Saudi Arabia Masters recap - Ken Doherty overcomes Jimmy White in battle of snooker icons after Reanne Evans completes win

Doherty nails double to seal first frame in battle of legends against White

Video credit: TNT Sports

Ken Doherty showed his enduring class with a 4-1 win over fellow Crucible icon Jimmy White in the first round of the Saudi Arabia Masters in Jeddah.
The 1997 world champion always looked the likelier winner against six-time world finalist White, who toiled for consistency on Friday night despite being presented with plenty of chances to score.
In the first meeting of the evergreen duo in a ranking event in 15 years, the Irishman produced breaks of 96 and 64 to end the challenge of White, who edged out Doherty 5-3 in their first meeting in the quarter-finals of the Mercantile Credit Classic in 1991.
Doherty's reward for overcoming White is a match with Latvian teenager Artemijs Zizins in the second round on Saturday night.
Meanwhile, 12-time women's world champion Reanne Evans battled to a 4-2 win over Kreishh Gurbaxani in the first round.
"First up on the match table can be daunting, we were both edgy at the start, then I found a bit of rhythm and fell over the line," said Evans, who will face Liam Davies in the second round on Saturday afternoon.
"I am trying to relax more this season, just trying to play rather than trying to win.
"There are good and bad days but I've had three good ones so far.
"It's great to experience new places and I have won, so I'm enjoying it! Hopefully I can play better in the next round."

Result: White 1-4 Doherty

"The cloth was lovely. Very reactive. I settled in okay," said Doherty on TNT Sports. "I was cueing okay around the pink and black. Just the long shots I have to work on. We've had some great battles over the years. He's still a legend. 118 years between us. It is great we are still playing. To be playing on the TV table is a bonus. I'll keep smiling and keep trying and see what happens."

White 1-3 Doherty (52-81)

White tries to come off top cushion twice. Can't get action on white to pot brown. Make that four times. And there comes the concession. This match is a done deal, and Doherty wins.

White 1-3 Doherty (52-73)

Would you believe it? White misses a straight yellow after Doherty fails to sink the yellow. Brutal moments for White in his chair. Ken then knocks in green with spider. Only looking for the brown here...and he can't drop in brown dead weight..remarkable...

White 1-3 Doherty (48-64)

White with a brilliant piece of cueing to knock in red to right middle off side rail. But he is not on final red. Goes for broke and slams in red along top cushion. Safety to follow from Jimmy after a timely 28. Back to 20 points behind. And Ken can't escape from a snooker. Hits yellow the second time.

White 1-3 Doherty (27-64)

Plenty of points with Jimmy to play for. Could be a huge steal for White. That he never envisaged.

White 1-3 Doherty (16-64)

Jimmy with a thick safety shot. A big error, but Ken then misses red to right centre on brink of victory. 64 is not the winning thrust. White back at table. Incredible miss by Doherty.

White 1-3 Doherty (16-41)

This should be like shelling peas for the 1997 world champion. Where does it go wrong from here? Difficult to see him not getting over the line at this visit.

White 1-3 Doherty (16-25)

Doherty has always looked the likelier scorer in this match, and he has another big chance here. Into the lead in frame, the frame he needs to seal victory. Reds are all open. As are pink and black. Golden chance to kill off the match.

White 1-3 Doherty (16-0)

Jimmy requiring the next three frames to avoid tumbling out here. Which is far from beyond him. Could be a re-rack on the go in the fifth frame of the evening. But that is quickly averted with white returning to the baulk end.

White 1-2 Doherty (2-59)

This has been very impressive from Ken. In complete control of the white ball. Excellent from the Irishman. In goes frame-ball red. That should be that. Jimmy has seen enough of frame. Ken within one now of victory.

White 1-2 Doherty (2-44)

Chance for Ken to steady the ship after the stop-start nature of the third frame. Superb blue to the yellow pocket to continue visit to table. Doing his work here with reds and pinks. Break moves to 44 in no time at all. Chance to get frame won for a 3-1 lead.

White 1-2 Doherty (1-0)

Ken looked in control at 2-0, but went off boil in frame three and Jimmy is right back in the hunt. Big frame coming up. They're all big frames in this short format.

White 0-2 Doherty (63-29)

Jimmy fighting the good fight out there. Doherty had plenty of opportunities. Didn't take any of them, and the result is a White revival. Clears up to pink. Back to 2-1 behind in race to four.

White 0-2 Doherty (43-29)

This is a scrappy frame with both players missing so many balls, but Jimmy has chance to register his first frame of evening. Onto the colours.

