:00:54. > :00:59.Hello, good evening, welcome to the evening session of the 2014 World
:01:00. > :01:02.Snooker Championship. Judd Trump and evening session of the 2014 World
:01:03. > :01:08.Neil Robertson battling it out for the final last four place. Let us
:01:09. > :01:09.bring you up to date with this incredible quarter-final match
:01:10. > :01:14.between Barry Hawkins and the Welsh incredible quarter-final match
:01:15. > :01:17.qualifier Dominic Dale, Hauss kips led 11-5 overnight but then he
:01:18. > :01:19.qualifier Dominic Dale, Hauss kips staged an incredible fight back,
:01:20. > :01:22.winning six on the bounce to draw level. They shared the
:01:23. > :01:32.winning six on the bounce to draw set up a deciding frame, Hawkins is
:01:33. > :01:36.at the table in the early stages. The pot is easy enough. But the
:01:37. > :01:44.position isn't. He played for that sort of gap that
:01:45. > :01:50.he found there. Hoping to stay on the black, but it is not available.
:01:51. > :01:55.So he has been potting everything. He has got a big choice here. At
:01:56. > :02:01.this stage, I would say he should play a safety.
:02:02. > :02:07.I would agree. I think the blue, I mean it is tough at the best of
:02:08. > :02:12.times, but in this situation, you would be putting your eggs, all your
:02:13. > :02:16.eggs in one basket. Why would you want to do that? But sometimes,
:02:17. > :02:20.eggs in one basket. Why would you is the way you feel, and
:02:21. > :02:23.particularly in the modern game now, there is the culture if you get a
:02:24. > :02:43.chance to try and win the frame. But no, he is playing safe.
:02:44. > :02:50.His maintain concern was the red, you can see nearer to the right
:02:51. > :02:57.corner pocket, he stopped getting that. If there is anything straight
:02:58. > :03:02.forward here, there is a difficult safety. Got that slightly too thick.
:03:03. > :03:11.He has done that before, he needs to green to help. And not quite. He can
:03:12. > :03:14.cue past the green, red to the right corner.
:03:15. > :03:19.May have a chance of the red to the left corner, as well, the way he is
:03:20. > :03:26.looking. And the red to the left corner,
:03:27. > :03:32.although, can he cue it properly. That green will make it awkward.
:03:33. > :03:39.Because he is left handed. Right handed. You think he would be OK,
:03:40. > :03:43.but, more comfortable cueing, playing this red. But a bit more do
:03:44. > :04:00.with the cue ball. He got a kiss. But he could have
:04:01. > :04:05.been on something easier. A good pot. The yellow is available, the
:04:06. > :04:09.black is available with the rest and Barry Hawkins is one of the better
:04:10. > :04:13.players on the circuit with the rest.
:04:14. > :04:17.Amazing what momentum can do. Earlier on you wouldn't have fancied
:04:18. > :04:22.him to make a 20 break, but at this moment, he seems to have found his
:04:23. > :04:44.second wind, when he needed it the most.
:04:45. > :04:53.Good solid pot. And I think he has the red to the left middle. Which
:04:54. > :05:01.Good solid pot. And I think he has can control, and possibly play for
:05:02. > :05:07.pink or black. Well, the fact he is having a look at the red, that is to
:05:08. > :05:17.the right of the pink, into the far left corner. He is not perfect, so
:05:18. > :06:06.there is a bit of pressure on this. Well played. Very well played.
