He looked so confident right from the start and playing a man who knows he's playing on top form is always a tough cookie.<BR/><BR/>Mark didn't play bad by any stretch. Had he got in first in the opening 2 frames he probably would have done the business but cest la vie. He's too experienced to let it bother him, he knows Gilbert put in what will be probably be the best performance of the opening round and there's nothing to be disheartened about.<BR/><BR/>The question now is how far can Gilbert go? Perry has got his hands full and on that form, so would Mark Selby if they meet in the last 16.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-46675603393728971892009-02-17T08:56:00.000+00:002009-02-17T08:56:00.000+00:00Indeed ... when the last frame started David Gilbe...Indeed ... when the last frame started David Gilbert's pot success was 96%. This tells something. The last frame was quite scrappy and both made mistakes but the balls were very akwardly set and David did a very good job in holding himself together and win this!<BR/>Mark J. was not at his best but he certainly wasn't at his worse.<BR/><BR/>If David can sustain this standard the match vs Perry should be close and interesting. And who knows ... Selby next?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-35442728925770071532009-02-17T08:47:00.000+00:002009-02-17T08:47:00.000+00:00I don't agree.

Mark missed no more than 3 or 4 balls in the first four frames, Dave made a century in the fifth and although Mark was poor in the last, by then it was probably too late anyway.Dave Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037719321756898982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-52277196448103010002009-02-17T08:44:00.000+00:002009-02-17T08:44:00.000+00:00Indeed, well done to Dave Gilbert!To say that Mark...Indeed, well done to Dave Gilbert!<BR/><BR/>To say that Mark Williams "made a few mistake" is probably a bit too polite as Mark was just way below par throughout the match. Which, of course, doesn't take anything away from Dave's performance.<BR/><BR/>cheers,<BR/>EricAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
