It's been great being sick this week, been able to stay home and watch these fantastic matches.. Ding really deserved this one - looking forward to some great matches tomorrow

I thought Ding would pot that pink.

Two great semi-finals to look forward to now..

I thought Ding would pot that pink.

Two great semi-finals to look forward to know.

I thought so too!

Great response from Ding after losing the first four frames.

Before their SF clash at the China Open, I said that the winner would probably end up losing this match, and it's proved right. I guess it was a case of peaking too early for Selby, while Ding has looked better with every match.

It should be a really interesting match against Trump now.

[Billy]

Did he say "what a twat" when the camera panned to him after Ding pot the pink?

lol - I'd have to see it again, but if he did, I sincerley hope he was referring to his own last shot that left Ding the pink, as opposed to Ding himself.

This time 48 hours ago Ding looked certain to lose against Bingham, and now he's in the Semi Finals. Amazing how it can turn around.

Yeah.... "sick"

A very interesting line up here. I think Ding has got the mental toughness now. At the UK final last year, he turned the match around when Higgins got up to him, he did the same in the Masters this year and have done it twice now in this tournament. I still have the feeling that the winner will come from the bottom part of the draw.

But I think it will be better for the game if one of the two youngsters wins. as it´s more appealing to the kids with two players in the twenties than two players at the same age as their father. Ding will lift the game even higher in China, and Trump is maybe the man to take over after O´Sullivan as the english hope.

Hopefully the quarter final round's agreggate points will be 10212 If they are I'll win a parris cue. :snooker:

I went with 9350

No chance I took a very calculated guess

Well its difficult to be sure as World snooker and BBC don't have enough frame scores for Ronnies match.......but i reckon it adds up to 8820.....so i'm nearer than you
Anyone predict anything closer ? Hope its announced officially who winner is ....me hopefully

Could have been "What a pot", but that's not nearly as hilarious

[FOXMULDER]

Two veterans on one side of the draw, two young guns on the other. Perfectly poised...

[cazmac1]

can't believe he let him see the red, then gets wrong side of blue??

Selby got what he deserved, he is so arrogant. I couldn’t help looking at Selby and thinking there something not right about this guy, He has big rings around his eyes and don't look good, I don't know maybe it's his life style or something.

[sunspotzsz]

Ding played badly but Selby is just shady! Did not like both of them, but Selby deserves to lose.

Good lineup for the semi though.

[peterpackage]

legendary semi final lineup. Would only have prefered ronnie to win but otherwise going to be amazing and the final is going to be great too

BBC must be happy, best lineups for a long time

[CueAntW147]

Its been a good tournament so far, not as one sided as some in the past and its been wide open as to who the winner could be which is good to see.

Been some great matches, breaks, shots and lots of comebacks etc, nice to see Mark Williams doing well, in his usual casual manner. Highlight for me though has been Judd Trump, i love the way this kid plays the game reminds me of a young Jimmy White, throwing a few flare shots in for good measure.

First time in a long time i've thought the games in good shape with some of the players we have coming through, and many capable of winning things.

Anyway this has turned into a mini review now we're at the semi final stage not sure its even the right thread....lol , but would be interested to know what everyone else thinks about the tournament so far ?
