The Snooker World Championships is more interesting then ever. After the great battle yesterday between the Asian players Ding Junhui and Marco Fu, it was a real fast game.
Ken Doherty became the third former Crucible winner to exit the World Championships at the first hurdle after losing 10-5 to China's Liang Wenbo.The damage was mainly done in the first session when Liang, 21, knocked in six half centuries to take a 7-2 lead.
Doherty lost the first frame of the evening session, but took the next two of the next three to keep his faint hopes alive at 9-4 behind.
A nervy final frame saw both players miss chances before Liang sealed it.
Doherty follows world champions Steve Davis and Graeme Dott by losing in the opening round in Sheffield.
