3-1. Mags needs the next two if he's have a chance. Or at least to make the final score a bit more respectable.

Yeah me too, thought it would be 2 all or even 3-1 to Mags the way he started.
Unless he starts well again after MSI, Ronnie will run away with it now.

Ronnie starting dominating this match after winning that second frame. Of course there's still a lot of work to do but I'm very confident Ronnie will progress into the final.

Skullman Fun Fact: The most one sided Masters semi finals occured in 2000, with the winning semi finalists conceding a total of two frames (Kendo 6-0 Lee, Stevens 6-2 Parrott)
Possibility of being matched here.

That pink from Mags in frame 2, snookering himself on all the reds is the turning point really and since then Mags looks very frustrated.
I would have taken 2 all at the MSI, but 3-1 to Ronnie is even better.

Think Mags will win at least 1 more frame though.
I expect a 6-3 score to Ronnie.

If Mags doesn't comeback and win, I'll take 6-2 for predicts purposes.

Deep down Ronnie knows he owns Maguire in the big matches. Stephen is playing a very similar game, only more volatile. Ronnie knows whatever Stephen can throw at him, he can better it.

Showing post-match from afternoon's match. Murphy seems to think his time as a major winner is gone.

Unless he flukes a match ball black like that China 2012 quarter-final
He needs to get to five frame to fluke match ball.

Ronnie's started at 18 though, Murphy's 31 and nearer to the end of his career than the start.

Kirk Stevens v Jimmy White 1984 semi.

But not punished. Even Mags can't buck this up, surely?
