  • Think Williams deserved to win. Higgins made too many mistakes in the frames before the interval. Great match. Williams has the guile to beat Trump.

      Getting ahead of yourself there! Brecel's pulled it back!

      • I had a feeling that Brecel's style would unsettle Trump and so it's proven. Similar to the session he had against Ding, he can humiliate his opponent and he also has this ability to rub it in too. Hard for Trump to turn this around, once Brecel gets on a roll.

        Probably a Brecel Vs Ronnie final on the cards.

        • That missed blue cost John Higgins at least 50 grand, possibly 450 grand.

          No wonder he looked p1ssed in that interview.

          • Can't believe some of the balls I've seen potted today. Those two reds near the cushion from distance Williams potted in the decider, unbelievable, OK the pockets do seem generous, but even so.
            Brecel and Trump are just ridiculous.

              lol. Yes still all to play for but I think Trump will prevail although I would love to see Luca progress.

              • Surprised BBC2 went with the O Sullivan match, poor or lazy preset choice i think.

                  It's their default position, if Ronnie's playing, he's on.

                    Yes mate, I’ve not been this confident about picking up since I backed Cain Velasquez to beat Brock Lesnar years ago

                      Thanks. Yeh great performance against Luca who looked pretty strong.

                      Did you get involved in the Eubank v Benn junior fight? I found it difficult to get past the hype tbh.

                        I would have backed Eubank jnr but the price was too short, it was a great fight but a poor boxing match, Eubank looks cooked now and Benn is bang average

                        • Great from Trump, really showed his match-play maturity compared to Luca. Hope he learns from it.

                          Here are their TNT/Eurosport PMIs:

                          • Wondering if anyone out there would be interested in swapping the 7pm Session on Saturday (Judd v Williams) for the 2:30pm Session on Saturday (Ronnie v Xintong) …. Both are the final sessions of semis

                            • Trump needed a fast start to the evening session and he duly delivered. Thought Brecel threw his toys out the pram somewhat, I didn't like the hit and hope escapes from snookers, I get sometimes you have no choice but it comes across as disrespectful, especially when he fluked so many snookers back.

                              • Didn't see any info as to why Zhao was given a top 64 place yesterday, normally would have been on a two year card starting from next season.

                                If the Shanghai Masters is in July again its only an invitational anyway, they simply could have placed him in the first round.

                                Hazel mentioned it just before play started last night.
