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.

Hope Robbo takes it. Don't think it'll really affect either's chances at the Crucible no matter who wins.

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.

Will Robbo make a century? Discuss.

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.

Every time Ding beats Robertson in a ranking event he goes on to win the title.

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

Impressed Robbo has got to the final considering he was death warmed up at the start. C'mon Robbo!

Good luck Ding. This is a good chance to equal Hendry's record.

Ding takes the 1st frame in 2 scoring visits with a break of 87, could have been a ton had he managed to double last red to left middle.

Hasn't had decent chance though so we don't know yet how's he playing.

At the moment any slightly sloppy safety is getting punished.

Ding misses and more importantly leaves one on. Let's see what Robbo can do.

Surely, that's especially true in the final.
