Fu enjoys interval lead at World Championships

Marco Fu was taking revenge for last year’s first-round defeat by Martin Gould as he opened up a 6-3 lead in their re-match at the Betfred.com World Championship.

Paired again at the last-32 stage, former semi-finalist Fu dominated the opening session of their first-round match at the Crucible, and was in punishing form as the pair battled it out for the right to meet Judd Trump next.
