The odds of them winning those eight matches to meet in the final are......
0.70*0.70*0.65*0.65*0.60*0.60*0.55*0.55 = 0.023 = 2.3% chance is once every 44 years
That seems about right. Even if Selby and O'Sullivan were both 80% to win it was 0.20*0.20 = 0.040 =4% chance that they both lose. Much much better chance than lightning striking you or winning the lottery.
In tennis its obviously not like that.Ferrer never manages to defeat Federer for example and Nadal is unbeatable on the clay and gets into finals every time

Don't know which match they're planning to show, though."Kryten, isn't it round about this time of year that your head goes back to the lab for retuning?"

Why in the name of all that is holy are they showing a repeat of the Matthew Steven's match??
Tell me it's because there's no live snooker for some reason.
ETA: I think I'm losing the friggin plot! I think this is live. I was under the impression this match was done and dusted yesterday.Last edited by Billy; 22 April 2018, 07:18 PM."Kryten, isn't it round about this time of year that your head goes back to the lab for retuning?"
