Not on Eurosport...

Great Black

I'm watching Eurosport. Am I too critical?

Yep, lol.

Williams has raised his game and deserves the win, imho.

[Dark]

That was extremely lucky for Williams.

What a tense frame this was ... again.

Edit: Not since 2011 did we have two semifinals in which every of the four players won at least 13 frames.

Nice change to have some close matches, both games today have felt like finals !

Don't know what's happened to me in my old age, but I honestly can't watch close matches when it involves a player I really want to win.

I have to flick channels for 15 minutes or so, and then check back, as seeing the score updated in such a way is less painful than watching it unfold.

I was like that when young

Kinda like those players on the poker machines who cover the screen up before seeing what card they get like that's in anyway going to influence it.

That's it exactly. I feel like my watching is a bad omen, and that if I don't watch they might just start playing well. Quite ridiculous.

Well it kinda worked with Alex...

I did that with Fruit Machines as a kid

I can understand this. I don't even have an overwhelming favorite in this match (though I have a preference for Williams), but it's such a nailbiter, I hardly can sit still.

Lol I am old and he did win stuff .

You mean Higgins? I sort of guessed that, but I asked because I don't understand what it has to do with me thinking I can influence the outcome of a match by not watching.

Glad it's not just me. As stupid as it sounds I think I'm going to have to record the rest, and then fast forward through to the final few balls (providing they're Mark's).

I did similar way back when...
