Day 1 World Championship Snooker Extra

Hello, welcome to the first World Championship Snooker Extra from the

2013 Betfair World Snooker Championship from the Crucible

Theatre in Sheffield. This is the first round match between Ricky

Walden and Michael Holt. Michael Holt's latest debut in 2005.

there! He couldn't have played that much better. He was in a bit of

trouble but found a wonderful pot. He has opened up the black, and

look at all of the reds now. From a frame which 30 seconds ago was dead,

it looks like it should be a frame- winning opportunity. As you rightly

played him in Beijing recently, he knocked me out in the first round

5-2. He won in Shanghai a few years previously. As we see here, he

plays very fluently, very quick. He has a nice touch. He is very

prolific scoring. Sometimes, against the bigger player, he may

lack a bit of confidence. Without a doubt, I suggest he is one of the

top 10 players in the world in the break-building department. He may

lack a bit of confidence at times. Very few players have the full

package, have everything. He has He has played 147 as well. In 2011.

He is very capable. As we are seeing, he has polished these quite

nicely, kept the cue ball in complete control. You mentioned how

quick he was, the pace around the table. A player when he is in full

flight, around 16 seconds a shot, which is very quick. This has been

tension in his arm, he overhit it Brown, blue and pink required. This

would be a really good steel for Michael Holt. Ricky had 76 in the

watching, you played at this magnificent venue many times, in a

morning session, what was in your routine? What time did you get up?

Most players will have been up at 7:30am, early breakfast, get a

little bit of fresh air, and get down here around 9am. Practicing on

the practice table. Just behind the arena. They have three practice

tables at the back. They will be waking up, to get fresh enough.

When you knew you had a 10 am session, did you practice before at

10am? Not really. I did, to get the mind set for that early start.

is one of these players that practices a lot as well. He does

not leave it alone for a few days. He plays almost every day. People

ask how do you practise? He just makes you play those stuns. You can

try and clear up using one cushion, or more. There are always different

ways for players of this class to make a century break. They have to

give themselves targets. Maybe claim all pink, all blue, give

yourself targets. But you are playing screws all the time. And it

helps you control the cue ball. That is the most important one on

the table. He has got it on a string at the moment. It makes the

breaks so much easier. You cannot win a match in the first session

but you can lose 1. And as far as Michael Holt is concerned, you have

loneliest place in snooker. When you are playing bad at the Crucible,

for some reason, you just disappear. Yes. It can be the greatest place

to play but when you are sitting in that chair, as Michael Holt is now,

he can't believe how far he has missed it. The pressure just bills.

It is a venue like no other. The Crucible nerves get to everybody at

some stage. Two tables. A packed audience here, the first day. It's

a very true saying. Here, in commentary, until you get that

What an excellent shot this was. One good cannon is all he needs

here. Anything but a full ball. Half either side is all right. He

should definitely be pushing the red towards the middle. He should

definitely stun. If it is screwed back, he could get back towards the

black spot. Played it nicely. Well done. He should win the frame now.
