Sometimes it can all come down to one ball, as looks to be the case in the Michael Holt v Dominic Dale match.
Dale was looking good for an 8-7 lead in frame 15 after clearing from the yellow but missed the black along a cushion.
After a protracted safety battle, Holt potted it and now looks a different player. He's just made a very well worked 92 for 9-7.
In the other match still on, it's hard to see Mike Dunn beating Nigel Bond.
Dunn missed the blue by such a distance in frame 15 that he burst out laughing.
Bond himself missed a slightly awkward black but Dunn failed to pot it and left it on for Bond to go 9-7 up.
I hope Michael Holt makes the best of the opportunity he has given himself. I was sure he would crack under the pressure today!
ReplyDeleteHas he finally sorted his head out? He made a superb break in the last frame against Mark Davis, and managed to held his nerve to see out today's match. I look forward to seeing how he copes with the pressure in the televised stages, good luck Holty!
ReplyDeleteWell there's time when you have to have your head sorted out. I hope the time has come for Holty!
ReplyDeleteNice win and good luck to him at the Crucible!
WOOOOO!!!! HOLTY!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHope he gets far at the Worlds!
