:00:37. > :00:41.Hello again. It is a two of this United Kingdom championship and one

:00:41. > :00:49.of the top tier is on this second day was between Stuart Bingham,

:00:49. > :00:53.from Essex, and Hong Kong's Marco Fu. Before we see the action, let's

:00:53. > :01:03.delve into the snooker vault to get some secret about the boy from

:01:03. > :01:10.

:01:10. > :01:16.Basildon, who has had something of I think I'm a very confident person.

:01:16. > :01:20.Just do it, get it, whatever! It is live! Some things happen and you

:01:20. > :01:29.get a choice and you try to look at the positive side. I used to be

:01:29. > :01:35.able to pick 10 reds up in one hand. That was my party trick! Getting

:01:35. > :01:43.into the 16 is good. Now I am there, hopefully I can enjoy it. I am

:01:43. > :01:51.pretty lazy at home! I used to do the work but now, my wife would

:01:51. > :02:00.definitely say I have a bit lazy! I did have a remote control golf

:02:00. > :02:07.trolley. That set me back a bit to. If you have a band round, you play

:02:07. > :02:11.with it -- a bad round, you play with it... In any sport, you have

:02:11. > :02:15.got to trust yourself and believe in yourself. Everything is about

:02:15. > :02:21.you at the end of the day. If you start worrying about others, your

:02:21. > :02:30.mind is not on the job in hand. You are playing the shots in front of

:02:30. > :02:34.you. HAZEL IRVINE: As for Marco Fu, he

:02:34. > :02:40.has struggled a bit to take it -- to stay in the top 32, though he

:02:40. > :02:46.did have that memorable run to the Masters final in January. Let's get

:02:46. > :02:56.into this in the early frames. The best of 11, in the company of

:02:56. > :03:02.

:03:02. > :03:09.Stuart Bingham gets this opening frame underway. A pretty good

:03:09. > :03:19.break-off shot. Not quite. Trying to get behind the yellow on the

:03:19. > :03:26.

:03:26. > :03:34.cushion. A safety shot here for This should be an interesting

:03:34. > :03:44.tussle. Stuart gaining in confidence all the time. But win in

:03:44. > :03:50.

:03:50. > :03:59.Australia was a big one for him. -- It put him into the top 16. It

:03:59. > :04:09.shows how tough it is to make the breakthrough. They call him the

:04:09. > :04:18.

:04:18. > :04:23.Well done. Where is the cue ball going to end up? Not that good. He

:04:23. > :04:33.is restricted with this positional play now. He might be able to do

:04:33. > :04:40.

:04:40. > :04:50.that from the blue, getting onto From that camera angle, you could

:04:50. > :04:59.

:04:59. > :05:09.Not a good pack to go into here. So easy to stick at the back of the

:05:09. > :05:12.

:05:12. > :05:22.reds so he needs a bit of extra That is pretty good. He has opened

:05:22. > :05:37.

:05:38. > :05:44.a few out. Marco is not under It is nice working with him, of

:05:44. > :05:49.course. He made 130 and 120 in his last tournament but has shown a bit

:05:49. > :05:55.better form than he had previously. Like many players, he got married

:05:55. > :06:05.last year and it is a change of life. He is very happy within

:06:05. > :06:12.

:06:12. > :06:18.himself. But his game hasn't been Stuart has certainly split them out

:06:18. > :06:24.there. It has worked to his advantage, not getting on the black

:06:24. > :06:34.as he intended, believe it or not, providing he knocks in this red

:06:34. > :06:37.

:06:37. > :06:42.No. Now, this is one of the pet hates in snooker. You open up the

:06:42. > :06:52.balls and give yourself a chance and miss, and in your opponent

:06:52. > :06:58.comes and pots all the balls you That is what Marco will be hoping

:06:58. > :07:08.for, but it is the opening frame, so... It will take both players a

:07:08. > :07:08.

:07:08. > :08:21.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 72 seconds

:08:21. > :08:26.Dennis was talking there about the boy is settling down into the

:08:26. > :08:32.tournament, and the history of the mind set of the players is that the

:08:32. > :08:37.early rounds have been the best of six. But the rest of the season is

:08:37. > :08:47.playing tournaments with the best out of seven and nine. So it is a

:08:47. > :08:50.

