > :06:04.

:06:04. > :06:09.A hand shake and just what this audience were looking for. A

:06:09. > :06:15.deciding frame and we've got one. You couldn't have had much more

:06:15. > :06:20.drama than we had in the last frame. What does this frame hold? As we

:06:20. > :06:26.always say, you are just looking for one chance. Has that come

:06:26. > :06:32.immediately? It is a terrible break off from Barry Hawkins, he will be

:06:32. > :06:38.very disappointed. In the last frame, John Parrott always says you

:06:38. > :06:48.only want one chance. First chance to Judd Trump. He needed the cue

:06:48. > :06:48.

:06:48. > :06:52.ball to travel. Looks just about OK. A couple of reds to go at here. One

:06:52. > :07:01.at the bottom of the pack pots and the one to the extreme right also

:07:01. > :07:08.pots. That is Judd Trump's dad, Steve. He will be going through the

:07:08. > :07:14.mill. As I've always said, it is harder watching than playing. At

:07:14. > :07:19.least when you are playing, you've got the cue in your hand. They will

:07:19. > :07:29.be glad to be into a deciding frame because it certainly looked at

:07:29. > :07:30.

:07:30. > :07:35.times as if Judd would let this Just about OK. How well did he play

:07:35. > :07:45.that shot? He potted the red, used the angle of the red to split the

:07:45. > :07:52.

:07:52. > :07:57.other reds. Now, one good He has to be precise. It doesn't

:07:57. > :08:07.look like it is straight forward to get on to a red. But if he gets on

:08:07. > :08:11.

:08:11. > :08:17.to a red from here, an excellent Well, that was certainly a

:08:17. > :08:27.different way of trying to get onto a red, using deep screw. Off he

:08:27. > :08:46.

:08:46. > :08:51.I think the black is available if he can get on a red to play on it.

:08:51. > :08:59.That was a brave shot. At that speed, you know if it doesn't go in,

:08:59. > :09:09.it will stay in the jaws of the pocket. And it is a decider. A good

:09:09. > :09:16.

:09:16. > :09:25.positional shot here. If he can get There's the possibility of a plant,

:09:25. > :09:34.is there? We're just swinging around. They are very close to

:09:34. > :09:40.being a plant. If it had just rolled her 8th of an inch, he would

:09:40. > :09:44.have had a clear run through on the red to the right corner. But the

:09:44. > :09:51.two reds above the black look like they could be a plant. This looks

:09:51. > :09:57.like a plant, but a bit more difficult. But played it well.

:09:57. > :10:02.There was a gap between for two reds. He played it confidently. He

:10:02. > :10:07.played it as though he means business to win frame and match at

:10:08. > :10:17.this visit if he possibly can as we come to the Three hour mark. Those

:10:18. > :10:25.

:10:25. > :10:30.three hours have flown. It has gone The pink spot is covered so the

:10:30. > :10:36.pink goes on the black spot. I am just thinking what will be going

:10:36. > :10:45.through Barry's mind. Break off and leave your opponent with a pot.

:10:45. > :10:55.Schoolboy error. Dear me, to only have the one shot. This was it.

:10:55. > :10:58.

:10:58. > :11:03.He may not get another shot in this match. That will certainly

:11:03. > :11:07.disappoint him. He had a couple of chances in the previous matches

:11:07. > :11:17.well. He had the blue, he missed the black in the left centre to get

:11:17. > :11:22.

:11:23. > :11:28.He judged the pace of that nicely. When he potted the black, he knew

:11:28. > :11:38.it would be tied up, but the black should still be available. As long

:11:38. > :11:43.

:11:43. > :11:47.You've got to be impressed with Judd Trump. When he was 5-3 down,

:11:47. > :11:53.it looked for all money that he would go out and then he replied

:11:53. > :11:58.with a marvellous 105 to win frame nine. The last frame could have

:11:59. > :12:08.gone either way, but the shot on the blue, considering the pressure,

:12:09. > :12:12.

:12:12. > :12:22.He year. -- yeah. A couple of reds will pot into the bottom right-hand

:12:22. > :12:22.

:12:22. > :12:31.corner pocket. He has already built up a lead of 42 points. He is

:12:31. > :12:41.slowly getting to the stage where Barry Hawkins will need snookers.

:12:41. > :12:45.

:12:45. > :12:55.47 ahead, but still 83 remaining. He is looking for three reds and

:12:55. > :13:02.

:13:02. > :13:12.Just about got an angle on this Hawk-Eye will tell us. He can just

:13:12. > :13:27.

:13:27. > :13:37.He can drop this red in and get on to the black, that will pot. It

:13:37. > :13:37.

