斯諾克冠軍聯賽第七日：梁文博惜敗 多特麥克勞德晉級

英倫飛鴻9月19日（王北方 趙雪湄）

格雷姆·多特（Graeme Dott）在對陣梁文博的決定性比賽中獲勝，晉級斯諾克冠軍聯賽第二階段，而羅裡·麥克勞德（Rory McLeod）也贏得了晉級的最後一場比賽。

梁文博之前分別以3-1和3:0擊敗了瓦赫迪（Soheil Vahedi）和扎克（Zak Surety），在第14組佔據了領先地位，而多特在以2-2戰平扎克之前也以3-1戰勝了瓦赫迪。

這意味著當梁文博在小組的最後一場比賽中對陣多特時，一場平局就足以讓他晉級。多特這位2006年的世界冠軍在第二局以100分的比分2-0領先，在第三局似乎也即將拿下，但是直到多特錯失了一顆黃色球後，讓梁文博在第三局扳回了一局。

中國球星梁文博及時地將自己的劣勢縮小了一半，兩人都有機會贏得決定性的最後一局，但是多特笑到了最後，以3比1的比分獲勝，並成為小組第一。

「第一場比賽可能是我打過的最糟糕的一場，」多特承認。「任何看了這場比賽的人都會對我有資格參賽感到驚訝。

「我在和瓦赫迪（Soheil Vahedi）的比賽中發揮的好了一些，在和梁文博的比賽中也打得不錯，儘管最後的時候我有點緊張。如果我打進了那顆黃色球，我會對自己的表現感到滿意，但我覺得最後我還是會輸掉比賽，你根本想不到梁文博在遙遙領先的時候輸掉比賽。」

第13組也是一直到最後一刻才決出勝負。在比賽進行到一半的時候，只有弗雷澤·派屈克（ Frazer Patrick ）確定失去晉級資格，而在第四場比賽中伊恩·伯恩斯（Ian Burns）和羅裡·麥克勞德（Rory McLeod）以2-2打平之後，我們無法得出最後的晉級結果。傑克·利斯沃斯基（Jack Lisowski）也在爭奪晉級名額，但在與伯恩斯的比賽中，他的平局結果意味著身為小組種子選手的他失去了晉級名額。

當時球牢牢地落進了麥克勞德的球袋裡;一場勝利會讓他晉級，只要不這樣，伯恩斯就會成為受益人。但是在本賽季重返巡迴賽的麥克勞德，以3-0的優勢鎖定了一個晉級下一階段的名額。

「我很高興，雖然贏的並不漂亮，但終究是勝利了，」他說。「利斯沃斯基試圖反擊，而我只是取得了最好的成績，所以這可能是最好的勝利。

「休息的一年讓我的壓力減輕了一些，我學會了比以前更好地享受比賽。」在我的生活中，我遇到過一些糟糕的情況;我失去了父母。事情並不美好，但有時間休息，重新磨合，然後再回來，感覺很好。我現在有了一個新的教練和一個不同的視角。

「我只是試圖享受我的斯諾克，這比什麼都重要。我沒有給自己任何壓力，我只想活在當下，享受當下。」

麥克勞德和多特將在第二階段的D組相遇，周日各組的獲勝者將與他們會合。馬克·塞爾比(Mark Selby)就是其中之一。

Graeme Dott won a dramatic deciding match against Liang Wenbo to advance to Stage Two of BetVictor Championship League Snooker, while Rory McLeod also won his last match to progress.
Liang had earlier beaten Soheil Vahedi 3-1 and Zak Surety 3-0 to take a commanding position in Group 14, while Dott had drawn 2-2 with Surety before also scoring a 3-1 win over Vahedi.
That meant a draw would be enough for Liang to advance when he faced Dott in the final match of the group. The 2006 World Champion took a 2-0 lead with a 100 in the second frame and looked set to advance in the third, until a missed yellow allowed Liang back in.
The Chinese star duly halved his deficit and both had chances to take the decisive final frame, but it was Dott who got over the line for a 3-1 win and top spot on the group table.
「The first match was probably the worst I have ever played,」 admitted Dott. 「Anybody watching that would be amazed that I qualified.
「I played better against Soheil and played okay against Liang, although it got a bit twitchy at the end. If I』d potted that yellow I』d have been happy with how I played, but I thought I』d lost it at the end, you wouldn’t have imagined Liang would have missed when he was so far in front.」
Group 13 also went right down to the wire. At the halfway stage only Frazer Patrick couldn’t qualify, and no further conclusions could be made after Ian Burns and Rory McLeod played out a 2-2 draw in match four. Jack Lisowski was also still in contention, but a share of the points against Burns meant the group seed could no longer advance.
The ball was then firmly in McLeod’s court; a win would see him advance, anything less and Burns would be the benefactor. But McLeod, returning to the tour this season, secured a 3-0 win to book his place in the next stage.
「I am happy, it wasn’t pretty, but a win is a win,」 he said. 「Lisowski was trying to get started and I just took what was there, so that was probably the best win.
「The year off took the stress away a little bit and I learnt to enjoy the game a little bit better than I was before. I had some bad situations in my life; I lost my mum and my dad. Things weren’t pretty but it was nice to have time off, to regroup and to come back. I』ve got a new coach and a different perspective now.
「I am just trying to enjoy my snooker more than anything. I’m not putting anything on myself, I just want to be present and enjoy it.」
McLeod and Dott will meet in Group D of Stage Two, where they will be joined by the winners of Sunday’s groups. Among those in action is Mark Selby. Coverage of both tables available at Matchroom.Live, with UK television coverage on Freesports
