Bloody hell! Now Doherty is out Higgins is going to have to win it just to stop Murphy going to World Number 1.

I can't imagine Higgins going over ROS or even Robertson - and Parrott stopping Murphy is no option I' m afraid

are you sure? Some steel from behind there.
Can anybody update/put up that list as we are progressing please...

[Alex0paul]

Well it looks all but certain that Murphy will be inthe semis. So either Higgins has to get to the semis or Ebdon has to go further to stop him from claiming the numer 1 spot. Ronnie too can stop him if he wins it.

Currentlly Dott is sitting at No 1 with 37775 Points which means the following need to get there to overtake Dott

Murphy - Runner up
Higgins - Semi
Ebdon - Win
Ronnie - Win
Robertson - Win
Hendry - Win

Higgins isn't even going to get that far, Holty will be wiping the floor with him tomorrow

now, doesn't that sound better already? Any of those 5 should be favourites to win it.
and as long as Murphy won't be runner up, Dott is sitting solidly.

and ferret, good luck to Michael!

Sarmu, you again, thanks, as if you were anticipating all our questions

4-4 now

Not so much actually kicking as sloooowly tapping his foot

[Alex0paul]

Just like he did against Drago back in 2003. 4-0 down got back to 4-4 before losing 10-8.

So what happens if Ronnie wins it, Murphy is runner up, and Higgins is a beaten semi finalist?

Impossible

[Wim]

...because Ros vs Higgins only possible in the 1/4

[Sarmu]

Ronnie will be 200 Points ahead Murphy and become world No 1 with Higgins coming 3rd
