My initial impression is that he probably won't do it. He had a decent game today, but seemed to fade, so I think his big lead probably came from him "overperforming" relative to his mean. But we'll find out!Tom S wrote: ↑Wed Jul 25, 2018 1:59 pm Great game-just the luck of the draw for Brian in the end- as he is a better player than present #1 seed Lewis imo. It was a great game with one of the most high quality I have seen in a prelim in the past few months. If I was a betting man, I would not put it past Bob making it to 8 as he had some great spots today.
Damn! I risked OVATOR in that round, and unusually for me, it's valid
I would agree that he over performed in the 1st half- he still did a good job, and though the score may not suggest it, I still think he shows promise (though I am yearning for one to liven the series up!)Gavin Chipper wrote: ↑Wed Jul 25, 2018 2:11 pmMy initial impression is that he probably won't do it.

I just think that this series has been a slow burner so far, and personally we have not necessarily seen a winner yet.Owen Carroll wrote: ↑Wed Jul 25, 2018 4:38 pmYou mean liven it up like Zarte did for series 78?Tom S wrote: ↑Wed Jul 25, 2018 3:33 pmI would agree that he over performed in the 1st half- he still did a good job, and though the score may not suggest it, I still think he shows promise (though I am yearning for one to liven the series up!)Gavin Chipper wrote: ↑Wed Jul 25, 2018 2:11 pm
