Happy world snooker championship day everyone, enjoy.

My semifinal picks:

Mark Williams beats Judd Trump
Mark Selby beats Neil Robertson

Final
Mark Selby beats Mark Williams

If anybody wants it I might find some time to write some sort of preview since Odrl seems not have done one this year, even though the matches have started already. I hadn't much time myself as well.

That's the worst possible start for Pang Junxu. He makes a 50, but can't close the frame and loses it.

Surprised Pang tried to pot the blue there, no need when safety is his forte.

[JimMalone]

Bad miss by Pang. He seems nervous, which is understandable.

On the other table Gilbert wins a long battle for the last red and equalizes at 1:1.

On a, side note, I don't like that carpet, it doesn't provide much contrast to the players as they wear black. They blend into it when walking around the table.

I think Wu Yize's a better potter than Pang

Wish Hendry would stop pandering to the casual viewer, ' Pang looks in awe of O Sullivan '.
Leave that to the cheapskates on Eurosport please

Feels like Pang needs this next frame or it could turn nasty, tournament has just started and we are already at the important frame stage

[Cue crafty]

Just love the way the Crucible/WC turns the screw on players with every little mistake they make, the pressure builds! Ronnie just doing enough in each frame so far, and Pang just struggling under the pressure in each chance he gets
