Why only 8 frames in opening session? Should have been 9 frames.
I guess BBC didnt want to risk a runaway final and have very few frames in the evening.

The BBC are going to be well annoying tomorrow. The only time they'll get off Ronnie's cockerel, is when they are congratulating themselves for saying Trump is naughty.

Pretty sure it's 9,10 for Best of 19s and 8,9 for Best of 17s normally.

lol yeah, in China tournaments it's usually 9 though and I think that makes more sense as someone would inevitably have to take a lead, but anyway...

I think he has a crush on Judd though so he'll support him a tad more than Ronnie

I dont think it will make any difference will it ?
As long as it is a good match then that is more important for me as a fan , Incidentally not a pin head as some very offensive moderator has implied that that is what fans of Ronnie O' Sullivan are .

By reaching the Final, Judd climbs 4 places from 11th to 7th.
If he wins it, he'll be 6th in provisional rankings ahead of the Masters, if Ronnie wins however he'll climb one place from 4th to 3rd replacing Selby.
Also to note that Ronnie doesnt have one single point (money) coming off until the Worlds, so for him it's all gaining and gaining given he didnt play that 2012/2013 season until the Worlds.
A very good chance to be WN1 again, but hopefully he wins this title first, that's the most important thing right now.

You know what guys, Trump will be seeded 6th or 7th for the Masters depending on tomorrow's result. Both ways he will be seeded in the opposite of Ronnie's half. Another final coming up???

If Ronnie wins tommorow there will be a 21 year gap between his first and fifth title. Remarkable longevity.

Well that would be amazing really.
As Ronnie will be seeded 1st and Milkins 16th, arent they supposed to meet there next year first round?
EDIT: Forget that, just had a look at previous Masters draws and it doesnt work that way.

Yeah but let's not get ahead of ourselves. It's a 50-50 match tomorrow.

No only the top 8 are seeded, the other players are drawn randomly.
Bingham will be seeded for a potential quarter final against Ronnie.

Not 50/50 for me, Trump still has a slight advantage, I'd say 55 Trump and 45% Ronnie.
I know Ronnie will most likely raise his game for the Final (he has to anyway) but still given both players performances at this tournament Judd is the favourite.

It should be a fantastic final.
Both players have been playing some fantastic stuff.
I'm glad it's Trump rather than Maguire in the final because I think it will be more attacking.
Hard to predict a winner but I'm going for 10-8 to O'Sullivan.

No strict seeding for the Masters, simply top 8 seed v 9-16 with top 4 in separate quarters, Selby and ROS in separate halves etc.

Ronnie definately won't get away with some basic errors against Trump like he has done against previous opponents.
Plus Ronnie's long potting will have to be 50% or above me thinks, lower than that and he might have some serious problems.
As for safety, of course he needs to play good safety and prevent Trump to get his hand on the table for the long pots he so loves.

Trump is one of the few players who can beat Ronnie in an open attacking match. But Ronnie knows exactly how to play in these type of matches, he has vast experience from playing peak Hendry and Williams back in the days.

Maguire can be very attacking, but it's less likely it'll come off for him like it does with Judd.
Anyway, regarding the final, I'd prefer Judd to win just so that Selby isn't the only player who can stop ROS, although I'll take a good final, with seventeen frames at least.

Not quite, it's always
1-8
5-4
3-6
7-2

Judd and Ronnie meet again. Fast, attacking snooker is the way forward! Should be a great final.
