Haha many said the same about Kurt and he only narrowly lost 10-9.
Kurt still lost though, didn't he?
Maflin choked when he got to 9 and couldn't finish off the match. That's always been the main problem of the Underdogs. McGill at least doesn't seem to have that kind of problem.
However. Selby obviously is still the favourite.

Yes I want to believe in that as well.
He can't afford to make some of the mistakes he made against Mags when he faces Selby, but yeah he has every chance.

Skullman Fun Fact: Only two other players have made a century in a Crucible decider.
Griffiths v Higgins 1979 QF. Went on to win tournament.
Ebdon v White 1996 L16. Made it to the final.

McGill has another advantage against Selby: all the pressure is on Mark. Anthony already reached his goal by winning a match at the Crucible now he can relax and see what happens.

So according to patterns does this mean Ants will reach the Final?

It shows how special that clearance was! That was a sign of pure greatness from McGill.

The Pressure will be on McGill to re produce that.
Remember Wasley last year beating Ding 10-9 then he couldn't live up to that against Dominic Dale losing 13-4

I disagree. 2 major differences:
- Wasley played with Dale an outsider just like himself and he really must have fancied his chances. The situation would be comparable if McGill would now play Maflin.
- McGill has more experience and is more mature than Wasley. I think it was Wasley's first good run while McGill already reached a quarter final at the UK beating Higgins and nearly beating Ronnie.
