    It was always going to be that way. If he has any chance of beating Ronnie this time around he must get this last frame, if they go into the final session even it's game over IMO.

        I'm no ROS fan but it is probably better for the tournament that he wins rather than Hawkins, apart from anything else he has the best chance to stop my two least favourite players from winning it (Selby or Higgins).

        Though I will be cheering on Williams for a surprise 3rd title, however highly unlikely it may be I would love to see it happen.

        I absolutely agree with you though, Barry has to take a 9-7 lead here. Having already led 8-5 if it goes 8 all it is all over.

          I wouldn't necessarily agree, but I'm pretty sure Ron'll have something of a psychological advantage if it's 8-8 ....

          • Well...well done Baz! 9-7 up into the final session is pretty decent. Good session of snooker that was to watch.

                    Sorry, it's a bugbear of mine.

                          I like watching Selby and I'd be happy to see him lift it again, but I'm not sure he's quite up to it atm. I agree with you about MJW though, love to see him win it one more time but he's just too inconsistent these days.

                          Yes it gives him a fighting chance I suppose, but I'd still be surprised with a Hawkins win.

                          I think it's going to be Ding or Ronnie to win it this year, hopefully Ding.

                          • Mark Williams seems to have gone under the radar a bit as he was due to play Neil Robertson in the 2nd round,it wouldn't surprise me now if he made the final,but I don't think he does much for the casual viewer though.

                              Ding was my pick way back, but not sure he is up to it even though I would like to see him win. Selby is out of sorts and looks more depressed than White did, and I don't think Ronnie looks too bothered so I doubt he will lift his game and win. All of which leaves Higgins, and I have a horrible feeling it's going to be one of those tournaments where all the favourites fall early or knock each other out leaving Higgins to demolish a lesser ranked player in the final with his B game. Worst result of all for me.

                                I don't know, Mark seems to have a reasonable fan base? OK he isn't a photogenic as Trump or awe inspiring as ROS but he still ought to be someone proper snooker fans know about surely?

                                Anyway, Higgins about to go 10-6 here. I can't see any way back for Walden.