:13:37. > :13:45.will be available into both corner He has a choice of reds. He can

:13:45. > :13:49.take this one with the rest. doesn't feel as though he can pot

:13:50. > :13:55.for one into the left-hand corner without nudging another red, which

:13:55. > :14:00.might affect the position on the black. Playing the one with the

:14:01. > :14:06.rest, it is a clear run through. A clear path to go back for the blue

:14:06. > :14:10.as well. I would say play for the black, but it makes this red a

:14:10. > :14:13.little bit more difficult because you have to finish high on the

:14:13. > :14:23.black. If you finish low, you possibly can't get to the potting

:14:23. > :14:28.

:14:28. > :14:34.angle. He is looking for this red, He thinks he can get to the black

:14:34. > :14:40.this way. He will have to pot it and then leave himself a not too

:14:40. > :14:43.easy red for the frame and match. Barry, well, he breaks off, goes

:14:43. > :14:50.back to his seat and it doesn't look as though he will come out of

:14:50. > :14:58.it with a chance unless it is snookers required. How a match can

:14:58. > :15:08.turn on its head. There's a couple of reds available into the right

:15:08. > :15:12.

:15:12. > :15:19.He has got one big shot coming up. 61 ahead, 67 remaining. This red

:15:19. > :15:28.into the right centre will put him into the quarter-finals. What a

:15:28. > :15:38.comeback this will be. It is there! Great shot. You can see the

:15:38. > :15:43.

:15:43. > :15:48.reaction front Judd Trump. It tells Yes, Ken, I think it is a

:15:48. > :15:54.performance he should be proud of. It's not as if he has been given

:15:54. > :15:58.this, he has had to produce. Barry Hawkins had two chances in the last

:15:58. > :16:03.frame, but prior to that Barry Hawkins has played some superb

:16:03. > :16:08.snooker. It takes two to make a great match and Barry Hawkins just

:16:08. > :16:18.fell short, but Judd Trump had to step up to the plate and he has

:16:18. > :16:38.

:16:38. > :16:41.How nice it would be to finish with a shot -- finish with a century. We

:16:41. > :16:47.have already had a couple of centuries in this match. This would

:16:47. > :16:54.be a fantastic finish. Hats off to Judd Trump. He responded when the

:16:54. > :17:00.pressure was on and the questions were asked. As we say so many times,

:17:00. > :17:05.and I will go back to the vagaries of this game, Barry Hawkins breaks

:17:05. > :17:09.off, didn't find the baulk cushion, left a red on and he has had to sit

:17:09. > :17:18.down and suffer ever since and mum over those missed chances in the

:17:18. > :17:26.previous frame. -- mile over. Every credit to Judd Trump. This is one

:17:26. > :17:33.of the best comebacks I've seen him make. He has used his talent and

:17:33. > :17:43.ability. When it comes to the nitty-gritty, he had it. He had it

:17:43. > :17:45.

:17:45. > :17:50.A little bit of an exhibition shot, but it doesn't matter. He will be a

:17:50. > :17:54.mightily relieved young man. On numerous occasions he would have

:17:54. > :18:00.thought he was going out of this thought he was going out of this

:18:00. > :18:04.tournament. To a tremendous break of 107. Nothing to be ashamed of

:18:04. > :18:09.for Barry Hawkins. Judd Trump is absolutely delighted. Barry will

:18:09. > :18:19.reflect on chances gone, but Judd Trump is mightily relieved. The

:18:19. > :18:20.

:18:20. > :18:23.favourite is through to the My safety wasn't great. My break-

:18:23. > :18:27.building was missing a little bit of luck. Hopefully next round I

:18:27. > :18:34.will get that back. Barry played well and made it a tough game.

:18:34. > :18:38.I got myself in a good position and through the match away. I'm just so

:18:38. > :18:43.gutted. I had a great chance. couple of times I thought he would

:18:43. > :18:48.clear-up and he didn't. I stayed calm and waited for my chances.

:18:48. > :18:52.Stranger things have happened. is Graeme Dott next for a very

:18:52. > :19:02.relieved Judd Trump. Time for us to concentrate on the match between

:19:02. > :19:04.

:19:04. > :19:10.It has been a long time away from the tournament. I've worked hard to

:19:10. > :19:20.get back into the top 16. It's a high-profile event. If you practise

:19:20. > :19:22.

:19:22. > :19:26.hard, you can show everybody what It is hard now in snooker because

:19:27. > :19:31.we are so busy and we are playing that many tournaments that they all

:19:31. > :19:35.kind of rolling to one. What I do bring with me is knowing that I've

:19:35. > :19:43.practised very hard and my game is in good condition on the practice

:19:43. > :19:48.table. I really have put the effort in. A rate him as one of the best.

:19:48. > :19:53.He's a class act. Very attacking, good match player. I've known him a

:19:53. > :20:03.long time, we go back to their junior days. I know how good he is.

:20:03. > :20:05.

