Seems I put the mockers on Day, damn... show me the money Dingo you beauty
Day probably deserved to win, but two crucial frames where he lost the safety battles cost him and Ding for the most part was below par but showed some class. Hope Day becomes a fixture at the top of the game.

I hope Trump beats Ding. (Assuming he reaches the final.)

For two players I dislike watching I really enjoyed that game. Glad ding won though - rules out the possibility of the worse final ever.
Just hope judd wins now (cant believe Im saying that) Would be a great final though, and for a tournament full of shocks it would be good to see two top players contest a big final for the german crowd.

But I can't deny it would be a great final between Trump and Ding.
Their Worlds semi was a classic, and I expect nothing less if they indeed meet in the Final.
This tournament has had some good Finals, especially the first 2, so definately deserves another one.

Lord Trump of Trumpton was arguing late into the night with people on twitter who called him arrogant... he replied by posting a pic of his ferrari
Anyway I want him to win. For the sake of my wallet lol.

He posted a pic of his Ferrari because he knows that's true and the only answer he could come up with it's his love for fast cars
Wouldn't it be something though if Lawler reached the Final... would certainly be one of the biggest shocks ever in Snooker.

I was going to say, how does having a ferrari prove or disprove his arrogance?
The most arrogant part is he thinks people care what car he has.

I ain't fussed by this match somehow. I don't care who wins, and I want whoever wins to lose to Ding.

Your opinion is so important to me.
I hope Trump thrashes Lawler and then goes on to humiliate the little Chinaman in the final.

This is the first time I've watched Rod in years. Did he dig Frank Callan up and make him coach him Mountjoy style?

The way Rod plays reminds me of a magician's knive throwing act. There's a long pause of suspense before every throw or shot and then the crowd breaks in to spontaneous applause when they make it. Rinse and repeat. Quite mesmerizing to witness, I'm surprised Judd didn't nod off.

Why you have to be so offensive to every player you don't like?
Trump may win this match yes, but Ding will beat him, at least I hope he does.

Brilliant century break from Trump to go ahead. The final looks like it's going to be mouth watering.

Judd wasn't surprised by that start from Rod the Plod and responded in fashion with 2 classy tons to lead 3-1.
Rod will do well to win another frame.

And the tourney deserves another cracking Final, it has been the norm especially in it's first 2 years.

That second century looked pretty quick. He seemed to speed up as he got past the 50 mark.
Yes, I can see Rod losing 6-1 or 6-2.
