Think the Milkins match has helped Ricky here. Thought he'd wobble a lot more, but it looks like an early night.

yes fair point
Plus I think Barry's fresher than the likes of Robbo and Selby because he went on holiday for a week in between China and the Worlds starting.
its all about planning the right schedule
robbo and selby havnt turned in to players who cant deal with pressure overnight
Hope they both sort it for next year

Ricky
I'll admit I never thought I'd see him in the one table set up. Still think Barry will beat him, but I'll be routing for Ricky anyway.

Robbo and Selby may be finished. They are the two most boring players on the circuit and opponents have been able to suss them out hence their string of poor results.

Just thinking, it's been a good run by Hawkins when you think about it. He's beaten Lisowski, Selby and Ding. Tough route.
I'm sure all eyes will be on Ronnie and Judd tomorrow, but I'll be watching Walden and Hawkins with interest too.

The problem with Robbo and Selby is their attritional styles may lead trhem to be being burnt out from the game at a younger age than most, particularly given the amount of events these days. they may need to rethink how they play the game if they are to help themselves. The attritional style works when there are only 8 tournaments a season, but not when there are 28.

Ok fair enough. To be fair I thought Shaun was brilliant this afternoon. Shame one of them had to lose but I'm glad Judd won.

He's a class player with a fantastic cue action. In 2005 he was potting everything he looked at. I'm not going to go on about the cannons/touch shots any more because I've made my point, it was only because no one else seemed to mention it (commentators etc) that I got riled and thought "Are you blind?" but now more people have picked up on it. I look at it like a computer game character, when you choose your character in some games they have different attributes and Shaun would be 100% on many things but his weakness would be touch and other players would have weaknesses that Shaun doesn't. He's like a golfer that is great tee to green but not putting.

I remember you said once Murphy almost has too much confidence and your right because at pressure moments the tough.pots are 10times harder
Although in the decider both played smart at times

It was quite funny how at 11-10 both started blobbing then sorted it out in the remainder. I thought Judd had gone at one point. Also at 8-8 the red Judd slotted down the rail when Shaun had him bang in trouble was one of the best pots I've ever seen in my life.

Didn't catch much of the match, apart from the last frame. But it sounds like a classic. Nice to see Shaun run over and congratulate Judd so enthusiastically. Especially as there had been a bit of needle there.
Sounds like both men were a credit tot the sport today though.
