Monday 31st of March ~ Sunday 6th of April at the Beijing Students University Stadium, Beijing, China

So the final brings together along with Ronnie O'Sullivan the best players of the season Ding Junhui winner of 4 ranking titles and Neil Robertson winner of 2 ranking titles including the UK Championship.

In their personal head to head its the first time they have contested a best of 19 or more and its 1-1 in their head to head in 2 session matches. Ding Junhui won the first in 2005 and Neil Robertson the second in 2009.

Who will go in to the World Championship which starts in two weeks as the latest champion?

DRAW

Final

Neil Robertson v Ding Junhui Ding Junhui leads 8-7

Surprisngly both finalists come here firstly in Ding's case with only 1 century in the tournament whereas Robbo of course still with no tons but that could all change tomorrow as the top players raise their game when they face each other and when asked to do it on the Big occasion.

In Robbo's case I feel he'll need at least a couple here if he's to reach the Crucible in good shape of achieving that magical 100 number.

Even with the session matches at the Crucible making 8 tons there isn't easy.

Yes both will be in very good shape for the Crucible, and win or lose tomorrow I rate Robbo as 2nd favourite for the World Title.

Yes I think he will, at least 2 I reckon, the occasion and the fact he's playing against Ding will bring the best out of his game.

My guess: if he wins the Final he'll make 3 tons, if he doesn't he'll make 2.

Maybe I'm being a bit generous given he hasn't had any so far, but I just think like I said the occasion will suit his breakbuilding game.

Ding has won the last few but they were best of 9 and best of 7.

So I think it will be a tough one but robbo can do it.

Gj what do you think about the tons? Can Robbo make some in this Final?

I made my guess earlier and that's what I think will happen.

I think he will make 2 or 3 because he has got better as the week has went on :hatoff:
