Depends if Trump ups his game.

Both Judd and Ronnie have been average this week, those last five frames from Ronnie were easily the best either of them has played in this tournament.

Hopefully that's the case.

Nobody has lost a Final in the same tournament to the same player 3 years in a row since White in 92-94 Worlds.

If he had that mindset right from the start he would have been an unbelievable machine and murdered the opposition even more. Imagine a younger ROS in his prime with current mindset but it is what it is.

But he did well since 2011 to win the titles he has and get to this position, winning so many titles he has.

And if he had won more from an earlier age, maybe he would have burned out by now and retired. Who knows. In any event, it's fun to see him win so many matches these days after falling behind.

Also he’d probably be nowhere near as popular.
