:00:51. > :01:12.Good evening. It has been an exciting day of
:01:13. > :01:15.Good evening. It has been an at the Welsh Open. We have had it
:01:16. > :01:26.all. Welshman, will champions and former winners. But tonight, no
:01:27. > :01:31.doubt about the star attraction. Judd Trump's technique is absolutely
:01:32. > :01:35.superb. All left-handed players appear to get through the ball a lot
:01:36. > :01:40.better than other players. He plays shots on the super table that only
:01:41. > :01:44.Jimmy White can play. He tends to throw the old cue at it and that is
:01:45. > :01:49.a lot down to temperament and that is something Judd Trump, if he works
:01:50. > :01:54.hard enough, we'll get him back to being world number one again. I
:01:55. > :01:58.sometimes think he goes for that shock to many. He is a
:01:59. > :02:03.crowd-pleaser. You have got to forget about the crowd. I am all in
:02:04. > :02:10.favour of being entertaining snooker but don't push that boundary to put
:02:11. > :02:14.-- too far. There has always been that question about dedication. We
:02:15. > :02:18.know he likes fast cars and going out late at night. But to win the
:02:19. > :02:24.top tournaments, his dedication has got to be a little better. He plays
:02:25. > :02:29.some of the most fantastic shots. One of the greatest potters I have
:02:30. > :02:33.ever seen in the game. But sometimes his shot selection leaves a bit to
:02:34. > :02:39.be desired. He could have been world champion in 2011. He took time over
:02:40. > :02:44.a blue and for me took the wrong shot in the end. John Higgins when
:02:45. > :02:49.the frame. Judd Trump would have gone for frames ahead and I think he
:02:50. > :02:54.would have been world champion. It could be down to shot selection, he
:02:55. > :02:59.may go for that one shot too many. I think he needs to play a bit better
:03:00. > :03:03.safety. That will create the chances. And if he does get the
:03:04. > :03:09.chances, we know how good he is, and his record will improve.
:03:10. > :03:13.His opponent tonight was Jamie Burnett. Judd Trump got off to a
:03:14. > :03:15.good start, winning the first two frames. We are going to join it in
:03:16. > :03:25.frame three. The reds are going to go everywhere.
:03:26. > :03:31.You have got to say that was a bit of a lunatic shot. As we have just
:03:32. > :03:33.said, this is the way he plays and that is why he is exciting. But that
:03:34. > :03:47.was never the shot. He obviously fancied it. If it had
:03:48. > :03:49.gone in, we would be saying, what a great shot that was, opening the
:03:50. > :03:59.reds out. That is one of the good things about
:04:00. > :04:03.the game. Everybody has got their own shot selection. Some players
:04:04. > :04:09.push the boat out a bit more than others. One of the beauties of the
:04:10. > :04:19.game. You stand and fall by what you decide.
:04:20. > :04:27.Jamie Burnett has got the chance now. A very thin cut, he took on
:04:28. > :04:38.there. He has got to do something here
:04:39. > :04:43.otherwise Trump will be all over him Mike Ross. He missed that pink to
:04:44. > :04:48.otherwise Trump will be all over him win the first frame. Since then he
:04:49. > :05:25.has not had much opportunity. He has lost the cue ball there. He
:05:26. > :05:30.will be very disappointed with that last shot. You still expect him to
:05:31. > :05:37.pot the black but he is going to can then into a couple of these reds.
:05:38. > :05:45.He has done but he is still in a nice position so his break marches
:05:46. > :05:53.on. This is imperative for Jamie Burnett to try and make this effort
:05:54. > :05:56.had Judd Trump as much as he can. Send a message, if you are going to
:05:57. > :06:03.play shots like that against me, I am going to take my chance. What is
:06:04. > :06:09.he thinking? He looks as if he does not care to me. He always looks like
:06:10. > :06:18.that, doesn't he? He does not show anything.
