Good start.
Murphy holding his nerve - you know he's in trouble though when he starts to pull those funny smug faces ha.

They talked nicely about each other before the match.Perhaps it gave Murphy some hope?

Do they know what they said about each other in the interview?

Well, i took that from the interviews on worldsnooker offficial site.The last time they played, Murphy criticized Ronnie before the match, then Ronnie crushed him hard at the table, and after the match Murphy complimented him to be a true legend.Now, before this match, Murhpy mentioned how impressive recent win of the tournament Ronnie had with only 6 misses and 98% pot success, and Ronnie said he would pay to watch the semifinal between Murphy and Luca, as both are great players.

[Ronnie's tip]

Brilliant last frame. The match is shaping up nicely. Probably the best scoreline so far from a neutrals POV. ROS is annoyed though. Two balls away from 3-0 and missing two frame balls at 4-4.

Can't wait for tonight.

Nice afternoon of snooker, good comeback from Murphy with four on the bounce.

Ronnie did play a few bad shots but was proper unlucky when the black didn't fall to make it 5-4 to him.

Still if that's the worst session he plays this week he should still win tonight.

He didn't play it to drop. He played it hard to go safe if missed.
He should be able to calm down a do go 7-6 in no time. From then it is cruising.

I'd say steve peters has a big job to do during the break if Ronnie is to come out looking confident this evening.

Murphy when his in needs to hit with his trade mark thump pots. Put the wind up Ronnie.

Hope Shaun wins...

It's about time again that talent of his gets put to good use.

Bottom line is he's got to go and do it.

[Ronnie's tip]

snooker is a nasty game lol.

This has "one of those days" feelings for O'Sullivan. The two frames he threw away and now this one by bad luck.

He looks like the world is against him tonight. Think Shauns got the best chance he is ever gonna get. Yep Ron's gone for sure after that last safety. His mind looks sure hes going to be unlucky. It's gonna take something a bit special to happen now for that dynamic to change I feel.

[Stevie1]

Yes looks like Ronnie is lost in his mind and will take somthing special to change the outcome

[RocketRoy1983]

Shaun is playing well but still can't rule out Ronnie.

[Ronnie's tip]

ROS to get session-whitewashed? Can see it happening with the way both are playing + the way the balls are going.

Bet he felt sick watching Murphy fluke the red.
