Saturday 20th of April~Monday 6th of May at The Crucible Theatre, Sheffield

Sessions

Sunday 5th of May 2pm and 7pm

Monday 6th of May 2.30pm and 7pm


The Final and it's David and Goliath. Barry Hawkins playing in only his 2nd ranking final and by a long way his biggest; and Ronnie O'Sullivan playing in his 36th ranking final and his 5th world final.

Ronnie O'Sullivan leads the Head to Head 4-1 but they have been very close matches. Every meeting has been in ranking tournaments.

In Majors (World, UK and Masters). They have never met until today.

Hope so. It'll be the battle of the talented cockerel and the hard working nice guy, and it would be nice for the nice guy to win for once.

It's not like Ronnie didn't have to work hard to get where he is today. Talent only buys you nothing, just look at Cope or Stevens for example.

I know but talented cockerel who worked hard for ages when he young v hardworking nice guy doesn't have the same ring. Plus ROS is definitely the talented one out of the two.

I don't care what happens here, it will most likely be a rubbish final, it will be more than likely a heavy defeat for Barry.

But I love Barry, he is one of my favourite players, just to see him take part in a World Championship final, will be something to look forward to for me.

Good luck Barry, enjoy it lad.

Even more so than Johnson in 86 I'd expect.


Funny, I was just thinking about Joe Johnson. I never gave him a prayer against Davis, but he played amazingly over two days.

Sadly, I can't see Hawkins pulling off a similar shock. He will do well to break into double figures. I predict an 18-9 scoreline.

Unfortunately I have seen very little of his match against Ding. Was it Ding that blew that match or was Barry just too good?


That a serious question, Barry was of course just too good.

Barry stayed cool, calm and collected, and played like a boss.

Because his name is Barry Hawkins, and he is the man :bowdown:

Barry pinched a few frames and Dings head dropped, as usual.

That is utter tosh. Hawkins is nowhere near Carter's level.