:06:19. > :06:25.It could be called peace of mind, other people would call it
:06:26. > :06:38.arrogance. Having said that, you have got to have a bit
:06:39. > :06:50.A nice easy shot, red, pink, red, pink. Not too much pressure on
:06:51. > :06:54.himself. One thing is for sure, when you are playing against the top
:06:55. > :06:59.players, you are aware that when the balls are set like this, if you do
:07:00. > :07:14.not make them, they will get up and win the frame at the first chance.
:07:15. > :07:26.Here is the shot that gave Jimmy Burnett -- Jamie Burnett this chance
:07:27. > :07:33.he is on now. He certainly moved a few reds. As a matter of fact, he
:07:34. > :07:39.moved all of them. Yes, like you said, you have got to do what you
:07:40. > :07:44.feel when you are out there but he took total control in this match and
:07:45. > :07:49.all of a sudden he has handed a lifeline back to Jamie Burnett. If
:07:50. > :07:55.it had gone in, it would have looked fantastic, but it was a crazy shot.
:07:56. > :09:23.Now he is sat in his chair and he has got to wait.
:09:24. > :09:34.It is getting to the stage now where he is thinking, I had better make
:09:35. > :09:36.sure of this. Vital not to do that really but it is just in our nature
:09:37. > :09:48.to do it. A few good positional shots now and
:09:49. > :09:51.he will be home and dry in this frame. Keep the cue ball under
:09:52. > :11:02.control, take the pressure off him. The black goes in. To snooker is
:11:03. > :11:16.required now if Judd Trump was to get back to the table.
:11:17. > :11:25.Even if he was to miss now, Judd Trump will stay sat in his chair.
:11:26. > :11:34.This has been a good effort from Jamie Burnett. The match was totally
:11:35. > :11:39.getting away from him. He would not have expected the chance he was
:11:40. > :11:48.given. Nevertheless, he has taken it. No century. A terrific break
:11:49. > :11:53.given. Nevertheless, he has taken 80 do to that crazy shot on the red
:11:54. > :11:59.into the left corner. He now cuts his deficit.
:12:00. > :12:03.Jamie Burnett feeling a lot better heading into frame for where Trump
:12:04. > :12:19.is trailing by 12. That is a great shot. You need good
:12:20. > :12:35.eyes to play those. 94% success for Judd Trump.
:12:36. > :12:50.He did not want to give a free ball. It is all happening. Yes, he has got
:12:51. > :12:53.a free shot. He is going to go for this brown in the left centre
:12:54. > :12:56.knowing that if he misses it, he will still leave Jamie Burnett in a
:12:57. > :13:16.snooker. Well, he did not get the brown but
:13:17. > :13:20.he got the second prize. That is his fourth chance in this frame, Judd
:13:21. > :13:26.Trump, and he will be a little disappointed at the moment. He is
:13:27. > :13:32.not getting another chance here because that has gone safe. You can
:13:33. > :13:36.never be certain of weary red goes when you are playing
:13:37. > :13:43.never be certain of weary red goes based ace mugger but Jamie Burnett
:13:44. > :13:54.will be happy with where that has finished. -- to get out of a
:13:55. > :13:56.snooker. Plenty of distance between the two balls. You can see his
:13:57. > :14:14.awkward bridging on the cushion. That will go back, I should think.
:14:15. > :14:20.Trump is having a think about it but this is a very difficult shot. And
:14:21. > :14:29.if he misses it this time, I am not sure if he can see it full ball. He
:14:30. > :14:37.can. If he misses it this time, the referee will be warning him. If it
:14:38. > :14:40.is three times on the spin, it will be frame conceded. He has still got
:14:41. > :14:59.one go at it. If you look at this type of shot,
:15:00. > :15:11.you are actually aiming to miss the red to edit. -- two hit it. If you
:15:12. > :15:17.look at the tip of the cue, it is pointing the other side of the red.
