Snooker

147 by Stephen Hendry on day one

Amazing day so far, a 147 on the first day is absolutely incredible.

Robertson making three centuries in a row, and Michaela showing cleavage.

What more could you ask for

Quite a first day what with John Higgins scraping into round 2 with a 10-9 win over Liang Wenbo in an absorbing encounter.

Michaela naked.

World Championship Snooker Xtreme with Michaela doing a naked strip as she sets up the balls. Just press your red button at...... Oh bugger I've gone back into babeshow mode .

Edit: Cao Yupeng looks to be a very bright prospect. He has sent Mark Allen tumbling out the championship. 3 seeds gone already and if Hendry completes his win against Bingham it will be 4.

Ebdon lost
Chubbycheeks Stephen Lee lost
Tubs Murphy lost

Good good

Its been a feature of this championship that many of the seeded players have fallen at the first hurdle which in my view good for the game. The snooker circuit is that much more competitive now because of the PTC events increasing the amount of tournaments and matchplay for all the players. This is sharpening up the game of many players and making matches harder to win even against qualifiers.

It's been very good so far - I haven't watched as much snooker in years. Robertson looked very good yesterday and Ali Carter has also been impressive. Apart from that it's absolutely wide open. Good stuff. I wish they'd get rid of Rob Walker though, there's just no need for that level of enthusiasm.

Its very open. I think anyone out of Maguire, Trump, Hendry, Robertson, Williams or Carter could win. And maybe just maybe if Ronnie could keep his concentration and patience he might be more of a factor than I thought. Its the best World Championship in years already and I have been watching it since I was a little lad .

The way it's gone so far, I still think it's Robertson's to lose.

Carter v Trump could be a cracker, if Carter plays like he did in his first round match a shock could well happen.
