In recent years yes but there wouldn't be much to choose if you considered their all time Crucible record.

Yes. I should have stated in recent years.

But you are right. McManus has had plenty of experience and is a great match player. He's certainly giving Selby a hard time.

Selby better beat McManus. That means that one of my favourites are guaranteed to be in the final and I'll actually have someone to properly root for unlike last year.

Lucky you, I have no one left in the other half of the draw to cheer for ^^
Based on form, I'd say Robertson would be the favourite to win it all as of now, but again, Ding came in with the best of the records and quit in first round.

There's a bit of needle between Ronnie and Murphy from a while back isn't there? That's an interesting match. Murphy should give Ronnie a good game.

I think you are right. Selby has a lot more experience at this end of the tournament.

murphy going to be the last obstacle for ROS I feel, as once ROS gets to final, he usually wins.
i feel murphy will go all out attack (as perry did), its his only hope and absolutely can beat ROS

[Rocket147]

I'd love to see a Ronnie-Robertson final. Would be a classic.

Trump-Robertson is going to be great.

the best scenario for ROS fans is for a selby/robertson SF, this will be an all out war, and likely leave ROS to pick up the pieces in the final

It's looking quite likely.

I think you are right. Selby has a lot more experience at this end of the tournament. There is no doubt McManus can play but he needs to start cutting down his errors and score more heavily if he's going to win this match.

i think selby will win.. eventually, but mcmanus would have done his job to hold him out there for as long as possible.

Well done Eurosport. You've excelled yourself. You said that coverage will continue on Eurosport 2. Turns over. Nope. It's tennis.

EDIT. And it actually is the snooker although the listing on the official website said it was tennis.

I thought it was excellent as well! Very happy indeed. Good match to watch this one.

[ywfan]

selby blasted that black, pure anger and frustration right there.
how dare mcmanus make me work this hard..

[HIPPY147]

Think Judd is a good chance with Neil

then it will be an absolute blood bath with robertson, who should get past trump.
