I'm on the M25. Unlikely to make the start.
Or the end with this traffic.

Not even Ronnie's greatest rivals, Hendry and Higgins, have played him in all TC Final events... this just goes to show how many important meetings these 2 today have had, and this one might not be the last time we see them together in the Final of a TC event...

Both players scoring the best out of anyone in the tournament, 7 centuries each.

I didn't take Ronnie's recent defeats in finals too hard. A defeat here however would be quite unpleasant, as it is a triple crown event and it's against Selby.

But if Ronnie wins, he would reinstate himself as the best player in the world while leveling the amazing UK wins record of Steve Davis at 6 titles.

For once, I'm grateful.
Pulling off the M25....

Ronnie will have played Robbo, Trump, Higgins and Selby in his last 4 Finals, doesnt get any tougher than those. He only won against Robbo, but hopefully today he can put things right. If he plays rubbish like he did in his last 2, Selby is the winner.

But, what about the BBC's excellent features?

It would also mean that he'd move ahead of Steve Davis in the all-time ranking wins list. And obviously will always stay there, with Davis retired.
He'd also move ahead of Higgins again - although that 'battle' could go on for a while yet!

This is probably the first time i've considered Ronnie to genuinely be the underdog against Selby. As a neutral, at least. Their respective fans may think otherwise.
Selby just carries that 'man to beat' aura right now for me.

I was not at home last night so I did not see fu-ronnie apart from the first 3 frames.
I just saw the end of this game on youtube and I wonder how ronnie won. That green that does not fit.
And after which break under pressure of ronnie in the decider.

Hendry so right about stopping Mark playing for snookers when he can.

Indeed. Hendry knows what he's talking about.
