Betway United Kingdom Championship Quarter Finals !!!!

146 alert!


Make that 145!

Selby's 7th ton of the tournament, 1 ahead of Ronnie who has 6 so far.

Selby scoring like he was in that 2008/2010 period.

Would be interesting to see what would happen if Higgins lost. All it took was one defeat by Bingham at the Masters last year (EDIT: meant earlier this year), and it destroyed his form and momentum that he'd built up earlier in the season.

i'll say more: Higgins last year came here full of confidence having won the IC, but Robbo beat in the Quarters 6-5 when Higgins played one of his worst decider ever!

Here he also comes full of confidence, and again reaches the Quarters...

I actually want selby to win for once, more probably to do with how much I despise Higgins!

Hello everyone.

Perfect start from Jester.

The long game of higgins is really not good. And that's right from the start of the tournament.

Not very good sign.

I do not see how he can cope today.

It looks like 2-0.

John wake up !!!

This is the Selby that won the Masters in 2010... heavy scorer, making the most of his chances.

Him and Ronnie have played the best by far of this tournament. Could meet again in the Final, and then they would have contested all 3 Triple Crown Finals, something even Higgins hasn't done against ROS.

He is undoubtedly the best of his generation, and I consider him a 'great' of this era, but I wouldn't say 'all-time great' just yet.

He needs a fair few more ranking titles to get there. If you wanted to be critical, you could say that only 9 is a poor conversion rate for someone of his talent.

Has this ever happened. Two players contesting all 3 Triple Crown finals???

Not sure. I'll have to find out, but by my reckoning it would be the first time.

Higgins caught in the throat , Selby playing perfectly for the moment

Luca not at the races. Silly mistakes.

Higgins not potted a ball yet lol

Disappointing from Luca so far

Just seen that it would indeed be the first time ever 2 players contested all 3 TC Finals.

A bit of important history could be made then this week, but first Ronnie and Selby have to reach Sunday's Final.

EDIT: Didnt fnd that one TR, good call.

Griffiths getting destroyed lol

'You know what happens when Shaun Murphy gets a few frames in front'

Yeah, his long game dies and he becomes a bang average player. That World final against Bingham, and the Grand Prix final.

Selby outplaying Higgins, John potted 2 balls so far...

3-0 then. Next frame key, otherwise Higgins might get destroyed today.
