Adam Duffy beats Alex Davies to cruise into quarter-final – 2011 World Snooker Q School, Event 3
Adam Duffy has beaten Alex Davies by a frame score of 4-2 in the best-of-seven Round 4 match of the Event 3 of this season’s World Snooker Q School.
The last event of this year’s World Snooker Q School is being held at the World Snooker Academy in Sheffield.
Alex Davis, who previously shrugged off the likes of David Portman and Mei Xi Wen, has fallen down in the Round 4. However Duffy has produced high standards of game as of yet to secure a place in the quarter-final. He outplayed Lyndon Gordon, Stephen Rowlings
and Lee Walker in the previous rounds and now he has again registered a comfortable win over Davies.
It was very spectacular match and the overall score-line between both players was 67 (60)-30; 7-76 (72); 0-86 (86); 90 (78)-1; 70 (70)-30; 88 (88)-1.
Duffy started off in a straight forward fashion by hitting a classy break of 60 in the opening frame to draw the first blood 1-0. Davies also showed his break building skills in the following second and levelled the things at 1-1 with a carving break of
72. He then also took the third frame with another superb break of 86 to go in front at 2-1.
It looked as if with this speed and confidence Davies would win the match before he was stunned by his opponent, who bounced back into the game with all of his zeal, energy and strength and won all of the following three frames in a row to kill the match.
Though Davies did a great job in the second and third frames, Duffy showed no reeling effects and fired dazzling breaks of 78, 70 and 88 in the fourth, fifth and sixth frames respectively.
The Paul Hunter Scholar, Adam Duffy is now just one win away from gaining a place on the professional circuit. He has now set up a promising match with the former Scottish Open winner David Gray in the quarter-final.
