Every time Selby won his semi 17-15, he's won the final.



Every man Kyren Wilson has lost to in quarters has won the title :D :D :D

Hopefully Selby breaks Steve Davis' record margin of victory in the final. (Unless Hawkins performs a miracle).


Yes, for Ding to win he needed to keep that lead at the end of the first session. As soon as Selby got back level I felt Ding wasn't going to win.

The phrase "shame there has to be a winner" was invented for tommorow's final.


It's like Hillary v Trump all over again.

No, it was invented for Trump vs O`Sullivan matches.

Harsh mate Robbo was awful v Gould most of the match and won the title.

Yes, especially his safety play was very good. Put Selby under a lot of pressure and made him play a lot of difficult safety shots.

Very much so. All that support and backing from the crowd + BBC and he acts like that when he loses.

I can't imagine any other player in the draw acting that poorly to Selby after losing. Ding has gone down in my estimation.
