This is going to be a humiliation for McManus I feel.

What are you on about...I believe this will be Alan's finest hour!

(Hope is a wonderful thing...)

Missed the first four frames of that semifinal. But seems pretty much like expected. Ding will proove to strong for McManus.
Also despite Selby being not at his best it would surprise me if doesn't beat Fu. Especially in the mental part he should have huge advantages.

Then Ding - Selby should be a great final, at least if Selby ups his game a bit towards his usual level.

Wow, Denis Taylor is really getting on my nerves today.

[Erwan_BZH]

Jeeeez biggest kick ever.......that sound on the contact then cushion?!


PS: yeah, same here Cov86....Dennis should have stayed home. Eurosport all theway...

[daffie]

OK then Alan...well done mate.

Ratings down in the UK, Ratings blowing up in China

why would that happen?
the second time someone has said the near same thing
if no home country player was in the final, I don't see the viewing figures from UK going down, if anything they may go up because both finalist being from elsewhere!
:biggrin:

[daffie]

C'mon Alan keep it up mate. 3-5 would be pretty good going into the 2nd session.

Well...not to be. Very well played Ding.

Top quality from Ding, might have been even better if he hadn't faffed around for snookers and lost his rhythm.

[DeanH]

Maybe this is all part of Alan's plan!
All his previous rounds he has had to come from behind!
