Hi melon head here...just a ,little jibe on another post , but I will reply sensibly here....
My point was ,, and still is ,,, the best players in all sport win under the greatest pressure,,, my point was and is although Ma long is defo no1 player in the world at the min,,, I have seen him live many times...he is brilliant..but ,,,,but,,, under extreme pressure of the highest calibre he does seem to just wobble,, choke,, falter,, call it whatever you like.. dont get me wrong I wanted him to beat wang hao in rotterdam,,,,and he should have,,, but failed..He wins pro tour events for fun,,,but they are just apperitifes...not the main dish....
Maybe liu guoliang knows more than us.... why did it take him so long to pick him as the 3rd player,,, does he trust him?
Now losing to a 17 year old in the qualiifers, a player who I would bet has never beaten him before...
Anyway he will still qualify and defo get the semi in at least in London but will he do a Waldner and win it
..Just off for a slice of my fav fruit..... Melons....
