:00:32. > :00:41.Hello. Good evening. Welcome back to the Crucible Theatre. It is the
:00:42. > :00:49.final day of the 2017 BetFred world super championship. First of all we
:00:50. > :00:53.have Mark Selby who had a 6-2 overnight lead over Marco Fu.
:00:54. > :00:58.Beliefs were -- stretch to 11-3 this morning and he was looking to win in
:00:59. > :01:12.the two sections. This is what happened in frame 15.
:01:13. > :01:18.He was definitely playing for the cue ball to hit the side cushion
:01:19. > :01:19.first. The potted the red in the right-hand side of the pocket as he
:01:20. > :01:49.looked it. This is a tough black. Brilliant. Cuts are easier when you
:01:50. > :02:07.have an eight frame lead but that is still excellent cueing.
:02:08. > :02:11.Three or four shots ago there were about eight threads on the back
:02:12. > :02:16.crush on in the black was there was well and now all of a sudden after
:02:17. > :02:22.this next black he should get rid of the black that is stopping the red
:02:23. > :02:26.-- he should get rid of the red that is stopping the black potting in the
:02:27. > :02:30.left-hand corner. This is a very strange game. He doesn't really want
:02:31. > :02:47.to lose the black onto the brown spot here, he wants it to spot. 16.
:02:48. > :03:46.Seven. 32. With those reds on the black
:03:47. > :03:49.push and he will obviously finish low every time on the black because
:03:50. > :04:07.he doesn't want to stun of the cushion. 33.
:04:08. > :04:12.40 points ahead now so he is going to be able to win this frame without
:04:13. > :04:25.doing anything of out those awkward rents. -- about those awkward reds.
:04:26. > :04:28.You can see the determination in the face of Mark Selby. He was so
:04:29. > :04:37.disappointed to lose the last frame and he made a break of 57. At least
:04:38. > :04:42.if he wins this frame he has a chance of closing the match out
:04:43. > :04:44.before tonight 's final session. He knows this is a great chance now to
:04:45. > :05:49.lead 12-3. Well, he thought he had a very bad
:05:50. > :05:54.contact there. The obviously played for the pink in the corner of but he
:05:55. > :05:59.felt he got a very heavy contact and he took all of the pace out of the
:06:00. > :06:36.cue ball. You saw the red bounce and leave the table.
:06:37. > :07:22.62. So, red, pink, red. 63. So, one frame left in this session, one
:07:23. > :07:26.frame needed by Mark Selby. What willpower, what desire has Marco Fu
:07:27. > :07:48.got left to bring this match tour final session tonight?
:07:49. > :07:53.It goes without saying that Marco Fu has not really been at the races in
:07:54. > :07:58.this match but the way that Mark Selby has gone about it has been so
:07:59. > :08:06.clinical. He is playing one of the best players in the world here and
:08:07. > :08:18.he is 12-3 in front. He is cueing brilliantly. Four or five cushions.
:08:19. > :08:51.That will do it. 84. No he could not actually see that
:08:52. > :08:54.red, he had to use the left-hand side to bend that cue ball which is
:08:55. > :09:06.why he could not play a proper positional shot. The pockets really
:09:07. > :09:09.seem like buckets at the moment Mark Selby, to put the black in the
:09:10. > :09:28.middle at that pace and at that angle.
:09:29. > :09:46.This for the century. Is it there? It is. Brilliant.
:09:47. > :10:01.The chance of making the first 140 plus break in this championship now.
:10:02. > :10:05.A possible 143. Incredible. The last few shots have just been, to keep
:10:06. > :10:11.this break going, have just been incredible. 108. I don't think I can
:10:12. > :10:12.remember session where there have been three total clearance is in an
:10:13. > :10:35.eight frame session. I have no marks since he has been a
:10:36. > :10:40.12-year-old lad and he has played thousands of frames but I don't
:10:41. > :10:46.think I have seen him play better. No he is in a great place at the
:10:47. > :10:50.moment. The game is just seeming so easy. He has finished a bit straight
:10:51. > :11:07.on this green, though. He may just have to play for the brown one of
:11:08. > :11:13.the middle pockets. 121. He is screwing this off the push aside,
:11:14. > :11:23.what a shot this will be. Stop it! 125. He potted the black in the
:11:24. > :11:27.middle at 1000 miles an hour and then brown in the middle at 1000
:11:28. > :11:31.miles an hour. Kyren Wilson made the biggest break last at 143 and this
:11:32. > :11:48.will equal that. Does he have to go in and out of baulk once more?