:20:05. > :20:10.I will have to be at the top of my He is a ranking event winner. He

:20:10. > :20:15.fully deserves his place in the top 16. He's a great player. When he

:20:15. > :20:19.gets going, he can devastate anybody. He's a really good mates

:20:19. > :20:27.of mine, we've known each other a long time. We know each other's

:20:27. > :20:34.games inside out and it will be a If I play to the best to my ability,

:20:34. > :20:38.I can win. From my point of view, I do believe it is all on May.

:20:38. > :20:43.Everybody else will be favouring Shaun, which is fine by me. Win,

:20:43. > :20:46.lose or draw, I know why I've give myself the best possible chance. I

:20:46. > :20:52.can't do any more and I will have to give it my best and see what

:20:52. > :20:58.happens. He Shaun Murphy has been in excellent form and recently

:20:58. > :21:03.finished runner up at the UK Championship. He won three of the

:21:03. > :21:07.first four frames. Would a break in proceedings allow Ricky Walden a

:21:07. > :21:17.chance to find his stride? Commentators are Dennis Taylor and

:21:17. > :21:20.

:21:20. > :21:27.Well, what a shocker of a break of! Not the start Ricky was looking for

:21:27. > :21:37.after the mid-session interval. That is probably the worst break

:21:37. > :21:41.

:21:41. > :21:51.Not what you want to do, especially after you had a chance to level it

:21:51. > :21:54.

:21:54. > :22:04.at 2-2. Shaun played right into the For some reason he felt he would

:22:04. > :22:08.

:22:08. > :22:13.pot the red, cannon the pink and He misjudged the cannon, but there

:22:13. > :22:22.are plenty of open reds. It was amazing he wanted to bring them

:22:22. > :22:29.more into play. -- bring them all into play. He can quite easily get

:22:29. > :22:39.onto the black in a couple of shots. He can't do it from here, but red

:22:39. > :23:18.

:23:19. > :23:28.In a couple of shots time, he can That is a fantastic shot if he is

:23:29. > :23:29.

:23:29. > :24:13.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds

:24:13. > :24:20.He might just have got away with that. He hasn't finished on the red

:24:20. > :24:28.he played for. He was playing for the red just above and to the left

:24:28. > :24:38.of the black. I don't know whether he hit it too hard. It looks as if

:24:38. > :24:42.

:24:42. > :24:50.he just hit it too hard, but he has A great chance. But he did play a

:24:50. > :25:00.super shot a couple of shots ago. We can show you that shot. Reverse

:25:00. > :25:00.

:25:00. > :25:06.He is not hanging about! It is as if he has come out after the mid-

:25:06. > :25:11.session interval with a purpose. That purpose is to win the frame as

:25:11. > :25:21.quickly as possible. Especially after the break off shot Ricky

:25:21. > :25:21.

:25:21. > :25:27.Walden made. Average shot time is just 21 seconds. They are all there

:25:27. > :25:37.for the taking now. This frame will not last very long, the way it is

:25:37. > :25:52.

:25:52. > :25:56.Ricky was in the players' room and he was just chatting to his manager,

:25:56. > :26:02.probably getting himself psyched up to come out again. He probably said

:26:02. > :26:12.it should have been to will, but never mind, 3-1, long way to go,

:26:12. > :26:32.

:26:32. > :26:38.let's make a good start. But he His highest break was in the

:26:38. > :26:48.opening frame. A very nice clearance of 79. This has been very

:26:48. > :27:04.

:27:04. > :27:09.If you want a lesson in cue action and how to control the cue ball,

:27:09. > :27:16.make sure you are in control of your cue. One of the ways you do

:27:16. > :27:21.that is buy a controlling -- is by controlling the backswing, the

:27:21. > :27:31.final pullback, which is slow and controlled and much more deliberate

:27:31. > :27:40.than any of the preparatory Slow and deliberate backswing means

:27:40. > :27:50.you are totally in control when you Yes, a little bit like your golf

:27:50. > :27:54.

:27:54. > :28:04.This young man at the table is a pretty good golfer as well. He

:28:04. > :28:11.

:28:11. > :28:19.The frame is well and truly over. A nice pair of Daisy's! You could get

:28:19. > :28:24.on Strictly Come Dancing with those. I think it is raining outside.

:28:34. > :28:49.

:28:49. > :28:56.We've already had 10 centuries so far in this year's Masters. Shaun

:28:56. > :29:02.Harrad 34 centuries last season. 18 and counting this season. 249 in

:29:02. > :29:08.his career, he is a bit of a break- builder. He yes, he is very much a

:29:08. > :29:14.player in form. Ricky Walden can do just the same given the opportunity,

:29:14. > :29:22.but he has not been firing on all cylinders. This man has been

:29:22. > :29:32.threatening it all night. A super pink to make the 11th

:29:32. > :29:38.

