Snooker - Jimmy White Beats Bond
For Beijing Spot
Jimmy White beat Nigel
Bond 5-2 in the final qualifying round of the China Open in
Prestatyn.
The Londoner compiled
breaks of 93, 70 and 50 as he comfortably sealed his passage
to Beijing in March.
The victory boosts the
44-year-old's chances of ending the season inside the top 64
and guaranteeing his place on the 2007-08 World Snooker
circuit.
"The Whirlwind" was ranked
eighth last season but has fallen to 56th after a miserable
run of results.
White had failed to reach
the concluding phase of any of the season's first five
ranking tournaments.
He was beaten 6-1 by
Matthew Stevens in the first round of the Masters last week,
describing his performance as "devastating".
But he still needs to win
two matches in March to feature in the televised stage of
this year's World Championship in Sheffield.
Meanwhile, Leicester's
Mark Selby, who beat Ding Junhui, Stephen Hendry and Ronnie
O'Sullivan to reach the semi-finals five years ago, made a
break of 120 in the deciding frame of his 5-4 victory over
Mark Davis.
Jamie Cope, runner-up in
this season's Grand Prix, whitewashed Welshman Ryan Day 5-0
to book a first-round meeting with defending champion Mark
Williams.