:11:49. > :12:07.Magnificent. That was one of the best century breaks I've ever seen.
:12:08. > :12:11.An unbelievable break. Highest break of the championship so far, 143 and
:12:12. > :12:17.Mark Selby needs the last frame of this session to win the match. A
:12:18. > :12:21.lovely touch from Marco Fu, applauding Mark Selby and in this
:12:22. > :12:27.form he will take some stopping. He was quite brilliant today but Marco
:12:28. > :12:34.Fu, something was clearly not right at all today. Mark Selby is into yet
:12:35. > :12:39.another semifinal here. I think that is the first time I
:12:40. > :12:42.have one with a session to spare and normally I am being taken off and
:12:43. > :12:47.there is another session going on. Really, really happy. The best match
:12:48. > :12:50.I have played here for a long while, especially consistency, scoring wise
:12:51. > :12:53.it felt as though I was playing well in the first session yesterday
:12:54. > :12:57.against Marco Fu. I felt I controlled the game and I could have
:12:58. > :13:01.possibly come out 5-3 and I would have been disappointed but 6-2 was
:13:02. > :13:05.huge and is seen to continue the momentum today. The way I perform at
:13:06. > :13:20.the moment is probably the perfect way if I could have planned it.
:13:21. > :13:25.Just play really good match snooker in the first two matches and then to
:13:26. > :13:27.pick up as you go along as I did in the game against Marco. I just hope
:13:28. > :13:30.I have not peaked too soon. Tonight he was back in this practice room
:13:31. > :13:32.and getting ready for a huge semifinal. Next up is Ding Junhui
:13:33. > :13:34.against Ronnie O'Sullivan. Ding Junhui had a lead overnight and then
:13:35. > :13:40.Ronnie O'Sullivan cut the deficit to two frames and then doing one
:13:41. > :14:06.another. Then this... What a pot. What a pot.
:14:07. > :14:12.He just needs to get that Reddaway, the one that is to the right of the
:14:13. > :14:19.black, and I think he can play for it here. Maybe not this time, but
:14:20. > :14:24.certainly the next time. As long as he gets the correct angle this time.
:14:25. > :14:29.He wants that rednecks to his hand out of the way. Then the black will
:14:30. > :14:55.be clear into both corner pockets. You could not have the reds in a
:14:56. > :14:59.better position. We have had a magnificent, one of the best breaks
:15:00. > :15:08.I have ever seen, 143, from Mark Selby this morning. This could be
:15:09. > :15:22.better. Was certainly a higher break. I know you don't want to say
:15:23. > :15:42.it, but it is all right is, and all blacks -- Allred 's and all blacks.
:15:43. > :16:37.The first thing is to make sure you score enough to take the frame, a
:16:38. > :16:43.frame that he badly needs, as the boys in the studio were saying.
:16:44. > :16:55.12-8, you wouldn't give him much of a chance. 11-9 all to play for.
:16:56. > :17:04.Yes, I think pretty much as soon as he potted red and then black, he
:17:05. > :17:09.would be thinking about it. Then it will be for the glory of making a
:17:10. > :17:17.maximum at the Crucible. It won't be the prize thinking about. Because
:17:18. > :17:23.that is, well we work it into it too much, because it is disappointing.
:17:24. > :17:33.There is ?10,000 for the high break, but there is only ?5,000 for a
:17:34. > :17:37.maximum break so... This sitting absolutely perfect, and the last
:17:38. > :17:43.gentleman to make a maximum break in the Crucible Theatre is not too far
:17:44. > :17:51.from me. In 2012, that is not the kiss he wanted. He is smiling,
:17:52. > :17:58.Ronnie, and the cannon has kept him on the black. He is smiling. He is
:17:59. > :18:19.looking at Stephen Hendry in the commentary box. He was trying to pot
:18:20. > :18:25.the blue. He is a naughty boy! 86. He tried to get on it but he didn't
:18:26. > :18:30.manage it. Well, he has done it 13 times. He could still beat the
:18:31. > :18:41.highest break. It is 143, as we mentioned. 103. Well, even Ding
:18:42. > :18:53.Junhui was smiling in his seat there, match on! Let's just say, I
:18:54. > :19:05.don't think he was giving it 110%. 111. 112. Still under six minutes,
:19:06. > :19:06.just coming up to six minutes for this. Quite... Outstanding. Under
:19:07. > :19:24.the circumstances. 121. 124. He is flying around the table
:19:25. > :19:31.at the moment and he is still smiling up at Stephen Hendry. We had
:19:32. > :19:37.to wait over a week for 140 or above break and now a nice finish on the
:19:38. > :19:51.blue and the Wii will have two in the space of a few hours. Absolutely
:19:52. > :19:57.incredible. Don't miss the black, Ronnie. Genius! And he hasn't.
