Ladyboy wins. Good quarter final coming up against Robbo, who shouldn't be too worried. Lady Boy's stats ain't scary.

91% for Judd. That's reasonable.

Not sure what, but there is something I don't like about Murphy.

Apart from Ronnie's match, are the punters with 3rd session tickets getting any value?

Oh dear, you know things are going badly for you when Shaun is beating you in the safety stats.
BTW who's commentating on Murphy v Fu on the BBC?

Judd played better than he did against Ford, but Ryan made a lot of ridiculous mistakes, especially in the last two sessions. I don't think that Trump can frighten Robertson, but let's see.

Willie and JP. Vaguely watchable match, WT talks too much and little drama, but job done by Smurph.

Trump might not even reach double figures against Robbo.
Many thought Allen would and he didnt, and I expect the same for Trump.

Could it be the fact that he sometimes looks like a cherub? A cherub with killer pots.

It can be pretty soul destroying seeing your opponent get away with really bad shots 7 or 8 times. I've never seen Fu show the amount of emotion he has shown throughout this match. It's like the 2008 UK Final all over again.
I agree. It can knock your confidence and destroy your game. It has happened numerous times. Had Fu won that frame, who knows what would have happened. Instead, he's finished.

Judd does raise his game against Robbo though.

Trump won't reach double figures, that's how I see it.

I think there's a big difference for Robbo playing Trump or Allen. He more or less owns Allen, ok most of their matches have been close but in the end Neil won the vast majority of their matches. Trump on the other hand has beaten him 3 out of 3 in multiple session matches that will have some sort of affect on him.

Robbo was just as phenomenal in finishing off Robbie Williams and didn't regain that form until the near the end of the second session.
Like you said, let's see.

H2H matter less for Robbo, imo. Mags owned him, and then from January 2009-Jan 2014 didn't beat him once.
Selby had never lost a real match to Robbo after their Masters final, but has lost all their matches since.
Murphy hadn't beaten him from 2010 to the PTC Grands this year (and Neil was ill)

First couple of sessions of Murphy vs Fu were entertaining.
This hasn't been.

Like Skull said earlier, would be funny if Fu did a Murphy and cameback from 12-7 behind

I agree Robbo probably is the best player in the world at blocking out previous matches and h2h records. But as good as he is at that, it won't fly past him. I expect him to miss a few more pressure pots against Trump than against Allen.
