    If Doherty can get out of this at 5-3 it's a massive result. He has been so poor. highest break of 24.

    What happens if this runs past 7 o clock? It's looking like it could do now.

    Eurosport are good for sticking with coverage.
    Might switch to Eurosport 2.

    What I mean is the next session is due to start at 7. Would those games be postponed?

    Session 1 ended after 7 frames.

    Doherty 3 - 4 McManus.

    Great result for Ken considering his highest break was 26!

    Match resumes tomorrow at 10:00 with a 9-frame session.

    Incredible result for him. McManus was awful, Ken was indescribably awful. Got out of jail big time.

    Ken has a great chance of going through considering how bad he is playing but whoever goes through in this match will get annihilated in the next round .

    but surely the darling of dublin can only improve, i watched it all this afternoon and he was like the player of last year and the several years before it, missing the simple shots and just very frustrating to watch, please ken get your crap together, your only 1 frame behind

    his highest break was only mid 30s i think too,very sloppy misses throughout and no positional play with the cueball,hes still in with a great chance even after playing arguably the worst session of the tournament to be 1 frame down is a great result

    selby though 13-9 he was made to sweat for a bit ali took two back off the 5 frame lead,he'll surely fancy his chances now to get to the semis

    Ali Carter is a very frustrating player to watch. Spends half the time shaking his head if small things go against him. He gets too worked up to ever win a World Championships.

    ya i was going to post that too

    I know he's had his misfortunes but he should quit the head shaking

    it's encouragement for the opposition

    he did have a very bad run of the ball in the frames before the last session it definitely got to him, he wasnt too bothered towards the end he knew he was beaten,a few of his attempts coming out of a safety were wild

    Ronnie just can't seem to catch up.

    Ken 6-3 down. McManus looks more on it today so Ken has to up his game big time.

    Why can't people pronounce Doherty right. Very annoying.
    Some safety from mc manus there to get behind the yellow.
    Poor Ken. Shots just aren't coming off for him at all.

    The English seem to pronounce it Doc-er-tea for some reason.

    Doherty -McManus has to be the worst match ever witnessed at the crucible. Torrid stuff.

    Love watching Ronnie break building.
    McManus should be winning by more considering how badly ken has played. Such a shame really.

    Can't believe how badly Ken is playing.

    He was great in qualifying and in the second session against Bingham.

    10-5 gives him a glimmer of hope. 11-4 he needs a comeback similar to 11 years ago v Hunter

    Ken did it against Paul Hunter, he was 15-9 down in the 2003 semi final and won it 17-16, and he done a similar thing playing williams in the final, he was 11-4 behind and he got beaten 18-16, he was level with williams at least once i think.

    so he's no stranger to:D comebacks

    Difference is Ken is nowhere near the player he was 11 years ago
