Anything people would like to add?
I started watching at 3-2 and it was a fascinating match from that point on. Ronnie knocked in 2 centuries to comeback from 2-4 to lead 5-4. There were mistakes but also some great shots. Williams pushed the boat out at the end and it cost him dearly. Overall great drama and the match of the tournament so far.

Well, actually, until the fifth or six frame or so it was more like worst match of the tournament so far. Many misses, Ronnies highest break was 47 I think at that stage while Williams had a 64 if I remember correctly. It definitely wasn't a good match quality-wise. Neither in safety nor in breakbuilding
But after that things really changed. Ronnie started to make the big breaks including two centuries and a 60 to go 5:4 ahead. And we really had a fascinating 10th and 11th frame.

Alright thanks
Doesn't really have any impact on potential ROS v Selby tbh because they usually play differently against each other.

I just watched the last frame again. Still can't believe MJW went for that crazy plant... He must be kicking himself.

I know right? From that angle - it was always going to throw them off course....