:08:50. > :08:56.So they feel they have to get going more quickly in the UK

:08:56. > :09:06.Championships. I think it is a good test. The best play usually comes

:09:06. > :09:18.

:09:18. > :09:24.If you lose a session... I can understand the disappointment. It

:09:24. > :09:29.will go to the longer frames once we get to the quarter final.

:09:29. > :09:35.think what a players are pleased about in the new format is that it

:09:35. > :09:40.is better on television. Previously, a lot of players, until we get to

:09:40. > :09:50.the semi-final, are on the outside tables, which can be an advantage

:09:50. > :09:54.

:09:54. > :10:04.And we have young players coming through, with the chance to show

:10:04. > :10:06.

:10:06. > :10:12.And that is what the British public wants to see - the new talent

:10:12. > :10:17.coming through and how they cope with the stars. And we have a

:10:17. > :10:27.classic match - Ronnie O'Sullivan against Steve Davis. A fascinating

:10:27. > :10:36.

:10:36. > :10:44.Everybody wondering if Steve can Meanwhile, market is taking full

:10:44. > :10:54.advantage of that missed red from Stuart. -- Marco is taking full

:10:54. > :10:58.

:10:58. > :11:08.Even though it is the best of 11, it is always nice to get the first,

:11:08. > :11:22.

:11:22. > :11:32.A very good scorer, Marco Fu always has been. A good temperate --

:11:32. > :11:38.

:11:38. > :11:48.temperament but up of late, his My son was over at the Institute of

:11:48. > :11:53.

:11:53. > :11:58.Hong Kong, working with him for two I remember the first time I went to

:11:58. > :12:04.Hong Kong with you, Steve Davis... I remember seeing you and Steve

:12:04. > :12:14.Davis doing an advert with subtitles! That was really funny,

:12:14. > :12:14.

:12:14. > :13:52.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 72 seconds

:13:52. > :14:02.This time, Stuart stays in his seat so Marco Fu takes the opening frame.

:14:02. > :14:02.

:14:02. > :14:45.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 72 seconds

:14:45. > :14:53.He will be very pleased with that He has always been a bit of an

:14:53. > :14:57.explosive player to me, Dennis, and he has been unbeatable. Yes, he

:14:57. > :15:07.certainly was in Australia when he won his first ranking title a

:15:07. > :15:22.

:15:22. > :15:32.Beautifully played. A pretty good Gulf as well, it is Stuart. -- a

:15:32. > :15:43.

:15:43. > :15:53.Even if he was slightly hampered, he knew this would be an easy red

:15:53. > :16:00.

:16:00. > :16:06.I don't blame him for not going into the reds. They are not a good

:16:06. > :16:16.bunch to go into at present. I think he has found a gap. He has

:16:16. > :16:23.

:16:23. > :16:27.left himself a choice of three A lot of people think you are

:16:27. > :16:37.playing 5, 6, 7 shots ahead. Sometimes you are changing your

:16:37. > :16:42.

:16:42. > :16:52.But sometimes you can leave yourself the choice, as he has done

:16:52. > :17:03.

:17:03. > :17:13.Isn't it amazing Chris Bainger no matter how easy it is, you always

:17:13. > :17:22.

:17:22. > :17:32.get a round of applause for a plant. He is now just debating whether to

:17:32. > :17:46.

:17:46. > :17:56.possibly go into that bunch now. He And look where he has placed the

:17:56. > :18:02.

:18:02. > :18:10.A good response from Stuart after that opening frame. Ooh, that

:18:10. > :18:20.seemed to kick! It might have jumped a little bit. Whether he

:18:20. > :18:57.

:18:57. > :19:07.He needs one of the baulk colours Still a good lead. He would rather

:19:07. > :19:19.

:19:19. > :19:25.be 40-odd in front then behind. -- A straight forward safety shot for

:19:25. > :19:35.Marco and fraction Lee on the thin side. But not bad. -- and a

:19:35. > :19:56.

:19:56. > :20:03.That is a good length of safety shot. So important to leave your

:20:03. > :20:13.opponent close to the cushion. Mix the sighting more difficult over a

:20:13. > :20:23.

:20:23. > :20:30.distance and the bridge in hand is You have to be careful of those

:20:30. > :20:40.types of shots. Very well played. The best safety shot of the match

:20:40. > :20:41.

:20:41. > :20:51.so far. A possible gap down the table. The two reds from the left

:20:51. > :21:12.

