Will be an intriguing match if only to see how each player's nerve holds out. Will be interesting how if Un-Nooh needs yet another decider to get through.

Quite amazing that Un-Nooh has won his quarter-final, last-16, last-32, last-64 and last-128 matches by 6-5!

I think this was the semi-final we all anticipated.

He never won 4 in a row did he? and 5 overall in same tournament.

But he's done it more often than Un-Nooh, who has only proved it in one tournament

I know that, I was just joking with you.
Of course Selby is way more credited when it comes to deciders.
But Un-Nooh's feat here is remarkable nonetheless.

Indeed it's remarkable the way he won all these deciders.
I wasn't completely serious either, especially when I'm using the :no: smiley.

Delighted to see Gilbert reach a semi. Tipped him to reach a final a few years ago so will be pleased to see him win tomorrow.

I expect both players to be very nervous, especially in the 2nd session obviously because they will come near their first chance of a ranking Final.
The best standard of the match might well come in the first session.
And I hope Thep wins, always loved his style of play and in the last few months he has played very well.

Don't really have a favourite for this match as I like both of these players. Hopefully, whoever wins this match will go on and take the title.

Even they don't, my only hope is they don't get thrashed like Woolaston was against Higgins and Wilson against Selby. Hopefully either of them will put a good fight in the Final.

1-1 so far.
Both players look a little nervous and have made mistakes that gifted the frame to each other.
Disappointed by the fact that there are only a few people in the tribune.
I am expecting a tight semifinal.

Seems to be a lot of ranking events these days, where one semi is two highly ranked players, and the other is two up and coming players.

2-2 on the MSI.
Both players playing an attacking game and this is why we have seen many unforced errors so far. Especially from Thepchaiya, who has been very lucky in three occasions, but took advantage from it only once.

After a massive blobfest on frame 5, Gilbert takes the lead for the first time.
Both players are getting more and more nervous, as it seems.

Can they be described as 'up-and-coming' I wonder? Gilbert is older than Selby, Robertson and Murphy.
And although many will probably assume Un-Nooh is around 20, he's actually 30!

Teppy-Lad looks about 17!! Also I hope there isn't a strong gust of wind in the arena he'll blow over

Gilbert was a little more consistent in the first session than Un-Nooh, so he took the lead (5-3).
The Thai has to be more careful if he wants to have a chance for the victory. I like his attacking approach of the game, but sometimes he selects odd shots and he also misses some easy ones.

I think the expression 'a smattering of applause' was invented for the Chinese snooker crowds.
Right Teppy-Lad time to focus! I've got a hundred baht on you. (Which is £1.832. Hey - I'm a high-roller)