:06:07. > :06:12.Well he looks as though the black spot is held. He won't mind it going
:06:13. > :06:18.on the blue spot. As long as you have the pink and black in play, and
:06:19. > :06:26.the red spread is there, he will be thinking this is an opportunity to
:06:27. > :06:48.win frame and match. But he will take nothing for granted. He didn't
:06:49. > :06:54.play for the red on the black spot. He is OK, he has a red in the
:06:55. > :06:58.middle. Dominic Dale is sitting there and he is thinking is he going
:06:59. > :07:03.to get another chance, he has played wonderful snooker in this session,
:07:04. > :07:11.he won seven frames on the spin, he has hoed-of-had to it is out the
:07:12. > :07:19.previous frame and maybe this one. All the effort, he may get nothing
:07:20. > :07:33.out of this match. So much put into it. So much pressure for both
:07:34. > :07:40.players. If the pink goes through the middle,
:07:41. > :07:51.maybe he can get past the pink for the right middle. He didn't play for
:07:52. > :07:55.this but he will take it. Played it well.
:07:56. > :08:23.Just not got the angle on the black that would have made the next red a
:08:24. > :08:28.bit easier. Has he screwed back fine? He is not
:08:29. > :08:33.going to be hampered by that brown and blue.
:08:34. > :08:38.He was aware they were there. Well, you said Terry, he is good with the
:08:39. > :08:42.rest. He wouldn't normally want to use the rest on this type of shot,
:08:43. > :08:58.but the brown and blue make awkward cueing so rest it is.
:08:59. > :09:14.Solid shot. Not inch perfect on black but not bad.
:09:15. > :09:19.That was a good a positional shot as he has played. Really cued that
:09:20. > :09:25.nicely. Quick glance at the score board. 48 points in front. 83
:09:26. > :09:52.remaining. Three reds, three colours, he would be in the
:09:53. > :09:58.semifinal. A bit straighter on this pink would
:09:59. > :10:02.have been ideal. You can see where he is pointing now, with his cueing,
:10:03. > :10:18.he want to pot the thing and leave the cue ball about there.
:10:19. > :10:22.It is a little stun run through. What a turn round, Barry Hawkins has
:10:23. > :10:26.been sitting in the chair for about three hours, made a lot of mistakes
:10:27. > :10:31.and alof a sudden he has found something from somewhere, it is
:10:32. > :10:34.obviously courage, these players don't lose the skill, they sometimes
:10:35. > :10:50.lose the belief, but... Yes, and Dominic didn't score a
:10:51. > :10:57.point in the last frame. .ances are he won't score one in this. This
:10:58. > :11:07.sums snooker up. It is a cruel game. So just this red needed to go 63
:11:08. > :11:17.points in front, with 59 remaining. Every credit to Barry Hawkins, from
:11:18. > :11:21.11-5 in front, to go 12-11 behind and then stop. There is the bang on
:11:22. > :11:24.the table. That is what it means to him. Great performance. I don't
:11:25. > :11:30.blame him showing him. Great performance. I don't
:11:31. > :11:36.because there must have been times in this match that he thought he had
:11:37. > :11:40.thrown it away. Dominic smile, I give you every credit Dominic Dale,
:11:41. > :11:42.when you were 9-3 behind in that second session last night, a lot of
:11:43. > :11:55.people would have dropped heads.
:11:56. > :11:58.It is all over. It has been a tremendous match. Who would have
:11:59. > :12:06.ever thought we had got to a decider.
:12:07. > :12:08.Well, the black hasn't gone in. Dominic will give Barry a warm
:12:09. > :12:13.handshake. What a match. What a come Dominic will give Barry a warm
:12:14. > :12:18.back from Dominic Dale, he congratulates Barry warmly, Barry is
:12:19. > :12:24.delighted. More relieved than anything else, and he is through to
:12:25. > :12:31.the semifinal to meet the defending champion Ronnie O'Sullivan. He beats
:12:32. > :12:45.Dominic Dale by 13 frames to 12. What a match. Barry, what a dramatic
:12:46. > :12:51.afternoon, you barely moved from your seat until you absolutely had
:12:52. > :12:54.to at the end. Dominic played unbelievable, when he left me
:12:55. > :12:59.chance, they just, everything that could go wrong went wrong to be hop
:13:00. > :13:05.nest, it wasn't as though I was squandering chance after chance he
:13:06. > :13:10.played some unbelievable safety and kept me off the table. It gets tough
:13:11. > :13:13.then, so, to play like I did the last two frames there after what he
:13:14. > :13:18.did to me is unbelievable. You can see how much it meant at the end,
:13:19. > :13:22.and I am just chuffed to pieces I held myself together at the end.