:19:58. > :20:02.Ronnie O'Sullivan, what a break he has made there! He has made the
:20:03. > :20:07.highest break of this year 's World Championship, a magnificent 146, and
:20:08. > :20:12.he goes to the mid-session interval just two behind, 11-9. What a match
:20:13. > :20:18.this could be! A joy to watch. 12-10. Could Ding Junhui win it in
:20:19. > :20:23.the end? Here really is playing next. Back to Dennis and Stephen. He
:20:24. > :20:28.scattered everything all over the table and he is on the blue. Another
:20:29. > :20:34.terrific chance for the Chinese player. Almost got into the semi
:20:35. > :20:43.final in the last frame, can he do it this time? Yes, he has just got
:20:44. > :20:52.to really concentrate on one shot at a time.
:20:53. > :20:58.Already he is putting a little careless one. He may have to just
:20:59. > :21:01.cannon into the three reds that are together. If only just to stop the
:21:02. > :21:18.pace of the cue ball. That has worked out OK. It has
:21:19. > :21:20.worked out perfect. He can play for the black. The black or the pink
:21:21. > :21:40.here. What a chance! That looked harmless enough shot,
:21:41. > :21:56.didn't it, Dennis, when Ronnie was playing into the back of the bunch?
:21:57. > :21:59.Yes, it was Ding Junhui 's safety shot that left Ronnie in an awkward
:22:00. > :22:09.spot. Just clicked off colour and got in the brown. -- in behind the
:22:10. > :22:24.brown. It didn't matter what side of the blue he got to there. But like
:22:25. > :22:28.you, Stephen, I thought Ronnie, coming off two cushions, would have
:22:29. > :22:40.left everything safe, but he picks one out, did Ding Junhui. I don't
:22:41. > :22:45.think he was as close to the learner -- yellow one that last shot, he was
:22:46. > :22:48.just taken up a little bit, understandable after what happened
:22:49. > :23:07.on the last frame. This is not the blue he wanted to play. Safely in.
:23:08. > :23:16.If he doesn't win it from here, can he win the match? He has got to win
:23:17. > :23:32.it from here. He was a little unlucky in the
:23:33. > :23:43.previous frame when he was on 63 and to red over a pocket and it finished
:23:44. > :23:47.a little awkward. There is nothing that can really go wrong because the
:23:48. > :23:52.reds are there for him. The pinks are in the open and the black is
:23:53. > :24:01.available. He is not that many more pots away.
:24:02. > :24:07.This is a very important victory in Maguire 's career. I have to admit
:24:08. > :24:13.that I did not think he could beat Ronnie O'Sullivan over three
:24:14. > :24:17.sessions. He has got the game but I don't think he is mentally up for it
:24:18. > :24:21.but he has shown fantastic character, especially after what
:24:22. > :24:30.happened in the first game -- the last game, to come out and win this
:24:31. > :24:35.in one visit is very impressive. You see it is a 68 ahead with 67
:24:36. > :24:45.remaining. Ronnie gave it his best shot here. He made the highest break
:24:46. > :24:54.of this year 's World Championship, a magnificent 146, but he has been a
:24:55. > :24:59.big help to Ding Junhui in the past and, as I mentioned previously, it
:25:00. > :25:04.is ten years since Ding Junhui has beaten Ronnie but this, without
:25:05. > :25:07.doubt, even all the titles he has one, this will go down as one of his
:25:08. > :25:14.best matches ever, you would have to say. What a great feeling it is when
:25:15. > :25:17.you are clearing up and knowing that you are going to be playing in that
:25:18. > :25:21.one-table situation now at the Crucible. I used to love this pot,
:25:22. > :25:25.when you are clearing up in the quarterfinal, just to know that you
:25:26. > :25:28.are through to that stage. It is hard to describe to people how you
:25:29. > :25:38.are feeling inside, but you are absolutely delighted. Could he
:25:39. > :25:45.possibly clinch it with a century break?
