Steve Davis didn't play as well in that afternoon session. When he was 3_1 down, Davis had 2 chances to win that 5th frame. When he was on a break of 35 he played a safety on that last red that was clinging to the cushion. He could of played the pot and gone on to win the frame. His second chance was a blue into the yellow pocket with the blue ball very near the yellow pocket. Steve plays a top spin shot instead of a screw back for the pink into the green pocket. Playing the blue with top spin means the cue ball has to travel further and it kills the pace. He probably wouldn't of lost that frame with Stephen fluekin the pink if Steve took his chances. Stephen seemed to take his chances stronger than Steve.
I couldn't be a snooker player I'd lose the head a smack the balls as hard as I could 'like pool players to much f ing around here 'it bound to be hard to hold such concentration 'I bet afterwards they get pissed
having watched this match few times , i defo think stephen hendry was by far the better player / and steve davis knew it / steve davis cue action was no longer / if steve davis just got on with potting balls rather than a meeting fr every shot he would been lots closer
I watched the full video and TBH if Hendry was playing any of the top 16 today I think he'd have lost and if he played any of the top 8 today he'd be quite a big underdog.