:15:18. > :15:22.Is there a warning here? He is warning him now. He has got to hit
:15:23. > :15:32.the red this time or he is losing the frame. That only occurs if you
:15:33. > :15:33.can see the ball for long. He can't be playing the same shot again,
:15:34. > :15:49.surely. Let's say, he made sure he hit it.
:15:50. > :15:56.And as it turned out, he has got a very good result out of it. Jamie
:15:57. > :16:05.Burnett, from being 44 points in front and in the balls, is now level
:16:06. > :16:14.at 45-45. I am not sure if Judd Trump can pot this and get on a
:16:15. > :16:46.colour. No value. A good safety shot.
:16:47. > :16:56.He's not going to argue about that one. He is still face now with a
:16:57. > :16:59.difficult shot. If that you bought had travelled a little bit further
:17:00. > :17:03.up the table, he would have had an easy brown. I don't think he is
:17:04. > :17:05.going to hold for the yellow. easy brown. I don't think he is
:17:06. > :17:10.will be playing this perfect weight. easy brown. I don't think he is
:17:11. > :17:13.He might play with a little bit of force and try and come up and down
:17:14. > :17:19.the table. Well, he has played a perfect
:17:20. > :17:50.weight. It is a bit of an ask this one.
:17:51. > :18:03.Trump does not turn a lot down. That was a very poor shot. He misjudged
:18:04. > :18:16.the angle. Coming off the cushion, there.
:18:17. > :18:28.APPLAUSE. It all depends how he feels. This
:18:29. > :18:37.pot down past the black. He has looked at it and given it a thought.
:18:38. > :18:41.It is available. If he had played it at speed, he could have covered it
:18:42. > :18:43.with the black if he had missed it and been on the green if he had got
:18:44. > :19:02.it. He has played some very good safety
:19:03. > :19:16.shot. Judd Trump, that is. Very good.
:19:17. > :19:33.A bigshot now. Under normal circumstances, you would fancy him
:19:34. > :19:37.to knock this in. And this is, as far as he is concerned, normal
:19:38. > :19:44.circumstances. He queued that lovely. He made that green look
:19:45. > :20:11.really easy as well. Obviously, Jamie Burnett would have
:20:12. > :20:16.thought he was going to level this matchup, and now that blue has gone
:20:17. > :20:23.in and that cue ball is coming down on the pink, he is going to go in
:20:24. > :20:27.three frames behind. He will be very disappointed. Two frames have got
:20:28. > :20:30.away from him which he probably should have won. Judd Trump will be
:20:31. > :20:36.quite happy. Trump extending his lead after that
:20:37. > :20:39.rather dubious game. Trump extending his lead after that
:20:40. > :20:45.just one more frame. Will it come in Trump extending his lead after that
:20:46. > :20:51.frame five where he has built up a 14 point lead?
:20:52. > :21:08.Has he played it hard enough to see the black? I think he is OK.
:21:09. > :22:03.He's taking the more difficult red on with the rest.
:22:04. > :22:07.A change of shot selection there. You would think he would have taken
:22:08. > :22:33.the other red on. That's nicely played. Side spin to
:22:34. > :22:52.hold for the blue. In a great position now.
:22:53. > :22:59.Trying to get past the one red to the potting angle.
:23:00. > :23:13.Looks like he can. Straight into the yellow pocket.
:23:14. > :23:20.Again, he's cued it very, very well. Still a lot of work to do with that
:23:21. > :23:29.cue ball. Could have done with that cue ball slowing down. This will
:23:30. > :23:33.take a good shot. I don't know whether he can miss the cannon on
:23:34. > :23:38.the brown. If he does miss the cannon on the brown, coming off the
:23:39. > :23:53.two cushions he will come on the yellow.
:23:54. > :23:59.If he gets on the last red, the brown is the ball, I suppose. What
:24:00. > :24:09.an awkward pot that is. What a big shot. If that brown was on-the-spot
:24:10. > :24:20.He's 23 points behind, so it might between the brown and the green.
