Selby looks settled already, Ding doesn't but it's only very first frame of course.

Ding should look fresher than Selby. He had an early night, Ding didn't.

When was the last time we had a world final that was this evenly matched? Doherty v Williams in '03 if you ask me

Ding played four best of 19s, Selby didn't. Don't think tiredness will come into it.

True, but Ding had to qualify and Selby didn't.

Selby probably relishing to play against the guy who has the hopes and expectations of millions on his shoulders.

A bit of advice Mr Virgo,make sure your mic,s bl**dy turned off+don,t buckin swear!.
One thing that surprised me is that the commentators have ordinary mics that they need to lift to their mouths every time. It looked quite amateurish - I had expected stationary mics.

Williams was the clear favourite in that match against Doherty.
Maybe Hendry v Ebdon in 2002?

Robbo v Dott wasn't clear cut

Robbo was head and shoulders above Dott. Let's not pretend otherwise.

The proof's in the pudding. Give Selby a half chance in a tournament, let his confidence grow, and he'll start playing better and better. Have to respect that.
