Taylor's been at his imperious best this week, probably the best I've seen him play in a long time. The determination was there from day 1, Sky have been bleating on all week about it being the only TV major that he currently holds so he was determined to retain. I, like Wire Fanatic, was hoping Wade would keep his good form up and would at least push Taylor but there was no living with the way he threw in the second session of the match. Game was over then. Taylor's week was summed up against Wes Newton 4-1 down and in leg 6 Newton was sitting on 32 Taylor takes out 150, leg 7 Newton sitting on 65 Taylor takes out 128, leg 8 Taylor again takes out 128 - from nowhere it's 4-4. Against anyone else Newton would've been looking at 6-2 or 5-3 by leg 8 and all of a sudden he's level, Newton's can't believe what's going on - Taylor walks away with it. It'll be interesting to see if he can keep it up at the European Championship this week or if it was the Blackpool determination that got him home this week.
