Those 8 frames in a row against Bingham have really sharpened Trump, looks in ominous form now and this match could be over afrer a single session unless Williams can make it 3-1.
3-1 and Williams finally gets a bit of luck.
Spoke too soon
Stick a fork in Mark. Too easy for Judd
Long potting the story of the game.
Not a chance of him getting back into this.
Which got Williams over the line against Yan.
Williams struggling here. He’d snap your hand off for a 3-5 out of this.
5:08 km/m pace, not too shabby
Williams long pot sighting!
And another stinker to follow and leave Trump another easy table. This is done.
Judd has won 15 of 16 frames since Bingham missed ‘that’ black
All about confidence with Judd.
What a start for John Higgins. He has taken the first three frames in the battle of the all time greats and Ronnie looks rattled.
Ronnie must be in one of his “can’t be arsed” moods.
Good break by Ronnie with the balls awkwardly spread. He’s on the board. 1-3.
Ronnie beginning to flow now and he reels off a third frame in succession with a 116 break to make it 3-3. Could be a tough task for John to avoid a 5-3 deficit by the end of this session.
4-4 in the battle of the champions at the end of the first session but O’Sullivan’s fluency the dominant factor as the session wore on after Higgins had got the dream start, and he’ll be happier with the scoreline.
Ronnie looks very good.
Jimmy White looking like he was pulled into studio straight from his couch!
