Not a huge snooker fan but Absolutely love watching Ronnie O’Sullivan play, so if he’s on I’ll watch, if not I can take it or leave it.
Looking forward to Ronnie against Ding tonight, nicely poised at 8-8, first to 13.

Indeed, Ding was unfortunate yesterday not to be ahead as he didn’t get the rub of the green on a couple of frame winning shots when well placed. It allowed Ronnie back in to the game and has set up an intriguing final session tonight.

Blink and you’ll miss a frame here!

Ronnie played some good stuff tonight to beat Ding, great watch.
It's painful watching McGill against Clarke.

Ronnie did prove himself to be human tonight by missing a couple of blacks off the spot.
Brilliant post-match interview from him too.

Ronnie leaving himself with work to do here. Several times he’s made uncharacteristic errors and Williams has capitalised. O’Sullivan looking a bit twitchy now. As amusing as it was in one sense I wonder if his Interview last night has added some unnecessary drama and pressure?

Selby back to his best leading Robertson 11-5

Ronnie clawed back to 8-8 then! A brilliant final session in store.

Ronnie is still missing shots you wouldn't expect him to but heyho a win is a win.
The semi-final of Selby against O'Sullivan should be tasty and you can't help but feel the winner of that will win the whole thing looking at the other side of the draw.

That has to be the craziest deciding frame ever in snooker.....WOW
Great emotional interviews from both players after as well.
Kyren Wilson reaches the final.

Very. He didn't lose because RS hit the shots too hard. He'll enjoy his pint of bitter tonight.
The fact none of the pundits or commentators thought it worth mentioning until after the interview with him probably says a lot. If I was Selby I’d be happy seeing that, thinking his head has gone n that gives me a better shot.

One of the biggest ‘spoilers’ to ever play the game and he has the nerve to complain about someone else’s play.
He’ll be gutted when Ronnie retires and just 6 blokes in China are watching his matches.
Excellent player but he’s embarrassed himself there.

Selby was happy to win the frames when Ronnie was recklessly blasting the balls, sour grapes if you ask me.
Hope it's a close and entertaining final but I can't see Wilson living with Ronnie.

Pretty much sums it up for me too!

Often upped his game and went from 8-2 down to 10-7 unlucky not to make it 9-8,
All to play for tomorrow.
Genuinely want this kid to do well and it definitely made for better viewing having a competitive edge but the actual standard of snooker has been poor overall. I do think the ‘hangover’ of those monster semi finals are the reason for it. Fingers crossed they will be out their system by start of play today.

Poor from Kyren this after noon Ronnie a lot better 7-1 to Ronnie leaving him on 17-8
Only needs one frame tonight poor Kyren needs to win all 10 frames.

Shame for Kyren really, it hasn't happened for him in the final has it after a little run earlier on.
Looks like the poor bloke is only going take home £200,000. ;D

It feels really comfortable for Ronnie and he’s not having to do much to be coasting in this match. If anything he’s got more gears to go into but doesn’t need them. As parrot said it’s all about Levels and O’Sullivan, barring a miracle, is a cut above.