:13:23. > :13:26.Where does this rank in your all time achievement, even though it is
:13:27. > :13:31.a quarter-final not a final? It has to be up there. One of my best wins
:13:32. > :13:34.ever, I think, especially when somebody comes back at you like that
:13:35. > :13:41.and how well he was playing, and to get the result out of that, is, just
:13:42. > :13:46.delighted. I am lost for words. It is up there with one of my best
:13:47. > :13:51.performance, especially under pressure and when it goes down to
:13:52. > :13:55.the one table like that I think I handled it well. 11 five ahead,
:13:56. > :14:00.there is nowhere for him to go. He has won the match, I can't win the
:14:01. > :14:04.match, he can only lose it. I have to play out my skin to sort of try
:14:05. > :14:12.and, you know, mount a come back which I did, played really well, but
:14:13. > :14:15.in the end those last two frames, he found his A game. I don't think I
:14:16. > :14:19.potted anything in the last two frames. I didn't really do anything
:14:20. > :14:25.wrong. He found his A game and he won it, I didn't lose it. What a
:14:26. > :14:28.brilliant performance but Barry Hawkins showing lots of passion and
:14:29. > :14:32.motion, he is through to the semifinals and it is a repeat of
:14:33. > :14:35.last year's final, he will play Ronnie O'Sullivan in the semifinal,
:14:36. > :14:40.what a match that promises to be. Right, we are now going to urn our
:14:41. > :14:46.attention to this evening's match. These are live picture, we will go
:14:47. > :14:51.live to the Crucible. It is Judd Trump taking on Neil Robertson. 9-6
:14:52. > :14:55.Trump leads and Neil Robertson needs one more century break to become the
:14:56. > :15:03.first man ever to complete a century of centuries in a single season. So
:15:04. > :15:05.let us join it live. Good evening everybody. You joined
:15:06. > :15:11.us at a Good evening everybody. You joined
:15:12. > :15:15.Robertson miss this red. He was on a break of 52. Perhaps could have
:15:16. > :15:20.opened a bit earlier. This was the red he was taking on, to try and get
:15:21. > :15:28.on to the black to win the frame that the visit. But 52 point lead,
:15:29. > :15:45.strong favourite to take if opener. Judd Trumped has not had a chance in
:15:46. > :15:54.this frame as yet. Not the best of safeties from Judd.
:15:55. > :16:08.Neil can cut into the corner. Has to be careful with the white.
:16:09. > :16:13.He will be tempted at this one. Yes, the problem when you are playing
:16:14. > :16:17.safety game, Judd Trump, it is not you don't want to leave him in the
:16:18. > :16:21.middle. He will take it on me what, when he is playing well, he goes for
:16:22. > :16:32.them and gets a high percentage of them even from distance.
:16:33. > :16:43.The yellow off the spot is hindering him to go round that so side of the
:16:44. > :16:47.table. If he wants to move any reds. Let us see what he is doing here?
:16:48. > :17:00.The yellow is there, look. Just, after his exact path he wanted to
:17:01. > :17:03.take. Playing round the back of the yellow there, it swerved a bit too
:17:04. > :17:17.quickly. Is from a red available in the
:17:18. > :17:24.middle? There may well be. Perhaps he played it off the yellow. He
:17:25. > :17:35.didn't get it on the first shot he played with that long red. Once
:17:36. > :17:40.again not enough spin I did think he would get that one. Big target,
:17:41. > :17:45.green or yellow, it would be difficult to get the pace just
:17:46. > :18:27.right, but he has done, he has the pace perfectly.
