Well i was terribly wrong in my semi-final prediction,i thought that Allen would end Wilsons great run.


I wrote earlier though that i thought either Higgins or Trump would win this tourney,Higgins is already back in Bonnie,cold and rainy Scotland,but Trump is still soakin up the sun in China and is in the final,i,m gonna stick to my guns and predict that Trump will win this. :-)


Trump will be the Shanghai Masters Champ 2015 and he,ll be the man who ends Wilsons great run.

It will be nice to see Kyren win this tournament. He has knocked out many top 16 players to reach the final and he fully deserves it. But I think that it is not easy against Trump.

Let's see if Trump, as a Sanghai Masters Champions, will be also the bnew World Champion at the end of the season, like Bingham last year.

Good to see Kyren having a really good run. Nice to have new players coming through, but I'll withhold judgement until I see some follow through. Xiao got to the final here tow years ago as well.

As an aside, I might be able to actually watch some of this tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

True, the Bingo semi at the WC was a prime example of that, mostly first 2 sessions, in the 3rd and 4th the damage was already done and Bingo had all the confidemce he needed to really push Judd and win the match.

But Judd knows Kyren very well, they grew up in the Junior and Amateur ranks together and he knows he can be a dangerous opponent.

Judd, easily or not, should win this Final.

It would be a story and a half if Kyren wins 9 matches to win the tournament but this will be his biggest test not the opponent but over 19 frames center stage

Great performance by Kyren this morning keeping Judd in check and go 3-2 up.

Judd has done all the scoring with breaks of 81 in frame 2 and 72 in frame 4 but Kyren always finds away to go a frame in front once again

4-2, with an amazing clearance by Kyren, while Trump started with a chance for a maximum but lost the position on 40-0, and the yellow after potting the sixth red.

Kyren also scored first in the 7th frame, let's see if he can keep it up. Judd can't find his rythm, though.

Trump pulled one back to make it 3-4, but Wilson responded immediately with a great 58 break to regain the two frames advantage.

Kyren shows character in this final and I hope that he will keep it up until the end.

Judd Trump has lost the control of the match and the first session ended with three frames advantage for Kyren Wilson (6-3).

If Judd wants to turn the things around, he has to improve A LOT his game.

P.S. If I have calculated correctly, Kyren Wilson will climb at No 22 of the rankings if he wins today's trophy. Amazing!

A good score for the audience going into the evening session. I'm sure half of them feared a one sided final, with Trump's stylish play dominating a nervous Wilson.