:25:46. > :26:00.77. He has had eight centuries so far, more than any other player.
:26:01. > :26:15.This would be the 60th. If he goes on to make it. 85. It is all about
:26:16. > :26:19.the green, you would have to say. Showing terrific character here, is
:26:20. > :26:52.Ding Junhui, he really is. Nicely on the green. 92. 95. Can he
:26:53. > :27:09.get up to the blue? He certainly can. Absolutely fantastic. He is a
:27:10. > :27:16.Chinese sensation. He has won this most important match in style. 110.
:27:17. > :27:21.Ronnie will come forward and have a little chat with him and wish all
:27:22. > :27:26.the best the semifinal. It has been a cracking match all around. Some
:27:27. > :27:32.brilliant breaks. Ronnie smiles. That is lovely to say. Well done to
:27:33. > :27:37.the two players who gave it a fantastic match, but Ding Junhui is
:27:38. > :27:40.a little bit emotional there because he has beaten his idol, who he
:27:41. > :27:45.hadn't beaten the ten years, and he did it in style with that the
:27:46. > :27:49.magnificent century break. Well done to both players, but congratulations
:27:50. > :28:01.to Ding Junhui, you beat your idol, and you are through to the semifinal
:28:02. > :28:06.by 13-10. Just the second time I met him in the World Championship at
:28:07. > :28:14.this time I win. I played this lucre how I want. It was not a terrible
:28:15. > :28:23.result and I enjoyed myself. I couldn't pot a ball last night and
:28:24. > :28:28.now I am perfect to 146, that's their 147! I am looking forward to
:28:29. > :28:37.the game against Mark Selby. I think he is a top player, number one for a
:28:38. > :28:51.few years and he is good tactically and everything. Everything is
:28:52. > :28:52.stronger than before. I hope it will be OK. What a lovely interview. A
:28:53. > :28:54.repeat of the World Championship final from last year. Mark Selby
:28:55. > :28:58.will play the conqueror of the Rocket, Ding Junhui. In the bottom
:28:59. > :29:00.half of the draw no problems at all for another former king of the
:29:01. > :29:13.Crucible, John Higgins. Well, that time he caught the jaw,
:29:14. > :29:32.and it didn't go in. Very unexpected miss.
:29:33. > :29:37.Just one frame away from a place in the semifinal.
:29:38. > :30:06.Mmm. Oh, the vital frame ball. How many
:30:07. > :30:12.times do we see this? Well, he decided to go for it.
:30:13. > :30:15.It didn't matter about the blue and Sir David Higgins stays in his seat
:30:16. > :30:38.O John Higgins stays in his seat. John Higgins through to his eighth
:30:39. > :30:42.semifinal. Wins by 13 frames to six. There was no place like The Crucible
:30:43. > :30:47.when it is down to one table. Just deing lighted. 2011 was the last
:30:48. > :30:52.time, you have the thoughts where I was pretty close last year, you
:30:53. > :30:56.begin to think you are never going to get there again to sample it.
:30:57. > :31:01.Luckily enough from here, I would be willing to now go, go one better and
:31:02. > :31:07.get to the final. And John Higgins will play the winner of the Barry
:31:08. > :31:10.Hawkins Stephen Maguire match. Maguire won the first two of the
:31:11. > :31:17.evening session including a break of 135. Into frame 19. Maguire to break
:31:18. > :31:27.commentary from Willie Thorne and Steve Davis.
:31:28. > :31:35.Frame 19. Stephen Maguire to break. Delighted Stephen Maguire getting
:31:36. > :31:43.the 19th frame under way. Can he win the remaining two frames in this
:31:44. > :31:49.mini-session? Barry Hawkins needs to win one of
:31:50. > :31:55.these two frames otherwise he will be feeling that his, he is on the
:31:56. > :32:04.8-ball as it were. Very easy miss brown.
