One tournament a player is a finalist the next they don't reach the semis. Only Robertson and Selby seem certain to reach the last stages but even they go out early sometimes.
The only shame about this particular tournament is the final is going to be a walk over. Hendry just said it.. the other semi is the final now.”
And how often do we see 2 player playing brilliantly the previous round only to next round at times the same 2 players against each other barely able to make a break in excess of 3 pots.
There are many players playing very good or brilliantly but not consistently so.
Davis will no doubt be very annoyed that Hendry said that. Mind you it won’t stop Davis tomorrow forecasting that it will be a great classic anyway.
