Great post ��
Bit harsh on Mark Selby. I suppose he's the Stoke City of snooker in the way that he plays because the frames always seem to go scrappy but he's a really nice fella.
Thankfully Ronnie O'Sullivan has just won to make the final v Selby tomorrow and it should be a good 'un. It's never dull when the Rocket's around.

Ronnie wasn't great in the 2nd session tonight. Fu could have nicked it . Ronnie doesn't like playing Selby but I expect him to win tomorrow.

Arguably the sexiest bloke in sport currently. What's not to like?

Selby-O'Sullivan should be a great final. Contrasts in styles in any sport generally are the most captivating and theirs is very much the Steve Davis-Alex Higgins of the day.
Both players deserve to be contesting the final as they have been the best 2 players all week. It is easy to label Selby as boring because he will resort to his tactical game if he needs to, but that does him an injustice as he has played some very fluent snooker this week. His break-building has been excellent.
He is also a much improved player. He is number 1 in the world at the moment on merit.

What a start for Ronnie. A century break in the first frame. Selby is going to have to slow Ronnie down and frustrate him. I hope he doesn't resort to it but if Selby is to win he'll get the tactical slow frames.
Intriguing final.

Ronnie misses a fairly straightforward red into the middle and The Jester levels it at 2-2.

6-2 to Selby after the first session. Ronnie's late night catching up with him although Selby has played some good quality snooker.
The odds from William Hill at the half way stage are 1/6 Mark Selby and 7/2 Ronnie O'Sullivan.
Still a long way to go (first to ten).......

J'les aurai!
absolutely,wasn't Selby 3-0 up on Higgins and nearly blew it
good odds that for Ronnie
Selby looks like going 7-2 up. The first frame tonight is so important.
I wouldn't be too unhappy if it was over by 9pm so I can watch the other final - I'm a Celebrity, Get me out of here.

Ronnie won 3 in a row before the mid-session interval to make it 7-5, but missed a shocking red by several inches in the first frame of the final session and Selby cleared up with a 137 total clearance to lead 8-5.
The top 8 seeds for The Masters look very tasty indeed:
Ronnie O'Sullivan (defending) v Liang Wenbo
Neil Robertson v Ali Carter
Judd Trump v Marco Fu
John Higgins v Mark Allen
Stuart Bingham v Joe Perry
Ding Junhui v Keiran Wilson
Sean Murphy v Barry Hawkins
Mark Selby v Mark Williams

Ronnie wins the 14th to close to 8-6
And he makes his 100th century in the UK Championships.

What a response from Selby... a great 135 clearance break under huge pressure... 9-7

Amazing safety exchange in the early stages of the 17th frame... eventually Ronnie misses a crazily difficult red into the middle and Selby is in with a chance...