:18:28. > :18:34.He is bringing reds into play he wouldn't want to at this stage. She
:18:35. > :18:38.45 points in front. He would like to keep things as tight as possible.
:18:39. > :18:43.But, he is looking down the line a few time, if he can hit enough of
:18:44. > :18:47.this red. Got to avoid the black of course, on the bake. He is playing a
:18:48. > :18:53.swerve there. That was a very clever shot. I
:18:54. > :19:00.thought he was playing back down to the baulk. : He was trying to push
:19:01. > :19:04.that red on the side cushion and it didn't get there. Judd, with being
:19:05. > :19:22.45 points behind, he will be playing off that red to bring it into the
:19:23. > :19:26.middle of the table. The red next to the pink, amazing enough, that would
:19:27. > :19:30.cut into the left hand corner. I think he can just about miss the
:19:31. > :19:39.kiss on the black, in play on the shot. Maybe kneels it subpoena too
:19:40. > :20:03.thin. It pots without a doubt. Whether he can avoid the kiss is
:20:04. > :20:07.another question. He did play the shot and got got
:20:08. > :20:13.close to it. He missed the black. If he had caught that fractionally thin
:20:14. > :20:27.he would have canoned into the black. He is trying to get down
:20:28. > :20:31.behind the baulk colours and he is trying to get it thick. He didn't
:20:32. > :21:09.get the pace on the cue ball I am afraid.
:21:10. > :21:31.52 points in front. He only needs the red.
:21:32. > :21:35.Because he is in a tricky situation, I don't know whether he will risk
:21:36. > :21:43.playing the blue. As you know one of the game's greatest ever potter, is
:21:44. > :21:44.there a risk in him missing and giving Judd Trump the chance to play
:21:45. > :21:50.the snooker. Appears not. Brown safe would be a bonus.
:21:51. > :22:32.that. Should close Neil will think he should have gone
:22:33. > :22:56.for the blue there. That shot. There is an element of risk if you
:22:57. > :23:24.were to hit the two balls to the left of the black. Touching ball on
:23:25. > :23:27.the yellow and green, it would have been a difficult snooker to hit. As
:23:28. > :24:13.it is, he can get A bit reluctant to play them thin.
:24:14. > :24:22.We will getting better look down very soon.
:24:23. > :24:27.He could play cushion first and take the cue ball back down the table.
:24:28. > :24:56.Got caught a little thick. He tried to stun off the cushions
:24:57. > :25:10.behind green and yellow. Just one snooker needed from Judd Trump here.
:25:11. > :25:15.I he played that. You know, he may well have played it. If you look the
:25:16. > :25:19.table if he potted three reds and three blacks, if Judd hadn't don't
:25:20. > :25:38.down behind the yellow and green he would have had a perfect snooker.
:25:39. > :25:47.I think he is taking the pot on. That is confidence for you. He
:25:48. > :26:02.wouldn't have been quite sure if he missed that, where the reds were
:26:03. > :26:05.going. Judd Trump decide that is enough.
:26:06. > :27:20.Has he made his mind up yet. Not quite. He is going to carry on.
:27:21. > :27:27.This looks like the first snooker. It is amazing he can swerve through
:27:28. > :27:59.the gap. Another two inches to left he could have done this shot.
:28:00. > :28:06.Obviously coming off the top cushion there is just about enough room to
:28:07. > :28:09.go past this red. You would expect him to hit this. Just enough room to
:28:10. > :28:23.go by it but he has hit it. Now is it possible to get in behind
:28:24. > :28:44.the black? He has played him behind the pink but didn't play it well.
:28:45. > :28:50.Don't really expect a match like this, a frame like this, with these
:28:51. > :28:55.two, because they are both so clinical when they get in the ball,
:28:56. > :28:59.and turned a blue down, which I think Judd may have conceded then,
:29:00. > :29:07.and missed a pink in the middle and now he has a fluke snooker, you
:29:08. > :29:12.never know. It is amazing, the second kiss. It
:29:13. > :29:17.still had the side on the to swing behind the black. These one cushion
:29:18. > :29:30.escapes are straightforward. But you expect him to judge this one right.