White 0-2 Doherty (19-29)

Jimmy missing a routine red, but is not punished. Doherty then misses a fairly simple red before White cans red to right middle. Doherty also faltering a bit as they head for the final four reds in frame. White missing red with rest and he looks completely bemused.

White 0-2 Doherty (13-27)

Excellent long red by Jimmy there. Had to go there really. Will make him feel better as he sets about constructing a decent effort. But he loses the white trying to hold for the black. Chance gone.

White 0-2 Doherty (0-26)

Doherty keeping matters tight, looking for another scoring chance to show his quality.

White 0-2 Doherty (0-12)

Jimmy yet to really settle out there. Which is an issue in such a short-format match. Ken plucks out another double on a red to get the party started in the third frame.

White 0-2 Doherty (0-0)

Going for 28 minutes. Jimmy breaks off in the third frame. Ken can't slot a long red, but Jimmy doesn't punish with red to right middle staying out.

White 0-1 Doherty (25-106)

A quite majestic clearance of 96 from the Dubliner. Vintage break from the 1997 world champion, who is halfway to victory in Jeddah.

White 0-1 Doherty (25-79)

Punishing the White error fully here, and this looks like it has 2-0 written all over it. Ken set to cash in.

White 0-1 Doherty (25-51)

Back in the day, this would be a case of Goodnight Vienna. But can Ken conjure up the old magic? Break races to 35 with an average shot time of 16 seconds.

White 0-1 Doherty (25-17)

Jimmy with a horror safety attempt. Sticks Ken right in among them. What is the tariff going to be for that White blunder?

White 0-1 Doherty (25-10)

White will look to roll in a few points at this visit. Still looks very comfortable at close range. But he then misses thin pink before going in off. Ken butchers a long red trying to go in off pink. Chance back with Jimmy, but he can't pot pink over a top pocket.

White 0-1 Doherty (8-4)

Ken goes for a long red, but can't get the right potting angle. Jimmy then with a lovely red down the length of the table to the yellow pocket to hold for the black. Super from Jimbo.

White 0-0 Doherty (1-77)

A few scoring visits needed by the Irishman, but sinks a lovely double on a red in finalising his lead. Jimmy gives the nod. Ken into a 1-0 lead.

White 0-0 Doherty (1-69)

Double kiss on a red by Jimmy trying to release a red from side rail, and he hands Ken chance to get first frame done and dusted.

White 0-0 Doherty (1-58)

Frame not yet a done deal as Doherty misses tough red along baulk cushion. Will Jimmy get chance to launch the counter punch?

White 0-0 Doherty (1-52)

Blunder by Jimmy going for a long-range red. Sticks up an easy starter for the Irishman, who will look to get frame won here and now for a 1-0 lead.

White 0-0 Doherty (1-37)

Jimmy forced to sit back and wonder how much that error will cost him. And the answer is only 37 as Ken misses red with rest when he look poised to do some serious damage.

White 0-0 Doherty (0-24)

Error by Jimmy leaving a red in pack for Ken to knock in. And that is a decent shot by Doherty, who will look to make some progress here.

White 0-0 Doherty (0-1)

Jimmy tries to drop in a long red. Inches off draining that effort. Nice safety shot by Ken to get white behind yellow in baulk.

White 0-0 Doherty (0-1)

The main table is ready to host a meeting of two icons of the game. White breaks off in the first frame of the night. And an early error as he collides with the blue. No position on a colour for Ken after slotting red. Safety to follow.

White and Doherty the main event

The Crucible icons will be on the main showpiece table in Jeddah after the match involving Irish youngster Leone Crowley and Ziyad Alqabbani is finished up. Crowley completes the 4-2 win to seal his progress to a meeting with Aaron Hill on Saturday afternoon.

An evergreen battle on the baize coming up at 6pm

Jimmy 'Whirlwind' White and Ken Doherty are set to compete in a battle of the ages in the first round of the Saudi Arabia Masters in Jeddah next month. The £2,302,000 ranking event is the richest in snooker beyond the World Championship with a first prize of £500,000, the same sum that Zhao Xintong earned with his Crucible victory in May. White and Doherty first met in a ranking event in 1991.

Evans 3-2 Gurbaxani (58-43)

Brilliant winning cut on the pink to seal the deal. That is a superb match-winning pot. She is through to round two. What a marathon battle, but job done in the end. She will face Liam Davies next.

Evans 3-2 Gurbaxani (52-43)

Frame has been running for 41 minutes as Evans misses a tough blue to right centre to seal victory. Kreishh knocks in blue, but misses tough pink to yellow bag. Reanne then has a pop at the pink to win the match, but nowhere near potting angle. All extremely edgy out there.

