Morning and Evening sessions are easy - Carter v O'Sullivan
Afternoon session is more of a hard choice, see what mode I'm in but probably Wilson v Jones,

It's always overall h2h. If you want to see that without CL simply click the link provided and choose to take out CL, like you apparently did.

Hopefully Carter wont be like Hawkins, Bingham and Ding, last 3 players who beat ROS here and had a terrible h2h against him.
My honest feeling is this could be like 2013 until they were 7-7... Carter does well to stay in touch, then Ronnie pulls away.
And I wont see the morning session live
Good luck ROS.

In his first game ROS didn't really show that he's the favourite to win the title. It was just the first round obviously but those first four frames were really snake hiss poor and so was the first session in general. I hope that was just an exception and we'll see a different player tomorrow.
So apart from the win a good performance would be quite helpful.

You choosing to watch that crap over a live session from ROS?
And why not on Sunday when Ronnie isn't on?

Carter is hoping to force O'Sullivan to a third session. It is unrealistic but he can but dream...

Who won those games? Pretty even, I'd imagine.

Good luck ROS.
Same here. The only time that Carter hasn't stuck with O'Sullivan in a match here is the 2008 Final where it looked genuinely that it could be won by the session is to spare until Carter got to 15-7.
I went 13-8 in the predictions but I think it could well be the most one sided best of 25 match between the two.

Ronnie could go missing by not turning up for the match, and Carter would still win.
I mean, for bucks sake. I know you don't want to give it the kiss of death or anything. But let's not act like Ronnie's anything other than a huge favourite against Carter.

Ronnie 1/9
Carter 11/2
Ronnie is - 5.5 frames on the handicap spread at even money which means he would need to win 13-7 at worst to cover that.

I reckon Ronnie is 6-2 ahead after the first session.
He was interviewed a few months ago and spoke about how in 2013 there wasn't a session of any match that he didn't win at least 6-2 and that he felt like he had a four frame head start in every match.
Despite the poor first session vs Maguire, he won the second session 7-2. People can say it's Maguire or whatever but the reality is he puts massive pressure on his opponents. It's really only Higgins, Selby, Trump and maybe Williams at his best that can play their natural game against him.