:29:31. > :30:08.But he hasn't. But frame looked over on two
:30:09. > :30:15.occasions, and on the third occasion, it is. A break of 52
:30:16. > :30:26.earlier in the frame was the catalyst to take this.
:30:27. > :30:41.What a semifinal we have got, whoever wins this match. Tomorrow is
:30:42. > :30:50.the day not to miss. But tonight could be a night not to miss as
:30:51. > :30:56.well. Neil Robertson certainly looks in the mood tonight.
:30:57. > :31:07.A little bit of sword fighting with the referee.
:31:08. > :31:20.Neil Robertson won closer to Judd Trump, but still trails 9-7. We are
:31:21. > :31:21.still waiting for that century break.
:31:22. > :31:28.Live pictures they are of the Crucible. Only one table. We were
:31:29. > :31:33.due to sure you Ronnie O'Sullivan against Shaun Murphy, but the Rocket
:31:34. > :31:41.was in no mood to hang around this morning.
:31:42. > :31:55.That is perfect. He has hit that so well. Excellent. Very difficult.
:31:56. > :32:11.Great shot. You never know what kind of match you are going to get.
:32:12. > :32:36.Watch this shot. I don't think there is a player in the game he has not
:32:37. > :32:41.done that too at some stage. That is a terrific double. Shaun Murphy
:32:42. > :32:49.comes forward and congratulates Ronnie O'Sullivan. All credit to
:32:50. > :32:59.Ronnie, when he got his chances, he took them. He is a great potter, he
:33:00. > :33:10.just missed a few balls and let me in quite easily. I still had to pot
:33:11. > :33:16.them, but you never know how much is going to turn out.
:33:17. > :33:25.He looked like a man determined to hang on to his crown. Can anyone
:33:26. > :33:31.here stop him? We will not know until the semifinals. But Ronnie
:33:32. > :33:34.O'Sullivan is looking the favourite of the players left in at the
:33:35. > :33:40.moment. He was favourite at the start and still is.
:33:41. > :33:47.These two players will not be worrying about that, they have got
:33:48. > :34:08.enough on their hands. The fact that he played the cut at
:34:09. > :34:13.the right hand side, the white gauze left against the nap. -- those
:34:14. > :34:27.left. Decided to take the double on there.
:34:28. > :34:42.Heat can't get on a red Decided to take the double on there.
:34:43. > :34:53.surely. That is what he has played for. Unlucky. Great try. He leaves
:34:54. > :35:01.himself a ball in the middle pocket. If he had missed the blue,
:35:02. > :35:06.he would have been on the red. Different styles of play with these
:35:07. > :35:33.two. Both are very effective, of course.
:35:34. > :35:47.All of a sudden, the white pulls into the left. Very unlikely, but
:35:48. > :35:51.only cost him five points. If Judd Trump had got onto a red from that
:35:52. > :36:15.brown, it would have been more costly.
:36:16. > :37:07.Judd Trump wasn't jumping out of his seat.
:37:08. > :37:39.It would not have been a great shot with a free ball. He will be playing
:37:40. > :37:46.the red that is in play, rather than thin safety shot. He would love to
:37:47. > :38:05.play it full in the face to push it down near the black.