Evans 3-2 Gurbaxani (48-35)

Another huge fluke on the yellow by Evans prompts the apology. All about the brown on baulk cushion this frame you suspect. Reanne only requires green and brown for victory.

Evans 3-2 Gurbaxani (46-35)

Another frame in this match heads for the colours. Has been the theme of the afternoon.

Evans 3-2 Gurbaxani (46-35)

Back to 15 points behind on the final two reds, but out of position and just the safety shot to follow from Gurbaxani. Winner of this match will face Liam Davies in the last 112 on Saturday.

Evans 3-2 Gurbaxani (46-22)

Reanne inching towards the winning line out there. Moves 32 points clear, but then misses a tough cutback red. Poor choice of shot really, and has given her opponent the chance to claw his way back.

Evans 3-2 Gurbaxani (30-11)

A comfort break for Gurbaxani before he returns to the fray with Evans holding a handy lead of 19 points.

Evans 3-2 Gurbaxani (11-6)

Another couple of misses early in this sixth frame which sees the penalty points increase to 48 points for the match from Kreishh.

Evans 3-2 Gurbaxani (0-1)

Can Gurbaxani force the deciding frame in Jeddah?

Evans 2-2 Gurbaxani (66-53)

A brilliant clearance on final colours by Reanne of 27 to pinch the fifth frame for a 3-2 lead. That was clinical and classy. Needs one more frame for victory. Just when the match looked to be drifting away from her.

Evans 2-2 Gurbaxani (31-53)

Up to 44 points now in fouls conceded by Kreishh in this match. Lead he has built in the frame is quickly disintegrating on the back of misses. Gets there off two cushions to hit a red at fourth time of asking. Match running for two hours.

Evans 2-2 Gurbaxani (23-44)

Heading for final three reds in frame as Evans misses a red with the rest. Still well in the hunt though in the fifth frame.

Evans 2-2 Gurbaxani (15-40)

Reanne back at the table here as she bids to close the gap on her opponent in this fifth frame. But a tricky red bridging over another red doesn't drop. That is disappointing. So many chances coming and going in this contest.

Evans 2-2 Gurbaxani (1-36)

An opening 36 from Gurbaxani this time, but a red to left centre eludes him. He then goes for a long red, but miles off the potting angle.

Evans 2-1 Gurbaxani (55-68)

Every frame of this match has been hunted down to the colours. This one no different with Reanne back to within 17 points on the final five colours. In goes green, brown and blue, but Reanne misses the final pink with rest. In goes the pink from Kreishh, and this error-strewn match is all level at 2-2. Who will hold their nerve heading for the winning post?

Evans 2-1 Gurbaxani (37-62)

32 points given away so far in fouls by Gurbaxani as another white drops down the yellow bag. This frame remains a live issue after Reanne bundles in a red to right middle. What a pot that is.

Evans 2-1 Gurbaxani (18-62)

But he misses the red to right centre on 62. On cusp of frame too. So still work to be done despite that timely run.

Evans 2-1 Gurbaxani (18-54)

Settling into the surroundings and also the pace of the table. Could have been 3-0 behind, but looks likely to restore parity at 2-2.

Evans 2-1 Gurbaxani (18-46)

Highest break of the match in progress here by Kreishh, who is sporting a quite glorious pair of Dennis Taylor specs out there. This has been very smooth so far.

Evans 2-1 Gurbaxani (14-0)

First player to four frames advances to the second round...this match still in the balance. 14 from Reanne to gain a slender lead.

Evans 2-0 Gurbaxani (57-65)

Stunning long pink is holed by Gurbaxani, and he lands perfectly on black in baulk. In goes black to yellow bag, and he is back to 2-1 behind.

Evans 2-0 Gurbaxani (57-52)

Kreishh potting green, brown and blue, but decides to refuse the pink with rest. Attempts a snooker, but fails to get white behind black. And on we go on pink and black.

Evans 2-0 Gurbaxani (57-40)

But Gurbaxani misses a black off the spot. That is a brutal miss. How costly will that prove to be? In goes the yellow, but no position on green. Just safety to follow.

Evans 2-0 Gurbaxani (47-39)

This looks very promising here for Reanne to establish a 3-0 lead. Only three reds left on deck. Nothing overly daunting left. But she misses red to right centre. What a golden chance has gone there.

Evans 2-0 Gurbaxani (32-31)

Well, that is such a disappointing end to the latest visit to the table by Kreishh, who compiles 31, but then misses black. Reanne coming back to the table, but she is out of position on only 24. Story of the match so far really. But a terrific plant on reds is picked out to continue this break.

