Going to the final, hoping I get to see a Ronnie/Trump Final!

Be funny if Ronnie decided to withdraw from this haha

will check to see what else is on tv that night, this really is circus rubbish to be fair

four world class players with a best of 13 final, a veritable marathon compared to the dross of the ptc's.

I know a few people are upset that their favourite players aren't in it but it's still the most watchable weekend of snooker so far this season.

What's going on here? No pre-match discussions about the epic semi final line-up?

Ding v Judd is a toss of a coin and the other one is Ronnie's to lose.

dings got this, no way trump can stay with him, BUT he will be no match for ron in the final

i do think it speaks volumes about how unimportant this actually is.

I think nobody cares. I'd forgotten it was on, until I came on to twitter.

It'll be more of a frenzy next week for the UK.

and who do you think is going to win?

I think Ding might prevail in this one, 5-3 to me

The Ronnie game, I expect him to overcome Williams by 5-2 or 5-3, but Williams is very dangerous when he´s on fire.. let´s see

@Wild and SnookerFan:

Ding and Trump seem to care ...

It's tough to determine the importance of the Premier League, especially this year.

I would say it's definitely more important than a PTC and a bit less than a standard ranking event. Some people suggested that in the ranking system the price money should replace the points in some way - it's 60.000 pounds for the winner here.

hahaha it doesent come close to the sheffield PTC in prestiege or important lol

As I predicted, 5-3 to Ding, he wins well played from him, a century of a 139 total clearance, and a couple of other nice breaks helped him on his win, including that marvelous break in the last frame

Next up Ronnie vs Williams should be a great game, hope that Ronnie wins it and earns a match with Ding tomorrow

It does actually, PL is on SS and highly recognised.
PTC is completely unknown and unseen by the masses.
People who dont follow snooker dont even know the PTC even exist.
If you have Sky Sports you know about PL snooker.

king.auto, I'm afraid you misunderstood Wild.

not the greatest of starts from both players, Mark should have 2-0 up by now, instead it is 1-1

certainly the match is gonna catch fire as it progresses

A superb break of 109 from O´sullivan... Some of the shots he played towards the end of the frame... that double to the left top pocket, the splitting up of the last red amazing stuff from him indeed

business as usual in the premier league

Final

Ronnie O'Sullivan vs Ding Junhui

yes should be a great final between these two Mark didn´t play that well towards the end, but he had plenty of chances in the early frames, but couln´t make the most of them... the 2nd frame was the most important, if it had been 2 nil to Mark, it could have been a different story, but Ronnie nicked it and that seemed to settle him in the match

Still, Ronnie played well after that, his safety was good enough and didn´t miss much..

I expect a close match tomorrow, provided Ding doens´t collapse against Ronnie, or, even worse, Ronnie doenst play well and loses.

Didn't get the Ronnie/Trump Final I wanted, but still looking forward to witnessing a Ronnie/Ding Final at Potters.

Yes after the second frame I didn't have any doubts that Ronnie would win this match. Not against Williams who's next to Carter Ronnies favourite opponent and not in the Premier League.

Now Ronnie's playing Ding who is the only player in the PL who beat Ronnie without losing to him. O'Sullivan can complete the circle tomorrow - beat Ding, capture his 10. title and announce that this was his last year in the PL.