:32:05. > :32:12.Well, could that be the turning point? There is always something
:32:13. > :32:17.that changes matches. Missed it by a long, long way and
:32:18. > :32:21.when you consider the cue ball is supposed to be near the baulk line,
:32:22. > :32:26.it shows you how badly he hit it. Every time you play a shot like that
:32:27. > :32:32.and miss it, it puts a certain amount of spin on the red ball. It
:32:33. > :32:38.is always likely to go back against the line of dugs. As the player
:32:39. > :32:41.sitting in your ball is supposed to be near the baulk line, it shows you
:32:42. > :32:44.how badly he hit it. Every time you play a shot like that and miss it,
:32:45. > :32:47.it puts a certain amount of spin on the red ball. It is always likely to
:32:48. > :32:52.go back against the line of dugs. As the player sitting in your chair,
:32:53. > :32:57.you think "Oh, don't. Not that one". Sometimes you think it's not fair,
:32:58. > :33:02.because Stephen Maguire has done all the hard work to take them, seen
:33:03. > :33:06.baulk miss the two easy shots we have talked about and now he has
:33:07. > :33:10.been gifted an opportunity through good fortune rather than good shot.
:33:11. > :33:43.He will be seething. The red closest to the pack could be
:33:44. > :33:53.used to open the pack up a bit. Certainly blocking, using the black
:33:54. > :33:59.at the moment. You get low on that red perhaps you
:34:00. > :34:16.can pot it, glance across the pack. Nudge a few out.
:34:17. > :34:21.He has left it low as you suggested, Steve. It is one of those where he
:34:22. > :34:25.is going to have to stun it to make the cannon on the edge of the pack
:34:26. > :34:31.and of course then you have to play the stun run through so it breaks
:34:32. > :34:35.away from the pack. Could screw it back across the face
:34:36. > :34:44.of it. He has judged that pretty well.
:34:45. > :34:48.Every one of these balls that Barry Hawkins is potting will be hurting
:34:49. > :35:00.Stephen Maguire knowing it came off that amazing fluke, the first red.
:35:01. > :35:04.But from baulk's perspective, he o won't be feeling marvellous, so all
:35:05. > :35:38.of these are effectively helping him to recuperate.
:35:39. > :35:46.Three more loose reds, and probably will come some 60 odd points in
:35:47. > :35:55.front. He will have to come into that cluster of reds at some stage.
:35:56. > :35:59.Of course Barry Hawkins will know how much this is hurting Stephen
:36:00. > :36:03.Maguire. That is probably what has give him a bit of a boost, because
:36:04. > :36:10.he was not feeling good in the opening two frames.
:36:11. > :36:16.When you flick a couple of reds into play here, and glance off them. He
:36:17. > :36:21.can play for the blue but if he flicks another couple into play, go
:36:22. > :36:31.for the blue baulk colour, that makes things easier at this end of
:36:32. > :36:33.the table. Amazing how different people break
:36:34. > :36:46.differently. Now he will have to leave an angle
:36:47. > :36:54.on this blue to pot, get on the red and flick a couple of reds out.
:36:55. > :37:01.Just come a fraction too far. He is OK though, he can play that stun run
:37:02. > :37:08.through, beyond the pink or the black.
:37:09. > :37:19.It is all about that cannon. This could be a frame-winner, this shot.
:37:20. > :37:29.It looked like it may well be. Just catching the red thicker that would
:37:30. > :37:35.have slowed the white down, but... If he thinks he's can kiss the red
:37:36. > :37:40.ball loose on, he will play that. If he doesn't catch it full ball he

:38:07. > :38:13.Well it can be a cruel game sometimes, and this forum has
:38:14. > :38:18.certainly been cruel for Stephen Maguire.
:38:19. > :38:20.-- game. What a time to get a fluke when you haven't potted a ball for
:38:21. > :38:47.two frames. APPLAUSE The thing about it, is if
:38:48. > :38:50.Barry Hawkins was totally reeling, everyone the fluke isn't good
:38:51. > :38:59.enough, because he messes the positional play up, so this, this is
:39:00. > :39:02.an excellent effort, because no, obviously he didn't play the fluke,
:39:03. > :39:10.just had to respond to the situation. But he's got plenty of
:39:11. > :39:17.expense here at The Crucible so he knows the significance of trying to
:39:18. > :39:22.hurt his opponent. Amazingly enough, we could have had
:39:23. > :39:26.six total clearance in one day this is another chance of a possibly red
:39:27. > :39:43.clearance. The standard today has been ridiculous.
