Definately, Trump is playing well again so whoever comes through that will be the favourite against Selby (errmm McManus
).
But being favourite as we know sometimes means nothing, you've got to show it out there on the table.
Trump or Robbo against Selby I would call evens. There's nothing in it this Worlds year. Players are so close in standard, except Ronnie who is either rubbish or brilliant.

That's because unlike the Crucible, the forum is frequented by clowns.

He's got that look in his eyes. Very solid. Repeat final anyone?

Yeah but if he loses to Ronnie, even at 90%+, he will just be a bunny and too easy. Weak draw. I like Barry a lot. Wouln't mind seeing him win the title, but I am a Ronnie fan first so.. hoping Dale goes through. That's a weak semi final I will actually agree is weak, because it will be. But it won't happen. Ronnie will get a very solid and dangerous Hawkins (assuming he beats Murph).

Sorry mate, my brain has gone in to food coma following a rather successful home-made lasagna and rocket salad. No accident, I wanted some rocket from the greenhouse in my salad. He eats, he sleeps, he lives ROCKET!

Sweet, I've never seen anyone play darts and just have a pint. Not even the county players.

Those two look like the bunnies. C'mon Dom, put up a fight. Has everyone gone off for a pint; doesn't anyone want to watch Selby and Hawkins?

Both Selby and Hawkins can still win their matches with a session to spare if their opponents dont win another frame.
On Hawkins match that is more likely, Selby you just know he doesn't like things that easy

The only match that isn't over is the Trump vs Robertson match, and that could effectively be over by the first interval tomorrow.

I did not expect walkovers. Yeah, the leaders were always favourites, but not a 6 frame gap in Dom's match.

Hawkins won't beat O'Sullivan but at least he will give it his all. Dung Junhui would have probably just capitulated after one session.

Murphy missed a golden opportunity this afternoon.
Ronnie was so far off his best and yet still 6-2 up.
it was laughable how some on here was writing ronnie obituary at 2-0 murphy in a best of 25 lol

He drifted out to 3.1 on Betfair, when he was 2-0 down.

Trump's pre match taunting of Robertson worked wonders for him, I am sure it affected Robertson mentally.

The quarter finals are quite disappointing so far. Both these matches could over before the third session.

Why oh why did Wasley have to beat Ding. It set in motion a horrible chain of events.

Fair play to Trump trying to bring in Premier League style mind games into it but he should realise 95% of the media don't care about snooker... so chances are Robertson won't even read his comments. Even if he does I'm confident he is smart enough to see what he is trying on.
Call it mind games, call it just what Judd thinks under interview. It doesn't matter either way because he's right. And the proof is in the scoreline.

"Foreman of the jury, Have you come to a decision?"
"Yes, your honour. There will be a final session tomorrow between Mr Hawkins and Mr Dale".
