Good interview from Judd. Speaking very well about how he’s matured and what’s changed since his 2011 run to the final. I like his shirt too, and what he sees in and expects from his game.
Shame about the haircut though. Hope he loses the final.

Did he say anything like he shats in his pants whenever he faces Higgins?
JH got out of jail last night. Should have never been 11-13 down. Judd has to lead 11-6 after the first day at least to have any chance.

He's not the only one who's been complaining about the table tough. Many have. Maybe there is something to these tables. Aren't all tables on the tour suppose to be the same ?!
Meaning same manufacturer, cloth, etc.

Delighted with today's results. We got the most exciting final that was possible from the quarters onward imo.

Judd uses the same chalk as Higgins according to Gwilson so he's a co-conspirator

Despite all the shocks and outcomes this tournament has delivered and the final is the icing on the cake.
Just hope Judd can do it finally.

I think Judd will be under more pressure to perform in the final than Higgins. For Higgins, with the season he had, getting to the final is probably like very relieved already and his tear proved it. I predict Higgins will perform much better than he did in the last 2 years. And this is not even counting the mental edge Higgins has over Trump

Although Judd has a poor record against Higgo, he's a much better all rounder now. And he's no Gilbert to miss easy chances. He'll punish Higgins when he gets the chance.
I'm worried though cause Judd hasn't been at his absolute best this WC. He needs to find the same form he had against ROS at the Masters.
Regarding Higgo, I do feel that losing a 3rd final in a row would be a massive body blow to him. Might even retire, especially if Trump beats him bad.

Higgins has the psychological edge but I wonder if losing 2 finals in a row might help Judd

Many thanks to all for their patience. Here is the latest scoreboard at the conclusion of the Semi-Finals. This table includes six points awarded to entries which predicted Judd Trump to reach the World Championship Final at the start of the contest. These entries will receive a further six points should Trump win the Final.
The maximum possible score for all entries has been calculated based upon what finalists they have left, whether they have a predicted maximum still going (one entry for Higgins) and the number of centuries, and the highest break of the event. (Nobody predicted either Trump or Higgins to make the highest break)
Can those entries with an asterix* next to their name, please PM their predictions for the Final, this ensures that you don't have a situation where the leader can just predict the same score as those nearby to nurse their lead. I appreciate that I am one of those with a mathematical chance of winning so therefore I will PM my prediction to Wildey and Eraserhead immediately to ensure I can't predict knowing what people are going for.

I hoinestly think Judd needs an occasion to play at his best and playing Wilson didn't cut it , though nothing against him...

By the way I think Gilbert and Wilson should be absolutely commended for their wonderful runs in this tourney. They've both been tremendous for the tournament and a credit to themselves. I hope it makes them both stronger and both are tournament winners very soon.
Personally I'm happy that neither reached the final because we would have been robbed of this Higgins Trump prospect and I do think that both Gilbert and Wilson are a notch below the absolute top group of players in terms of high performance level under the greatest pressure. But that takes nothing away from either and the best of luck to them.
