Could go on to win the tournament from now on. I would expect that.

[Ronnie's tip]

Brilliant clearence by Maguire

Probably a case of Trump being too attacking there.

O'Sullivan vs Lee
Maguire vs Murphy

Should be interesting.

Daffi do you amend all players surnames its not like mcguire has less letters its MAGUIRE sorry its just starting to annoy me

Oh wow, I hadn't even noticed. Was so engrossed in the match I guess. Strange though, as I very well am aware it's Maguire. Thanks for pointing that out.

[Ronnie's tip]

Not even a "well played" from Trump.

sorry, as much as dislike trump, especially for not tapping the table etc.....but i saw him do it quite a bit tonight, more in the first half of the match though with his cue.

That's certainly good to know...I must have missed it. Glad Judd *is* doing that.

Predicted high break is just for tie-break purpose.
If your player makes the highest break, regardless of the break, you get extra points. So, in this case, an Ali Carter owner would get those.

Maguire was on fire!

Actually might be closer his fourth didnt play in the wildcard round so that cancels out the williams whitewash

Thank you Montoya

O´Sullivan vs. Lee
Maguire vs. Murphy

It´s a quite interesting lineup, as it´s players we havent seen in the final stages of the big tournaments lately (except Murphy), and it seems like all four are in great form. I would expect O´Sullivan to beat Lee, but once and a while Lee plays very well and then he´s dangerous to everyone.

Maguire vs. Murphy is tricky as well, as it seems like Maguire has held his temperament together very well so far, and then he can beat anyone, Murphy on the other hand has played some very fine snooker in the last two or three months without getting any titles out of it, so maybe it´s his turn this time. Still I expect an O´Sullivan - Murphy final with form on the day deciding who wins the title in the end.

Maguire and Murp

Tie breaking

What happens if the players on a tie have chosen the same break

[Odrl]

Great match tonight, probably one of the best best-of-9 matches of the season so far.

Every time Trump has been in this kind of position recently, defending a lead against players coming back at him, he eventually took one of his chances, until today. Great fightback from Maguire, in exactly the kind of scenario that usually sees him lose his patience. He had to rely on a couple of misses from Trump, but he still made a couple of very good breaks at crucial times.

So, it's Murphy against Maguire now... Nothing special in 2008 or so, but not a particularly common pairing recently. Should be a great one.

What happens if the players on a tie have chosen the same break

Never happened to date, as far as I know. So, I don't know. We'll see. I'll look at the overall result and who has included the trophy winner in his team. If that doesn't work, we'll continue with runner-up and then, semi-finalists.
If two teams are exact copies of each other, I think I will declare them co-winners.
