Thanks Ronnie, over 22.5 frames was a safe bet after all!!! I was SERIOUSLY worried there when Higgins was first in!!

[Giggity1984]

higgins vs Williams in the semi's! looking forward to it!

[FOXMULDER]

Easily the most sickening fluke I've ever seen there from Higgins, but he deserved the win on tonight's performance.

[Tufbo]

Curse that fluked red!! Come on Trump!!!

[breakman16]

Great result John, when push came to shove he was faultless, a virtually faultless session tonight from the great man, hope he wins it now!!!

Well played Higgins, I think the better player got through in the end, had some good running but you have to expect that with this game.

Big question is will Ronnie carry on playing? I get the feeling he is falling out of love with the game a bit. Not competing during this season he just seemed a little lacking when the pressure was on, that was the difference really. I think deep down he knows that his game is not good enough to win tournaments now, a bit like Hendry only not quite so bad in the balls.

Cmon Ding!!!

Can't believe some of the balls he's missing though

[Odrl]

A bit of a shame it ended on that note, but that can always happen once a player is one frame from defeat. O'Sullivan will know where he really lost the match. Two times actually, first with those mistakes from 8-5 up, and then with these two nervy misses at the business end.

Higgins will now need to raise his game, because Williams looks very strong.

[breakman16]

Ding's a great player, but often, come crunch time he misses, usually an easyish ball, too often!!

[doorag]

Why didn't Mark just roll that red in? Would have been ahead on points

[lennon11]

just feel ronnie lack of crunch matches this season has caused him to lose a bit of big shot nerve & also though ronnie had a little run of the balls early today,boy did it switch round,not only the fluke but lots & i mean lots of nice flicks.well done john though.just a shame some seem to think its all about the winning & forget its also a spectator sport.

I think the lead he has lost will be hard to comeback from now. Selby will win this comfortably I think. Shame because I get really bored of Selby matches usually, nearly always seem to be scrappy drawn out affairs. I worry for Trump as well having to play him over 3 days and 4 sessions, could really set his game back yet he's been a breath of fresh air for the tournament and the game this last few weeks.

Yes, especially in the late hours of these evening sessions. I think he gets a bit tired and sleepy sometimes.

Ding got gifted that frame can't believe his positioning from blue to pink though lol he looks really edgy
