there's no match for the third place.

Thats why I said final

5-2 at worst here

3-1

experience showed in the end

Ursenbachers breakbuilding is impressing. not many player at that age I've seen scoring that good. While everybody talked about the two big chinese talents there's suddenly a swiss guy appearing from nowhere.

Good to see Ursenbacher doing well. Bodes well for the sport in general.

Jack has done well to get this far, but he needs to have a more complete game to stand a chance here.

Hope Ronnie doesn't bottle it like he's been prone to doing recently. He won't get a better chance than this to add to his tally of ranking titles.

What is tomorrow afternoon's game?

I honestly don't think that Ronnie can lose this.

This is an even better chance than the China Champs or the German Masters.

If he bottles it then I have no belief he can win another ranker.

It would require a calamitous collapse

Lisowski is never ever going to win this match

Oh Jack

Definitely beyond him at the moment, but fair play to him for his progress in this tournament

Still hope it goes close but highly unlikely

Trump would have played out of his skin tonight and probably beat Ronnie but we can never know...

Luca was 4-2 down and won it in China.

Ronnie has been prone to bottle big leads recently.

Plus Mark King was 4-1 down, that was the worst, not to mention Mavis being 3-0 down.

Come on Ronnie

it was worse. He was 4-1 up.

He has improved somewhat. But he is prone to maintain leads and when coming back from big deficits he cant finish the job in the decider though he ha all the momentum. Plus the others play out of their skin.

And as the balls are positioned Jack is big favourite and should win the frame.

Higgins winning his 29th ranker and Ronnie now being motivated is no coincidence...

careless pos shot

Ronnie's matchplay skills are being evident here.

lets be honest. Lisowski is just the poor mans Trump.

He's trying to copy his friend and playing the way Trump does and sure, its good to watch him play but he always messes up at some stage. Missing a sitter, poor positional play, wrong shot selection, bad safety. Something goes always wrong.

Compared to that match against Luca he looks so much sharper in that department.

He's now 26, he's had more than enough time to mature and challenge the big names like Luca is doing.

He's just a waste of a talent I'm afraid.
