2021 World Championships

Gonna be tough to beat a guy who looks like a 7 year old who got his wish granted by Santa to get to the one table set up!!

The Undertaker on the other hand looks like he wants to measure himself up....

Incredible Bingham's loving it, that cheeky little grin to the camera after escaping from his own snooker behind the black was very funny.
Don't think Mark's enjoying it quite as much, that could make the difference in the end.

Has there ever been a former champion win it again after coming through the qualifiers?

-

Yeah, I think this might make the difference as well. Selby sets himself under pressure too much and so far for most of the match he looks like his own shadow.

As for your question:
No.
Griffiths and Murphy were the only two players at all to win the title as a qualifier.

This undertaker?

[The Boss]

Stuart Bingham looks like a wrestler. I expect him to suplex Selby on the match table if they go to a decider

[Cue crafty]

This undertaker?

That's the one Mark. And is that Baulk Hogan?

[fkhan]

Nice to see Ben Williams diplomatically telling Mark Selby to hurry up. Two minutes is ample time to make your mind up on what shot to play. Over three minutes is far too long.

May I know which frame it was? I missed it.

Remind me again... it was The Jester from...??? He certainly ain’t smiling tonight!

[Rocket Man]

Epic tactical session this. Thoroughly enjoying it.

It's now Uncle Fester from Leicester....

[Rocket Man]

And now a re-rack. May be past midnight by the time they finish here.

Thanks Jim. That's as I thought, but wasn't sure if maybe in the long and distant past....

Double rerack!!

[Rocket Man]

Double rerack!!

Hahaha. I'm sure this session is boring a lot of people but I'm loving it. Especially with it being a World's Semi where the stakes are so high. The tension's so palpable atm.

It's pure world's. It's Only this long match format that can deliver such tension and drama! The crowd is really making it special again this time.
