Robbo leads 9-7 going into the final session. 6-6 mid session then Robbo hits 3 one visit breaks , 2 centuries. Jack finishes with a century. High quality session and a cracking game bar the first mid session.
Williams 5-3 Higgins , I found it funny early on when Higgins was breaking like Willo has been (if you have been following there has been alot of uproar, roll up behind the pack from the break) i actually think its a good tactic, well if you are playing someone who is a good long potter but not necessarily against Higgins. It actually isn't as negative as people think, firstly it has its pluses that you aren't leaving one on, although a few have by mis-hitting/ pace. Also it keeps the black free which does lead to a quicker frame. It also brings a new dynamic people have to try and find a tactical edge from the back of the pack, so makes for some interesting beginning of frame) for me at least. I dont mind it, even my old mate Ronnie did it a few times earlier so might catch on...
Was always going to be a battle this one but neck and neck, Williams looking the better potter and scorer but Higgins is well in the match, reckon its going at least 23 frames , possible 25 so not the boldest calls but it will be close.
Edit- Added score for Willo v Higgins0 -
O'Sullivan back to 10 all - McGill looking very nervous.0

Hats off to McGill there. Thought he'd blown it but he composed himself and went again. Brilliant clearances in the last two frames under such pressure.1

feel a bit for Gilbert at the moment. should never had said to put the ball back before the white had finished rolling. ended up going in the pocket. Ref didn't hear him but Gilbert in honest and sportsmanship fashion said he did say it. Trump eventually after some poor shots from both won the frame. Nice guys never prosper.
He has now lost another 2 frames. 8 - 4 to Trump.0 - Sponsored links:

I didn’t realise what was going on. He almost certainly would have won from there but he still got that red and was really unlucky to pot the yellow out of a snooker. His head went after that and the match is over now at 11-5.0

Quarters are shaping up very nicely.0

I'll go for Selby, McGill, Trump, Robertson but all of them could go either way.0

Sorry for the delay, but thought i would add class performance from Mcgill. You cant even say Ronnie didn't turn up as he didn;t let him, yes another day ROS might have cleared up in the decider, but lovely clearance under huge pressure. Deserved well played McgillBournemouth Addick said:Hats off to McGill there. Thought he'd blown it but he composed himself and went again.

Murphy looked in good form yesterday - should be a great game against Trump.0

Trump will bash him up, i can only really see Trump losing to either Robbo/Wilson or Selby. would be a bit of a shock for me Murphy winning, although he is capable.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:Murphy looked in good form yesterday - should be a great game against Trump.
Even at this stage its so tough to call a winner, Trump is the man to beat and world number one. Selby playing his best snooker and is going to be tough to beat. Robbo looking decent, Mcgill the Ronnie slayer can he carry on the momentum or will it be hard to lift himself back to the same performance. Wilson is playing well and solid but has Robbo, probably the only reasonable value left tbf, i got at 16/1 pre tourney, he is still 14/1 and will win it one year. Murphy / Bingham/ Willo , all previous winners and playing well. Great to see it so open, although i was a little disappointed the last round was alot of one sided affairs.0 -
Quarter final preview, if people want to look at recommended tips (not mine) also just a good preview.
Highly recommend it, not too long either Snookerbacker

Yeah sorry, my phrase bash him is probably a bit extreme. I do think it would be quite a shock, but he is playing well and Trump hasn't looked as on his A game as some of the others, its not impossible but i just expect Trump to go through the gears each round getting better. I hope not as Robbo or Wilson win me moneyhoof_it_up_to_benty said:

4-4 Trump v Murphy. Very evenly matched and not a great deal of safety play.1
-
Not quite like Selby v Williams, 6-2, i have been watching Judd v Murphy been decent but apparently the other game Selby has been flawless had 99% pot success at 6-1hoof_it_up_to_benty said:4-4 Trump v Murphy. Very evenly matched and not a great deal of safety play.0 -
McGill v Bingham and Robertson v Wilson are both great match ups. Both look like going to the wire.
McGill particularly looks well up for it in the last few frames.1 -
Spooky….

Agreed, Wilson was just too good and felt like Robbo was unsettled. Partly due to Wilsons performance? or as people are raising questions is it the crucible factor? A big shame, although i had both anyway but would love to see Robbo win another.LawrieAbrahams said:

Bit of a shock in the manner of the win from 8-8 not the result as i thought it was going to be tough to call anyone who got into the swing of things , well played Wilson think he could potentially cause a problem for Selby, Trump/ Murphy0
