Wuxi Classic 2011 - Day 1
Heeeeey! I've won! |
But first thing, first. Let's see how the morning session was; and here we have the matches: Peter Ebdon v. Rouzi Maimaiti and Matthew Stevens v. Yu Delu.
Incredible or not, I can't say that Ebdon's performance was a boring one, hitting two century breaks (113 and 107) having a strong saying in this and also the fact that he won the battle against China’s favorite wildcard, Rouzi Maimaiti 5-2. So, this is quite a good start for this John Malkovich of snooker. :-)
At a near table, something was happening and it was huge. With just a top break of 88 points, Yu Delu was taking the bull by his horns to lead the Welsh Dragon Stevens 4-2.

The second session of the day was starring names like Stephen Maguire, who took on Liang Wenbo and Graeme Dott, who faced Cao Yupeng.
Now, I'm going to tell you the truth: Maguire is secretly named Maquire. Yep! It is true! At least, that's how they spell it on the screen, so they must be right, don't you think? Well, there's always the possibility that they are morons :-P Wouldn't be the first time :-P
