The Snooker Thread (Part 2)

If Higgins stays with Ronnie, you’d give him every chance if it’s in the balance at the business end. Higgins was poor for a lot of that Quarter Final though and a more clinical player than Lisowksi would have blown him away. I can see Ronnie running away with it and winning something like 17-6/17-7.

Other one harder to call. Trump by his own admission was out of sorts coming into tournament and played as such most of the way through it. He might just have turned a corner though with that comeback from 5-8 down against Bingham, when it looked like it was going to be 5-9. I’d give Trump a tentative nod to beat Williams.

Would agree about Yan. Trump and Robertson were around for a number of years before they won the Worlds. So were Ebdon, Dott and Ken etc. Ronnie, Higgins, Williams were generational talents but most players have to serve an apprenticeship. Yan and Zhao should win it.

A lifetime ban for failing to report an illegal approach and intentionally giving the impression he was prepared to act in breach of betting rules ???

I remember thinking at the time that 6 months was harsh.

A lifetime ban. Good Lord :man_facepalming:

out of the 4 that are left williams has played the best so far except for a few frames yesterday he has been in top form. I deffo would have them closer in the betting than what they are. i probably would be 1.8ish trump.

Ronnie hasn’t played that well either the same can be said for higgins too. Saying all that i would expect an 4-5 frame win for ronnie here.

Is he quick?

Use to be. He is just getting back into it after a period of downtime last year.

Both players very jittery in the opening frame.

First frame re-rack, Ffs.

they should ban reracks give them 3 shots and then tell them they have to play away.

Cracking long pot.

2 frames Williams has handed to Trump already.

You dont want to give Judd confidence. If you do, he will roll all over you.

A pure poacher if you break down he will clean up.

He does not make that opening pot if he loses 1st two frames.

Williams getting rotten luck so far.