:24:21. > :24:22.He's 23 points behind, so it might be a good safety is the call of the
:24:23. > :24:54.day. That could have been worse. Very
:24:55. > :25:06.thin cut, if it's available. Well, well. He over cut it. Has he
:25:07. > :25:37.got the snooker? It's tight. Maybe with a swerve
:25:38. > :25:42.round the blue. He maybe doesn't need to swerve round the blue.
:25:43. > :25:48.You wouldn't think it would be possible you could over cut that
:25:49. > :26:31.red. It's been a good match. Jamie
:26:32. > :26:44.Burnett certainly played his part in it.
:26:45. > :26:54.Oh. Judd Trump, despite the high break of 49 in this match, still
:26:55. > :27:00.goes through winning four frames to one. He should have won. He had a
:27:01. > :27:04.good chance at the start. I nickeded it off him. I thought after that I
:27:05. > :27:09.would enough to get over the line. I had a bit of bad run in the last
:27:10. > :27:15.frame. I had a bad kick when I was clearing up. Other than that, I felt
:27:16. > :27:19.good. I felt comfortable. Mark Selby has a special affection for the
:27:20. > :27:23.Welsh Open. This is where he won his first ranking title. Today, his
:27:24. > :27:27.second round opponent was experienced pro Dave Harold,
:27:28. > :27:32.currently ranked 53 in the world. It was a slow start to the match with
:27:33. > :27:36.Selby taking a 2-1 lead. Frame four was something special. We join it
:27:37. > :27:41.now with Harold building a decent break.
:27:42. > :27:49.COMMENTATOR: He is probably going to need the yellow in addition to
:27:50. > :27:59.winning the frame in this visit. . It mitt it -- it's not quite all
:28:00. > :28:03.done and dusted yet in this fourth frame.
:28:04. > :28:12.I think he has already looked at the score board to realise that a pink
:28:13. > :28:17.off the last red will leave Mark needing snookers. The yellow's not
:28:18. > :28:22.in an easy position. He played that the best. At least he can get onto
:28:23. > :28:24.the pink from here. He would have liked it a little bit straighter
:28:25. > :29:57.than this. That's one of the reasons why I
:29:58. > :30:03.thought he might take the pink off that last red, rather than the blue.
:30:04. > :30:05.He's got second prize. He's snookered. 27 points in front, with
:30:06. > :30:16.27 points on. Can he see any side of this yellow?
:30:17. > :30:23.Not without any side. He can't avoid the kiss on the black if he plays
:30:24. > :30:28.that yellow. If he sees as much as he can hit he will cannon into the
:30:29. > :30:42.black with the cue ball. He may try and swerve it a little bit.
:30:43. > :31:27.How he's got to miss the kiss on the black. Well played.
:31:28. > :31:34.Unlike David to play such a careless safety shot. You can forgive him for
:31:35. > :31:43.not getting the good cue ball, object ball, shouldn't have been
:31:44. > :31:48.anywhere near that corner pocket. It's given Mark a chance to pot
:31:49. > :32:38.these six and force a respot. If you had to pick one or two
:32:39. > :32:40.players to clear up under a pressure situation, Mark Selby would
:32:41. > :32:48.definitely be in that two. He does it time and time again. He's
:32:49. > :32:50.going to have to pot another black after this one because it's going to
:32:51. > :33:03.be a respot. Excellent clearance of the colours
:33:04. > :33:05.so far, but it's still not over yet. Mark Selby makes that 27 break to
:33:06. > :33:31.tie the scores at 59-59. Mark Selby won the toss and put
:33:32. > :33:38.David in to bet. Dave has pushed it there and played it pretty well.