:29:38. > :29:48.He doesn't miss many with the rest either. He has put it away and he

:30:44. > :30:50.a terrific break of 130, he extends Murphy had his chance in frame six

:30:50. > :30:54.took stretches advantage further, but he failed to take it. In frame

:30:54. > :31:04.seven, both players have had their chances. It is Murphy to play, he

:31:04. > :31:31.

:31:31. > :31:40.Had to swerve that about eight Has he got a good angle to get

:31:40. > :31:44.close to the yellow? I think he has. Having said that, it looks to be

:31:44. > :31:50.pretty straight, so does he have to screw back off the baulk cushion?

:31:50. > :31:54.If it is straight, he would have to do that. He wants to get as close

:31:54. > :32:04.to this yellow as possible. In potting the green, he cart stay

:32:04. > :32:10.

:32:10. > :32:15.that close to it. -- cannot stay Well, a reprieve for Ricky after a

:32:15. > :32:22.very risky attempt at that part. In hindsight, he would have been

:32:22. > :32:25.happier playing the safety shot. There is a few little things

:32:25. > :32:33.happening out there and Shaun Murphy is going to have to be

:32:33. > :32:40.careful. He looked in complete And all of a sudden it is changing

:32:40. > :32:48.by the minute. Green over the pocket, no guarantees whatsoever to

:32:48. > :32:57.get perfect position on this brown. Just hit the cushion before the

:32:58. > :33:03.green to make sure you get some way He has hit it a little bit too hard.

:33:03. > :33:13.Not bad, though. He will settle for that. He was trying to play for the

:33:13. > :33:25.

:33:25. > :33:35.He just needs the blue, and all of a sudden, we have got a match and

:33:35. > :33:38.

:33:38. > :33:48.Shaun Murphy had an earlier break of 47 and he should have really one

:33:48. > :34:10.

:34:10. > :34:17.Can he now levels things up? Here That was the only thing I was

:34:17. > :34:24.worried about. He sort of didn't really concentrate on getting on

:34:24. > :34:30.the black, and now he is faced with a tough cut back. He is bound to be

:35:26. > :35:32.He has got so many choices, sometimes you can get yourself a

:35:32. > :35:42.little bit confused! You're usually playing for one particular ball.

:35:42. > :35:55.

:35:55. > :36:04.They're all sort of positional It is amazing how this match has

:36:04. > :36:08.turned right around. But for two good split on a pack of red, Shaun

:36:21. > :36:25.He missed the green in the frame before and he has missed the black

:36:25. > :36:35.off that spot, but he can consider himself a little unlucky, the way

:36:38. > :36:48.From Ricky's perspective, what a great chance. He will have the

:39:44. > :39:52.This match started out the best of 11. Very shortly it is going to be

:39:53. > :39:59.the best of three. Good performances from Ricky. He has

:39:59. > :40:05.over screwed that by quite a way. He is 59 ahead with a possible 59,

:41:29. > :41:35.A great fightback, but Murphy took frame nine, so was now just a one

:44:32. > :44:39.want to end it there. A, dear. There was a few ways of playing

:44:39. > :44:44.that and that wasn't one of them. A bit of hope for Shaun Murphy here.

:44:44. > :44:54.He couldn't have left it in a worse position, leaving it dead straight

:44:58. > :45:04.in line with the pink and black. A That was a shocker of a brown, to

:45:43. > :45:48.He may have got away with it. He Up and down just past the pink is

:45:48. > :45:52.risky. He's going to have to play it that way, try and play the blue

:46:50. > :46:51.

:46:51. > :46:56.He declared a foul on himself! And all of a sudden, the match is over.

:46:56. > :47:03.I didn't see what happened there. But Ricky did declare a foul on

:47:03. > :47:07.himself and what a way to lose the match! Absolutely amazing. What

:47:07. > :47:17.happened there? It just shows you that the game of snooker, the

:47:42. > :47:47.

:47:47. > :47:53.It has been a valiant effort, as I say, but not just enough. A Shaun

:48:03. > :48:08.He looked comfortable, but in the I tried my hardest today, I gave it

:48:08. > :48:13.everything, but it wasn't good enough. My performance was pretty

:48:13. > :48:18.good out there, start to finish, I let him off, missed too many balls.

:48:18. > :48:22.It will always catch up with you. It doesn't matter if you have a

:48:22. > :48:26.tough one at the start, as long as you win, it doesn't matter.

:48:26. > :48:30.Somebody said to me, don't worry about winning the first frame, try

:48:30. > :48:36.and win the last one. Little sporting cliches, this sounds

:48:36. > :48:41.stupid but they do carry some weight. I'm just pleased to be 3.

:48:41. > :48:45.Excellent sportsmanship in the final frame. It is the small matter