:39:44. > :39:50.Similar to Stephen Maguire, Barry Hawkins until this point had only
:39:51. > :39:58.had one century so far in the tournament.
:39:59. > :40:09.This is the first time he has had to play a difficult pot on this break.
:40:10. > :40:17.Amazing with the pressure off what a difference it makes.
:40:18. > :40:50.He has had to work hard for this break, hasn't he.
:40:51. > :40:59.We have had three frames so far in evening, this could be temperature
:41:00. > :41:02.second... Fabulous break from Barry Hawkins, although he did start with
:41:03. > :41:20.that amazing fluke. The rest has been played to perfection.
:41:21. > :41:51.You have to take you hat off to Barry Hawkins, he couldn't put make
:41:52. > :41:57.a pot in the first two frames. Barry Hawkins is once in the lead, he
:41:58. > :42:00.leads by ten frames to nine. What a terrific break from Hawkins. Maguire
:42:01. > :42:05.to play, trailing by eight points into the next frame.
:42:06. > :42:11.Oh he has another kick. Can you believe that kick, that was the
:42:12. > :42:14.worst of the lot. If the reason for the first kick was chalk dust, on
:42:15. > :42:18.the ball, sometimes it is no, sometimes it is, if it was a kick in
:42:19. > :42:21.and the reason perhaps that was the shot that Stephen Maguire, if he
:42:22. > :42:27.sensed it, should have had the ball cleaned.
:42:28. > :42:35.Perhaps he didn't think that Barry Hawkins got a kick.
:42:36. > :42:44.That is ridiculous. I took the pace out the ball, went square.
:42:45. > :42:47.Exasperation. Gb Don't want to predict anything in
:42:48. > :43:04.this frame any more. I don't know what Barry Hawkins's,
:43:05. > :43:08.sorry Stephen Maguire's usual procedure is after his opponent gets
:43:09. > :43:19.a kick and misses a shot. Some players just get on with it.
:43:20. > :43:23.He will have to play a little cannon here.
:43:24. > :43:28.Maybe a lifeline for Stephen Maguire. This could go wrong.
:43:29. > :43:53.This red more or less guarantees the frame.
:43:54. > :44:03.I think there'll be a dressing room door banging, should this black go
:44:04. > :44:08.in as well. Yes, I think on what we have seen so
:44:09. > :44:13.far, two all would have been a fair result, wouldn't it. Yes, I suppose
:44:14. > :44:18.so. Favouring Stephen Maguire for 3-1
:44:19. > :44:24.perhaps. That fluke that Barry Hawkins got.
:44:25. > :44:29.I think 2-2 is bad for Stephen Maguire out this session. That is
:44:30. > :44:33.what I meant, I didn't say it right. He is very aggrieved, he has,
:44:34. > :44:34.everything that could have gone wrong in this mini-session has gone
:44:35. > :44:56.wrong. Not too sure if Stephen Maguire is
:44:57. > :44:58.the type of player who has someone in his dressing room, but they will
:44:59. > :45:10.get an earful. That is the end of the frame. Barry
:45:11. > :45:15.Hawkins will be the more delighted of the two player, they he came in
:45:16. > :45:19.two frames in front, he goes into the interval two frames in front.
:45:20. > :45:26.And Barry Hawkins won the next frame to make it 12-9. And then sealed his
:45:27. > :45:33.place in the semifinals, in frame 22, with this break of 77. And so
:45:34. > :45:37.for the fourth time in five years, Barry Hawkins is back in the last
:45:38. > :45:41.four, here at The Crucible, as for Stephen Maguire, well, he will be
:45:42. > :45:46.bitterly disappointed, having had to play three matches to qualify for
:45:47. > :45:47.this year's World Championship as well, but it is Barry Hawkins who is
:45:48. > :45:58.through to the semifinals. Obvious, definitely good win, wasn't
:45:59. > :46:02.great Stan #2k5rd through the match but it is a good win, how badly we
:46:03. > :46:06.were both playing. I think I stayed a bit more patient than he did, and
:46:07. > :46:11.handled it a bit better towards the end. I had a bit of Lady Luck on my
:46:12. > :46:15.side tonight. I fluked a red at nine all, think it was nine all, and I
:46:16. > :46:22.still had to make the balls but I managed to clear up and it probably
:46:23. > :46:26.served me better. It is the calmest I have felt throughout the match.
