I saw the last few frames of the Selby - Maflin match. It showed why the longer matches are so much better.

Selt came from 9-4 down against Hawkins to force a decider, with his run of 5 frames in a row including breaks of 102, 109 and 94. But Hawkins edged it in the final frame.
Ali Carter knocked in a break of 127 in his first frame at the Crucible since overcoming cancer for the second time.

An excellent break to win it. He looks like one for the future. Maguire, meanwhile, is at a real crossroads in his career. Willie Thorne described him as a legend at the start of the match - I wouldn't put him anywhere near legend status. He's a good player (and a character, undoubtedly) but one who's massively underachieved due to his attitude on and off the table.

Ding Junhui bizarrely missed out on a 147 this morning - having potted 12 reds and 12 blacks, he played for position on the blue, not realising he was on course for a maximum.
