Your response is the one I expected and my counter is already prepared. With such a philosophy, unless your superiority is absolute, you will lose more matches. As such, overall you will probably score less centuries.

I slightly favour Selby in that regard.
You reckon Selby wants it more? Is it based on him not having yet won the Worlds?

Yes.
And also because he hasn't won a title yet this season despite his 3 finals.

It's no secret that I'm no Selby fan but hats off to the man for getting this far, considering how patchy his form has been it's been an impressive performance, I like how his break-building is coming back in, makes him a lot easier to watch.
I still favour Robertson purely because he's been tested a bit more, but then again we haven't seen what Selby has in the tank so who knows!

Well reasoned. Both are very hungry though and I've been more impressed with Robertson's top form in this event.
I'm REALLY excited about this match!

Neil's dad is in apparently. Wonder if he's as much of a good luck charm as his mum is?

Poor safety by Mark but let off from Robbo.

Agreed. And I think it could be an easier match for Selby than most people predict.

Robertson made a big mistake to let him in, and he's not going to get away with those at this stage. He will pull it together though,.

Selby's safety been uncharacteristically slack so far.