:38:06. > :38:18.He may be able to put this one -- pot this one. The pink and black out
:38:19. > :38:28.of commission. He may try to bring the blue into play. I thought there
:38:29. > :38:33.might be a gap between that black and red. But the one in the middle
:38:34. > :38:37.was on. He has played for the loose red. Once again, has not got into
:38:38. > :39:00.the cue ball. Very well played. A little
:39:01. > :39:02.unfortunate with the black. He has got the angle they are so he is on
:39:03. > :39:14.the red. These two players are very
:39:15. > :39:24.proficient at going into the pack. You need lots of cute power. -- cue
:39:25. > :39:31.power. He just needs to miss that first red. That is what he has done,
:39:32. > :39:41.but he did not bark it quickly enough -- arc. Just caught that red
:39:42. > :39:42.half ball. If he had caught it full ball, they would have spread all
:39:43. > :40:26.over the place. Crucial after this to try and get a
:40:27. > :40:42.nice angle. I love watching him play because you
:40:43. > :40:48.do not know what he is going to do next. You criticise him sometimes
:40:49. > :40:52.forward to much open play, but it does not bother me. I love watching
:40:53. > :40:58.him play, I think he is very popular with the people who come to watch
:40:59. > :41:06.snooker. He is a dedicated professional now, practices very
:41:07. > :41:18.hard. He needs to catch the red full. Glancing off there. If he is
:41:19. > :41:27.on it, that is a good shot. Just looking to see if the red above the
:41:28. > :41:32.pack will pot in the same pocket. That was a very clever shot, played
:41:33. > :41:55.slow into the pack. He will be pushing the red that is
:41:56. > :42:01.loose over to the corner pocket if he gets this right. Got an angle on
:42:02. > :42:09.the pink, I think he can screw into this side of the pack. That was
:42:10. > :42:41.careless. This 52 point played could disappear
:42:42. > :43:00.very quickly. The saving grace is the blue on the side cushion. Not
:43:01. > :43:37.happy once again with the contact. Bouncing all over the place.
:43:38. > :43:50.Excellent shot. red into play now. The blue is Judd
:43:51. > :44:22.Trump's only saving ball here. Hasn't quite come high enough for
:44:23. > :44:26.this red. Nudge the finger towards the centre. But without there being
:44:27. > :44:36.on the left of the table, it may block the pocket. And it
:44:37. > :44:43.on the left of the table, it may think. Very tight. End of break. I
:44:44. > :44:52.didn't think there was any chance he couldn't get those four. The mood he
:44:53. > :44:59.is in, he might take PLO on -- take the yellow one. He is going to bring
:45:00. > :45:04.the blue into play, can't blame him for that. Judd Trump will be
:45:05. > :45:08.breathing a sigh of relief here. for that. Judd Trump will be
:45:09. > :45:36.looked as if he would clear the reds.
:45:37. > :45:53.He brought the blue of one cushion and onto another one. It is one good
:45:54. > :46:02.chance gone for Neil. Judd Trump is looking at this long pot, he finds
:46:03. > :46:10.it so difficult to turn them down because he pots so many of them. But
:46:11. > :46:13.it may be a better option to play a good safety here. 31 points in
:46:14. > :46:45.front. The fact that the pink is touching
:46:46. > :46:52.ball does not appear to be a problem. Robertson will have no
:46:53. > :46:57.problem hitting the reds off the side cushion, but can he get them
:46:58. > :47:00.safe? He does not want to hit the pink too hard and put the two
:47:01. > :47:09.threads together because that will be an easier target.
:47:10. > :47:20.And he has put them together. He hopes there is no plant on the.
