Steve Davis has an amazing deadpan sense of humour, as evinced by his response to the Spitting Image 'Steve "Interesting" Davis' sketch. As I recall he bought the puppet when the show ended, too. Murphy doing well in this frame, but I think he's up poo poo creek at this point.

This session with Fu and Robertson is going to be fantastic, they're very evenly matched. I've no idea who I'd like to go through, I think they're both great.

Holy poo poo that frame (21st) was amazing, it was crazy

They're both playing well below their best and it's making for a real tense affair.

HJB posted:They're both playing well below their best and it's making for a real tense affair. Don't think I've ever seen a foul given away by a waistcoat - errant elbows and clumsily dropping the cue with the rest, but that's a new one for me - fantastic refereeing to spot it too

Looks like Fu should win it now. That red to the corner was a great pot under pressure. Edit. FfS what a horrific kick. HappyCamperGL fucked around with this message at 22:41 on Apr 24, 2017 |

Okay here we go, this is the final session from Fu-Robertson for those who want to relive it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9-HUgrGvzg Frame 21 starts at 1:50:00, and the almighty final frame at about 2:41:00. Also here's the final session from Ding-Liang: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XN6Me1u3bBw Final frame starts at 2:40:30.

3 - 3 between Wilson and Higgins. And the warrior has broken his tip miscuing a shot. Nightmare for him.

It was a shame to see Fu get torn apart, and he never really got going in any of his matches (maybe the pressure of being my outside pick was too much to bear), but it has to be said this was phenomenal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY8-Eq3s01E

Great job by Ding in that match. The semi-finals to come should be bloody good to see.

Was really hoping for Ronnie to get his poo poo together and take the fight to Ding, but it was too little too late.

Managed to beat Selby's 143 though

So, thoughts as we have our final four. We inevitably have Mark Selby, who has actually been playing well on top of his usual grinding, Ding Junhui, who keeps on improving year on year and is perhaps one mental hurdle away from glory, John Higgins, who hit top form earlier in the season, lost it, but has rediscovered it, and Barry Hawkins, probably the most underrated player in the game right now, who is making a habit of just sort of being there towards the end.

Congratulations to Mark Selby on his third title.

Higgins getting to 5 would be nice, I think

Best session of the tournament last night, Selby and Ding. The H'ins are battling right now.

I think this morning's session can charitably be described as 'scrappy'.

Selby must be making GBS threads bricks right now.

Definitely well set up for a good final I think. Selby will be a wee bit more knackered than Higgins

It also happens to be the 10th anniversary of their previous final, where qualifier and rank outsider Selby got turned over by a Higgins who was entering a second period of success pre-ban. Higgins has found a third wind from somewhere but Selby starts as the big favourite this time around.

Selby only 7 - 10 down. I'd still make him favourite though.

HappyCamperGL posted:Selby only 7 - 10 down. I'd still make him favourite though. Definitely. If it was 11-6 Higgins then I'd maybe call it even, but Selby is quite capable of re-enacting Hendry-White 1992.

Are they allowed TV replays? That would have been the faintest of touches. Edit - the decision stands! That could cost Selby this frame. HappyCamperGL fucked around with this message at 21:53 on May 1, 2017 |
