Second round match between Ding Junhui and Stephen Hendry

Both players winning their first round matches by 10-9. Junhui played against great Fu. It's shame that two players met in first round cause in my opinion both of them are good enough to reach the final, or maybe even winning at Crucible. We saw amazing match. Junhui was leading 5-1, but Fu came to 5-5 and even got into the lead. Both players played good, at some stages of match great snooker. I must admit my favorite was Fu but Junhui showed more patient and had been more fortunate.

Hendry played against Mark Allen, very talented young player. Allen was leading the whole match, had 9-7 and finally lost. It's typical story of unexperienced, young player. Hendry had some very good stages in the match, but this is not the same Hendry from 3 years ago.

In match between Junhui and Hendry my favorite is young Chinese. Junhui is 21 years old, extremely talented with already 3 lifted trophies. This wasn't the best year for him, but he will get better and better every year. Hendry is struggling with his form. He plays 2 great frames in match and when you think he manage to find his play he plays 3 very bad frames. Hendry won Allen only cause Allen's inexperience. Junhui is much more experience and better player than Allen is and Hendry will have to play much better if he want to qualify to the next round. Based in what we saw this and last year that is unlikely to happen. In my opinion this for Junhui going to be easier match than one against Fu.

Good luck