:47:21. > :47:24.Amazing. The plant is on. The only problem is because they are dead in
:47:25. > :47:34.line for the pocket, if he kisses the first red half ball, it will
:47:35. > :47:36.make it a reverse plant. And he will be playing it hard. He has got to
:47:37. > :47:54.hit it full ball. The two reds are absolutely
:47:55. > :47:56.in-line. It is one of those, you will have to play it hard and hope
:47:57. > :48:16.for the best. Hit it full ball. He's done it, well played. Very well
:48:17. > :48:17.played. You said, don't put the two reds together and he did put them
:48:18. > :48:38.together. There we see the plant again. Right
:48:39. > :48:49.in their centre. The other looked like it was going in. Just 24 points
:48:50. > :48:53.behind now. That blue is still bear. It is on the wrong side of the table
:48:54. > :49:16.for Neal Robertson as a left-hander. Once again, didn't quite get the
:49:17. > :49:24.amount of spin he wanted. Does pot well, doesn't he? He plays the pace
:49:25. > :49:41.right as well. Will he play to move it or to drop
:49:42. > :49:59.on the cushion? If you can guarantee getting the
:50:00. > :50:01.pace right, he will get on the cushion. It gets in the bottom
:50:02. > :50:25.pockets, the middle pockets. He has played it to bring it into
:50:26. > :50:39.play. There was so much risk in that. A brave shot and he has got
:50:40. > :50:41.the reward. Judd Trump led by 50 points in this frame, this one will
:50:42. > :51:01.hurt. Just the black then. What a steal it
:51:02. > :51:16.would be for Neil Robertson. He has won the frame from well
:51:17. > :51:35.behind. 9-8 to Judd Trump. We knew that this was going to be a
:51:36. > :51:38.pick of the matches. It is a fascinating game snooker, when it
:51:39. > :51:45.comes to the tactical side of things, Judd Trump did nothing wrong
:51:46. > :51:51.I trying to snooker his opponent. But he left the plant on. It is a
:51:52. > :51:59.game of hide side. He had the blue on the side cushion. He could to put
:52:00. > :52:05.another bowl save on the side cushion. The brown to the side
:52:06. > :52:09.cushion. Cue ball onto the side cushion which would still have been
:52:10. > :52:12.a good snooker link ball. Then he has got two bowls on the side
:52:13. > :52:19.cushion which makes has got two bowls on the side
:52:20. > :52:20.clearance much more difficult. One fluke shot, one plant and then the
:52:21. > :52:34.game is alive again. Perhaps that was the wrong shot.
:52:35. > :52:41.Terry mentioned, don't put the two reds together. Why not play it a
:52:42. > :52:46.little gentler so the two reds are nowhere near each other? But they
:52:47. > :52:51.were pushed into a perfect line. This plant would have been reversed.
:52:52. > :53:04.He hit it full on their head, the only way to make this plant, and the
:53:05. > :53:08.rest is history. If he gets it right, he gets this frame. This was
:53:09. > :53:14.the shot for me. He could have dropped on the cushion, brilliant
:53:15. > :53:18.shot. He had to hit it from behind, hit it perfectly, and the rest was
:53:19. > :53:24.history. That was an excellent frame of snooker. Both players deserved to
:53:25. > :53:32.win the frame, in the end, it was Robertson that did.
:53:33. > :53:36.This looks like being another Crucible classic. First to 13. Only
:53:37. > :55:14.one frame in it. Just playing the safety by the look
:55:15. > :55:25.of it. Judd Trump has improved his safety
:55:26. > :55:38.play over the last few years. Those numbers are pretty high
:55:39. > :55:51.considering the skills of the long potting of both of them. That is
:55:52. > :55:53.exceptional friend you think it is a tournament, from the first shot
:55:54. > :56:20.played in the first round. This safety shot is a little more
:56:21. > :56:28.dangerous. Perhaps better to take the one nearest the black. That was
:56:29. > :56:56.the problem, he was always good to push one over the corner.
:56:57. > :57:08.Playing with backspin. We didn't really get on with it. Leaving Judd
:57:09. > :57:16.Trump a chance there. They are missable. He did not quite catch it
:57:17. > :57:29.they cannot. They are so shot. That could be very costly indeed. --
:57:30. > :57:40.There's a shot! That was much easier shot than the red he played. No
:57:41. > :57:43.problem with the opening red. But the colours are not nice. This frame
:57:44. > :58:18.could take some time to work out. Very tense here at the Crucible. Now
:58:19. > :58:24.it is all about the red button and connected TVs. We will be back with
:58:25. > :58:26.highlights later this evening. Press your red button now if you want to
:58:27. > :58:36.continue watching this match. From all of us here, goodbye for
:58:37. > :58:39.now.