:21:12. > :21:17.He missed the pot but found the gap. Now, does Marco have a go at this

:21:17. > :21:27.long red? If it is dead straight, it could go into the left corner

:21:27. > :21:44.

:21:44. > :21:50.He needs to keep everything still... But he cued right across it. I

:21:50. > :22:00.don't think he has covered that red from that picture, as it looks as

:22:00. > :22:07.

:22:07. > :22:17.though the pink is snooker ring him That is not the red he is looking

:22:17. > :22:21.

:22:21. > :22:31.at. He is looking at the one in the It is just the position he is

:22:31. > :22:50.

:22:50. > :22:56.looking at. Difficult to get on the I tell you what, if they carry on

:22:56. > :23:06.like this, we could have a cracking match on our hands. They are both

:23:06. > :23:14.

:23:14. > :23:24.You used to play eight frames in the first session and nine in the

:23:24. > :23:24.

:23:24. > :23:34.With the standard of play today, if you do start slowly, you could be

:23:34. > :23:34.

:23:34. > :24:44.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 72 seconds

:24:44. > :24:54.two, three frames behind in no time Getting into the more difficult

:24:54. > :25:08.

:25:08. > :25:13.Well, it looked difficult to me! He Any more pace, and the brown

:25:13. > :25:23.wouldn't have dropped. But it is amazing. These players do not give

:25:23. > :25:40.

:25:40. > :25:50.He misses the black but it doesn't make any difference. Things are now

:25:50. > :26:08.

:26:08. > :26:18.Marco Fu finds himself 2-1 behind. Not doing a lot wrong, such is the

:26:18. > :26:26.

:26:26. > :26:36.Marco Fu beat Stuart Bingham in the amateur World Championships, of

:26:36. > :26:36.

:26:36. > :26:46.course. 11-10 was the score there. Then Stuart went on to win the

:26:46. > :26:50.

:26:50. > :27:00.championships before turning He has taken a time to break

:27:00. > :27:22.

:27:22. > :27:27.through, Stuart, but he has done it Ooh, that was close. But it has

:27:28. > :27:37.given Stuart another chance. They seem to have opened the reds up

:27:38. > :27:45.

:27:45. > :27:55.nicely. It is fairly crucial, if There is an attacking shot. And

:27:55. > :27:56.

:27:56. > :28:06.There is plenty of room and he might be able to drop it in dead

:28:06. > :28:17.

:28:17. > :28:27.No! Close! There's a red will go into this white corner. That is the

:28:27. > :28:58.

:28:58. > :29:08.He cannot do anything with the pink at the moment. His plan might be

:29:08. > :29:08.

:29:08. > :30:46.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 72 seconds

:30:46. > :30:56.red, a boot and then possibly get If he has an angle here, he has got

:30:56. > :30:56.

:30:57. > :31:06.a choice of shots. Once again, he is heading back for the blue. He

:31:07. > :31:07.

:31:07. > :32:21.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 72 seconds

:32:21. > :32:28.got a kick this time, but it has Every shot was played inch perfect,

:32:28. > :32:38.positional whites. Now he is on to the black. Maybe he just likes

:32:38. > :32:38.

:32:38. > :33:57.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 72 seconds

:33:57. > :34:03.Good position and play. He has got a choice. He can play the cannon on

:34:04. > :34:13.to the pink and red. He could also roll the black in. It depends on

:34:14. > :34:51.

:34:51. > :34:55.Still a possible 67 on the table. I think winning in Australia has

:34:55. > :35:02.boosted his confidence. He looks so confident at the moment around the

:35:02. > :35:12.table, especially after losing the opening frame. OK, he underhit that,

:35:12. > :35:15.

:35:15. > :35:25.but the frame is well and truly There is not a lot between the top

:35:25. > :35:29.

:35:29. > :35:39.players and the rest. Winning the Australian title has pushed him up

:35:39. > :35:39.

:35:39. > :37:32.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 72 seconds

:37:32. > :37:40.Chants of a first century -- chance An unusual way to make a century,

:37:40. > :37:50.but it doesn't make any difference at the Ken of the day.

:37:50. > :38:23.

:38:23. > :38:33.centuries he has now made in his These boys are quick and very

:38:33. > :38:33.

:38:33. > :39:38.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 72 seconds

:39:38. > :39:48.The black has got tied up again here. Both players would obviously

:39:48. > :40:05.

