Then you are deluded, this tournament means nothing for the WC, you even said a few days ago how much of a joke this lottery tournament was.

He contradicts himself every time so...

He's one of those Ronnie fans who is a little like Ronnie - up and down

tournament wins gives confidence. it is a lottery tournament. but ranking event will remain a ranking event.

and winning can become a habit

But he's too inconsistent.

Yes he's right Clara, he won't go out first round, he'll go out second round

look at murphy. won two PTC events and got plenty of confidence from them. went on to win the masters and reach the german masters.

yes, i could be totally wrong. but it remains an option that he could struggle his way through to the semi finals like he did in 2011 and play his best from there on

Look at who he has beaten if he wins this, then explain to me how that run of matches contributes to ones chances in the WC.

Well with Higgins, it'll be more about knowing he can still play well than who he beats. He knows that when he plays well he can beat anyone. And has done so.

That said, I doubt winning here tomorrow will really change his chances at the WC, except for changing which opponents he seeded to face.

Which of the Last 16 and Quarter Final matches were best? I'm thinking of watching a few after Williams and Woollaston have finished toughing it out.

There isn't that much choice, since not all of it was televised. I think the most interesting last16 matches were Selby-Brecel and Robertson-Wilson, and for the quarter-finals Williams' performance against Fu is certainly worth seeing.

Ben wins the first frame with an 82 break.

I think this match will be a lot tougher for MJW than some people might think.

Reckon this match will use all 11 frames.

all running in higgins favour to win the tournament

Maybe it's destined as you said earlier.

But there's still a long way to go in this match.

I'll get worried if MJW were to find himself 4-0 down.

ben starting to miss

MJW still struggling. forgot to wear the scoring from yesterday

Higgins will eat these two for breakfeast if they play like this against him.

atm higgins would eat only MJW. ben is scoring really well when amongst them

at end it is about the frames which u shouldnt win/lose

the 2nd frame was one of it. MJW should have won it but ben stole it.

I think MJW will come back after MSI stronger and more focused.

Well he has to, Ben I think will take his chances to win the match if MJW isn't on his game.

In a way it's nice MJW has been tested, this may improve his game and hopefully by being tested here he'll be more prepared for the ultimate test in the Final.

willo back to his best

thats more like it

this break had class written all over it

If Williams clears up in this frame, I'd fancy him winning the match.

what an important frame. showing excellent resilience

if MJW fights like this tomorrow i fancy him

higgins would eat ben for breakfast, lunch and dinner

missing everything, when ben is mentally gone he really struggles

class response from ben. unlucky MJW

bit like paul hunter over him

looks like 5-3