Evans 2-0 Gurbaxani (0-16)

This third frame is obviously a biggie for Gurbaxani, who is trying to improve upon a high break of only 32. A nice long red by Kreishh early doors in third frame.

Evans 2-0 Gurbaxani (68-61)

Superb winning black by Reanne to seal the deal in the second frame. That was a corking pot. 37-minute frame, but it falls to Evans, who leads 2-0 in race to four.

Evans 1-0 Gurbaxani (61-61)

Fair to say, this match looks wide open with neither player overly convincing. Evans almost sticks up black to left middle, but it runs on just enough in the nick of time.

Evans 1-0 Gurbaxani (61-61)

Reanne suddenly into the lead after Kreishh flukes brown, but sees white disappear down left centre. Has been a seismic turnaround in this frame as Evans then pokes home blue, but sees pink stick up over top jaw. Kreishh cans pink and slots a superb black along top cush to force the re-spotted black.

Evans 1-0 Gurbaxani (48-48)

Well, this is incredibly tense as Gurbaxani twice misses the brown. Warned he could forfeit the frame for a third straight miss, but crashes straight into the object ball. Over 11 minutes on the brown. So far.

Evans 1-0 Gurbaxani (40-48)

Reanne hauling four points back from a snooker after Kreishh misses the brown with his swerve shot. Over seven minutes being spent on the brown. Nothing coming easy out there at moment.

Evans 1-0 Gurbaxani (36-48)

All very taut in this opening match in Jeddah heading for final four colours. Reanne needs them all. Kreishh requires brown and blue.

Evans 1-0 Gurbaxani (31-48)

This second frame being played in fits and starts as Reanne misses pink to left middle. What a chance that was. Onto the colours.

Evans 1-0 Gurbaxani (23-32)

Into the lead in the frame then as break reaches 31 with pink downed. Cue ball control not really with it as a mid-range pink fails to drop. That is frustrating.

Evans 1-0 Gurbaxani (16-10)

Great log red by Kreishh. Caught that as sweet as candy. And nicely on yellow to follow. Chance then to get some points on the board here.

Evans 1-0 Gurbaxani (16-0)

Reanne first to the punch in the second frame of a possible seven in this match. Would dearly love to weigh in here with a hefty total. But misses a straight blue to right middle. Which is not ideal.

Evans 0-0 Gurbaxani (58-36)

A lovely little snooker by Gurbaxani, but good hit off one cushion across table to hit blue. Gurbaxani then flukes blue that he didn't want. Evans finalises the frame by holing long pot on pink seconds later. A nice start for Reanne.

Evans 0-0 Gurbaxani (52-27)

Lovely long green by Evans to close in on first frame. World No. 91 Kreishh will need a snooker here otherwise it is a 1-0 lead for the TNT Sports pundit.

Evans 0-0 Gurbaxani (49-27)

So many chances for both players in this frame, but looks like it is going to come down to a battle on the colours. Reanne only requiring the green to leave her opponent needing a snooker.

Evans 0-0 Gurbaxani (48-18)

Kreishh missing a tricky red to left centre. But again, only six from Reanne. Making heavy weather of this first frame.

Evans 0-0 Gurbaxani (34-18)

A few misses coming off the cues of both players as the Indian professional can't sink a blue at pace trying to get back down for reds. Reanne handed an unexpected reprieve, but only adding nine at that visit.

Evans 0-0 Gurbaxani (25-2)

Well, that is what you call a Brucie bonus as Reanne enjoys a massive fluke on a red to right middle to gain access to the table. Quick hand of apology, but does anybody really feel sorry when you get a spot of running? Only 25 though as Evans misses pink to right middle. That is a premature end to the break.

Evans 0-0 Gurbaxani (0-1)

Off we go then after a nice introduction to Jeddah with some dancers showing their skills before the snooker players get their respective cue arms working. Early error by Reanne in the safety department, and Gurbaxani produces a fine snooker after slotting a red early on.

Boys and girls on the baize

12-time women's world champion Reanne Evans is the headline act in the afternoon session in Jeddah. She faces Kreishh Gurbaxani for the first time on the main professional circuit. Looks a nice one to get the action up and running in the chase for the £500,000 first prize. 144 players will be whittled down to one a week tomorrow when the champion is crowned.

Battle on the Baize is about to commence

Welcome to day one of the Saudi Arabia Masters

The second staging of the world's richest ranking event beyond the World Championship is worth £500,000 to the winner, a cheque which world No. 1 Judd Trump scooped last year with a dramatic 10-9 win over Mark Williams in the final frame. Leading 62-0, the Welshman was almost over the line, but a clinical 72 clearance from Trump saw him snatch the title and seven-figure first prize on the final black.