:40:05. > :40:13.like to see the back in open play. He missed the red and the cannon.

:40:13. > :40:23.It was worth a go. If he had rolled it into the middle, he could have

:40:23. > :40:35.

:40:35. > :40:45.The blue is in, but he has not left anything so he will not mind losing

:40:45. > :41:20.

:41:20. > :41:30.Marco who hit the wrong side of the red. That was not good cueing. This

:41:30. > :41:42.

:41:42. > :41:52.might bring the black into play Even though he is slightly on the

:41:52. > :42:23.

:42:23. > :42:33.wrong side of the blue, it is not a He did not intend to be the cushion

:42:33. > :42:54.

:42:54. > :43:04.I'm not sure if he was playing into the pack, or trying to find the

:43:04. > :43:04.

:43:04. > :45:41.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 72 seconds

:45:41. > :45:51.A good safety shot. The balls are If he could get past the reds, he

:45:51. > :46:27.

:46:27. > :46:37.could get on to the black. Very He needs to run, he needs to keep

:46:37. > :46:37.

:46:37. > :46:47.going. Is he OK? Does that red past the other one, or is it too tight?

:46:47. > :46:47.

:46:47. > :48:31.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 72 seconds

:48:31. > :48:36.I think he was playing for the want It is a bit thinner than he was

:48:36. > :48:46.hoping to leave. He can still play the cannon, but he might catch the

:48:46. > :48:46.

:48:46. > :50:13.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 72 seconds

:50:13. > :50:23.A player finished on the other table and the APPLAUSE made it a

:58:46. > :58:56.In the first four frames, there was a bit of break-building from both

:58:56. > :58:58.

:58:58. > :59:08.players. Quite quick, as Dennis The pattern has changed since the

:59:08. > :59:11.

:59:11. > :59:18.interval and Marco Fu now looks the Marco's game is a little more

:59:18. > :59:25.rounded. There's one thing for certain - we are not going to have

:59:25. > :59:35.a repeat of last year. Down in Telford, where Stuart won that

:59:35. > :59:44.

:59:44. > :59:52.You can't believe it! He has touched the yellow! Can you believe

:59:52. > :59:59.it? 57, the difference, 59 on the table. What a time to touch the

:59:59. > :00:09.yellow with your sleeve. If he loses this frame, well... It would

:00:09. > :00:26.

:00:26. > :00:32.Stuart was making sure he didn't get near the yellow. A good chance.

:00:32. > :00:39.Not a chance he was expecting to get. I don't think I've ever seen

:00:39. > :00:49.that, where iPlayer has needed a snooker and got it just with

:00:49. > :00:58.

:00:58. > :01:08.touching the ball. -- where a He has hit that a bit too hard. A

:01:55. > :02:17.

:02:17. > :02:22.In a way, he has nothing to lose, because he was not expecting to

:02:22. > :02:32.beat here in this frame. He could leave himself on that pink and does

:02:32. > :02:41.

:02:42. > :02:47.not have to force it to get back on He was hoping to leave it into the

:02:47. > :02:50.left middle pocket and it might go past the blue, which means it will

:02:50. > :02:57.be easy with regards to getting onto the colour he needs. Just

:02:57. > :03:07.having a look at the scoreboard now. He may have to take it up into the

:03:07. > :03:09.

:03:09. > :03:19.corner to make sure he gets He could now play the pink but he

:03:19. > :03:51.

:03:51. > :04:01.needs another good shot. He could He played that well. That was

:04:01. > :04:37.

:04:37. > :04:41.He's run it too far, slightly more than he intended. I am not sure if

:04:42. > :04:51.he can drop it in dead weight and leave himself the right side of the

:04:52. > :04:57.

:04:57. > :05:06.Amazing! It will be a very, very relieved Marco Fu who comes back to

:05:06. > :05:14.the table. If he hadn't lost that frame with his sleeve touching the

:05:14. > :05:24.yellow... Stuart Bingham has let his opportunities slip away there.

:05:24. > :05:46.

:05:46. > :05:56.Because it really would have So he wasn't punished for that foul

:06:41. > :06:51.earlier. Marco Fu has pulled Marco Fu's safety has been very

:06:51. > :07:07.

:07:07. > :07:17.good. Both players, really. 89% It makes such a difference if you
