Tag 2 der World Open in Yushan brachte viele Favoritensiege. Doch einige von den Favoriten mussten sich arg strecken, um eine Runde weiterzukommen. Andreas Thies und Christian Oehmicke fassen die Matches vom Dienstag gewohnt kompakt zusammen. Dominic Dale hatte gar nicht so viel Zeit, seinen Quali-Sieg gegen Ronnie O'Sullivan zu feiern. Gleich an Tag 2 war er in seiner ersten Runde gefordert. Sein Gegner hieß Fergal O'Brien. Während Dale gegen O'Sullivan noch überzeugendes Breakbuilding gezeigt hatte, war ihm diese Leistung im Veteranenduell gegen O'Brien nicht vergönnt. Dale unterlag mit 3-5. Für beide Spieler geht es darum, möglichst viele Siege einzufahren, um weiter auf der Main Tour zu verbleiben. Für O'Brien geht dieser Weg erst mal in Yushan weiter. Ansonsten sahen die Zuschauer in China und im TV viele Favoritensiege. Doch einige der "großen Jungs" mussten arg strampeln, um eine Runde weiterzukommen. Judd Trump oder auch John Higgins zeigten keine überzeugenden Leistungen, konnten aber knapp gewinnen. Euch gefällt dieser Podcast oder ihr habt Kritik, Fragen oder Anregungen?
