World Championship 2009 - SF discussion!

[lkomarci]

i wouldn't put my money on anyone really. i mean they all made their ways through to the semi-finals. in that stage EVERYTHING is possible. everybody is beatable at every moment, and they're all in a pretty good shape

Should Shaun Murphy win the World Championship this year, he will become apart of a very elite group who have held both the UK and World Champion at the same time. The other players in this elite group are:
- Ronnie O'Sullivan
- Mark Williams
- Stephen Hendry
- John Higgins
- Steve Davis
- John Parrott

Who are the others?

Yeah of course, Neil could definitely win this match, I just make Murphy favourite at the moment.

4-4, look forward to seeing this progress tomorrow.

[Rane]

This could go all the way. When Murphy went 4 - 2 it looked as if he was in control, but Neil got back strong.

the only players to win both World and Uk in the same season are

Steve Davis 1980/1981,1986/1987,1987/1988
Stephen Hendry 1989/1990,1994/1995,1995/1996
John Higgins 1997/1998
Mark Williams 1999/2000,2002/2003
Ronnie O'Sullivan 2007/2008

that is some list of players Shaun Murphy could Emulate this season.

Murphy is gonna take some stopping. I really think he's playing his best ever stuff and its quite frightening how every ball hits smack bang in the middle of the pocket, he looks a million dollars out there, his cue action is just beautiful.

Yes he truly has the best cue action in the game at present IMO! Murphy looked very good when in the balls tonight & looked like early on that he was going to dominate the session.
To Robertson's credit he did very well to come out of that session all square.

Shaun at 2-0 and 4-2 missed a great chance to hold a 6-2 or 7-1 lead but credit to Robertson. Tomorrow will be a great game to witness.

i think 6-2 or 7-1 would have been unjust but 5-3 would have been a defecit Robertson wouldnt argue about.

I thought John Parrott was part of that group in 1991?

[Odrl]

I thought John Parrott was part of that group in 1991?

He won it in the same year not the same season. He won the WC in the 90/91 season, and the UK in 91/92.
