Welcome to the 'semi final' thread of the All-Star World Championship.
Simply nominate up to three semi-final matches that you feel should be included in next week's poll stage (Phase Two). Do not nominate a match that has already been nominated.

2004 and 2007 logged, the other one isn't logged. It was already nominated. So if you want to pick one more nomination, go nuts.

Would you like this to replace one of your three original picks? If so, which one?

Surprised to see Hendry v O'Sullivan in 1999 hasn't yet been nominated. Eight Centuries across the entire match including five in the third session (of which there were four in consecutive frames)
For my second one I will go with Ding Junhui v Alan McManus in 2016. It might not have been the closest contest at 17-11 but was high quality from both throughout the contest. Especially once McManus got going after losing the opening five frames.

Just noticed. I didn't see it on PB's list originally.
I'll get thinking on the others. - In a lot of cases you find that people will nominate them already