:33:39. > :33:44.Yesterday evening I was practicing respotted blacks with Dave in the
:33:45. > :33:51.practice room. A little best of nine. I wonder if this will stand
:33:52. > :33:57.him in good stead. Did he win the best of nice or lose? He hammered
:33:58. > :34:00.me. Absolute bandit, Willie, honestly. Might stand him in good
:34:01. > :34:21.stead then. One of those where Mark might decide
:34:22. > :34:26.to play cushion first here and leave the white where the black is, the
:34:27. > :34:30.angle of the black will hit the cushion before the middle pocket. If
:34:31. > :34:34.he gets the weight right, he should get the black safe. That's what he's
:34:35. > :34:39.looking at. Definitely the shot for me this. If you get too much side on
:34:40. > :34:40.it, you come into the right off the black, sometimes you can in go off
:34:41. > :34:54.if you catch too much of the black. Perfect to play that shot. It really
:34:55. > :35:08.was. As long as you got the weight right, you were bound to get a good
:35:09. > :35:12.black. This is just about the worse position to play safe from. You
:35:13. > :35:16.could play this ten times and leave it on ten times because, unless you
:35:17. > :35:18.get the black tight on the cushion, you're bound to leave some sort of
:35:19. > :35:20.shot. Yeah, I think here he has to put his
:35:21. > :35:33.trust in the table. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
:35:34. > :36:08.Well done. Well done. For a second I thought he did it a
:36:09. > :36:17.fraction too hard. Does this cut? I don't think so, at first glance. A
:36:18. > :36:21.matter-of-fact, I'm sure it doesn't cut.
:36:22. > :36:26.He's just looking to see if he can cross double it. He could play a
:36:27. > :36:33.thin safety, leave a cue ball towards the far left corner. Oh,
:36:34. > :36:38.he's just used the pocket and put the black on the baulk cushion. The
:36:39. > :36:45.black needs to stop. It's cuttable. This is a chance for Mark.
:36:46. > :36:49.Takes a little bit of pressure off this shot knowing that Mark is bound
:36:50. > :37:04.to get a good white. Well, what a frame of snooker. Dave
:37:05. > :37:09.Harold will be horrified he lost that game. Mark Mark leads 3-1. For
:37:10. > :37:13.that point on Selby didn't look back. He took the fifth frame as
:37:14. > :37:19.well for a 4-1 victory. Here are some of the other winners today.
:37:20. > :37:24.Defending Champion, Stephen Maguire, squeezed into round three with a 4-3
:37:25. > :37:31.victory over Englishman Sam Baird. He came back from 3-1 down to keep
:37:32. > :37:36.the defence of his title alive. Too close for comfort. I think Sam lost
:37:37. > :37:43.it more than what I won it there. He was 3-1 up. To be honest, he had the
:37:44. > :37:48.balls perfect when when he was 40... 48 up. He missed a pa bad pink in
:37:49. > :37:54.the middle that changed the whole game really. Matthew Stevens
:37:55. > :38:03.progressed with a 4-2 ribth victory over Ian Burns. The 2003 UK Champion
:38:04. > :38:07.will play Joe Perry in the last 32. Fantastic. It's a shame I haven't
:38:08. > :38:13.really produced my best snooker here over the years. I keep trying,
:38:14. > :38:18.hopefully I can kick on this week and get to the latter stages. Also
:38:19. > :38:24.through, fellow Welshman Dominic Dale, the shoot-out champ game
:38:25. > :38:29.through an entertaining clash with Dechawat Poomjaeng with a 4-1
:38:30. > :38:38.victory this morning. He will play Mark Selby in the last 32. In the
:38:39. > :38:45.other matches: John Higgins beat Ken Doherty 4-0.
:38:46. > :38:53.Andrew Pagett is through, 4-3 against Gerard Greene. A good day
:38:54. > :38:58.for the homegrown players with the odd exception. The big beast of
:38:59. > :39:05.Welsh snooker is in action tomorrow. You can see Mark Williams match
:39:06. > :39:11.tomorrow afternoon. We are on air from 1.00pm on BBC Two Wales. Please
:39:12. > :39:12.join us if you can. From u all of us here at the Newport Centre, good
:39:13. > :39:17.night.
