The first round is nearing completion and players are happy to play longer matches when the second round begins. First round is a best of 19 frames and the second round lengthens to a best of 25 frames. I&#8217;ve been impressed as always with the BBC coverage, favouring it over the Euro-sport coverage. Where else can you hear Ken Doherty say &#8220;Tree&#8221; and &#8220;Ting?&#8221; They&#8217;ve featured &#8220;Classic Shots&#8221; between sessions where Steve Davis, Neil Foulds, Dennis Taylor, John Virgo, and Doherty try to recreate famous shots and are scored on their attempts by the other competitors. Very entertaining! They also do a Q&amp;A with emailed queries for Davis and Virgo. Eleven days remain and I&#8217;m savouring every moment.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-3536 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div
