just to put something down...
the score now is 2-1 for Michele Monaco...
i've seen this guy play, and normally Imran should be able to beat him easily, but it's alternate break and tapped balls...
so we'll see....
MM breaks, 2 balls gone, easy shot on the 2, draw back to the other side of the table for the 3, have to get back to the other side for the 4. the 4 is on the middle diamond on the short rail... (dutch expression, i don't know the english one), tries to put it safe...
IM: it's pottable, but has to get it back for the 5, does it, 5 left upper corner, hit it a bit hard, so the 7 can go to the middle or left upper corner... IM thinking.... the left upper corner... straight on the 8, great shot, easy 9....
2-2

frame 7:
IM: break, 1 ball on the break
position on the 2 and a chance to cannon onto the 9 and 3... problem, he's got to cut the 3 but the 4 is also on this side... makes it, pots the 4, 5, 7 easy 8, and the 5-2 is a fact...

frame 8
MM to break, 2 balls gone
position on the 1, but the 5 is in front of the pocket..... he still tries, but misses... but also leaves a safety for Imran
IM: rail and then a safety...
MM: tries a jump, gets it, leaving nothing easy for Imran
IM: cross bank, 2 is easy but how to get the position for the 3... he pots the 2, cannons onto the 3/9 but no possible pot... leaves a safety...
MM: another jump i think....he makes the jump but no pot...
IM: easy pot, position on the 5, roll towards the 6, draw back to the 7, and now the 9... and that one is also in....
2-6

frame 10 MM to break: dry one again... IM: has to stretch.. or the rest...stretches and misses... leaving a pottable one... MM: see if he takes this chance... he's pots the 1, the 2, 3 is almost already in the pocket, but now he's got a difficult cut on the 4, makes it, misses the 5.... IM: long pot on the 5, but the 6 is where the cueball is... and he misses too MM: sees that the 5 ended op near the 6... looking... they're both quick... pots the 5 but scratches into the middle pocket IM BIH, should be easy... or not? Im takes another look... had to draw but doesn't really do that... cut shot on the 7 makes it and gets the 8 of the rail... easy 8 and 9 now... and the score is 2-8 one more to go....
