Monday 19th of September - Sunday 25th of September at the Shanghai Grand Stage, ChinaIt's Semi-Finals time, and first up we have World Champion Mark Selby against Stuart Bingham, the former who has been playing really well since his Paul Hunter Classic title in late August.
Next we have local hero Ding Junhui who has rediscovered his good form, against Scotland's Stephen Maguire who has made a 147 in this tournament and badly wants to get inside the Top 16 again.
Who will reach the Final and be one match away from the £85,000 top prize and the Title?

Two quality semi-finals.
Good luck to Bingham and Ding (although wouldn't be too unhappy with a Mags win).

No, of course not. I'll congratulate him as always and move onto the next tournament.

I will join in brotherhood, I assume anyhow, with one Hendry_fan, in cheering on Mags for the trophy!

I don't think I'm going to watch the beginning of Selby vs Bingham. Really need to catch up on some sleep. I'll try not to miss more than the first hour and a half.

Definately not watching the first Semi live.
I'll watch the second, and I'm glad the best match (for me) is the afternoon one.

I'm out this afternoon, so was hoping Ding would be up first.
Still, like both Selby and Bingham. Won't complain.

Unless Maguire wins the tournament, the pattern of a different winner every year will end.
