I went with:
Selby 10-9 Sullivan (2010 Masters Final)
Higgins 10-9 Williams (2010 UK Final)
Selby 17-15 Ding (2017 World Semi-final)
Williams 18-16 Higgins (2018 World Final)
O'Sullivan 10-9 Trump (Tour Championship Semi-final)

For me, the 2017 world semi-final between Selby and Ding was the greatest match of the decade.

The Selby Ding match at the WC 2017 semifinal was of an insane quality.

Couldn't agree more. That match was as close to divine as sport can get. And I say that as someone who was bucking gutted after it.

Yeah - I've just stuck it on youtube as I have a spare 1/2 hour.

If you scripted that third session, Saviour would’ve said ‘snake hiss off, you daft pin end’

This is probably sacrilege but Trump-O'Sullivan in the Antwerp Open final in 2011 would be in my top 10 or so matches. It's the gold standard of best of sevens.

I only included multiple-session matches. That's the real stuff, in my opinion.

Although Sullivan had a belter of a 6-5 win over Sunny Akani in the UK Championship a few years back.

Bond beating Hawkins 6-5 from 0-5 was special too

Shanghai Masters 2011 Final is here but not 2012? How on earth could that be?

The 2012 Final had everything. Trump was 5 nil up, then Higgins makes a 147 but trails 7-2 overnight. He somehow recovers and wins it in a thrilling final frame decider.

You definately need to add this Final mate.

I agree, but that's the last re-set I'll be doing.

Can everyone who previously voted do it once more?

The 2012 Shanghai Masters final was over two days?

I still can't believe Judd lost that final from 7-2 up. When Higgins won 6 frames in a row to lead 8-7, I knew it was all over.

Okay. :|

I didn't say there wasn't a reason he didn't include it. I said it was a disgrace. <ok>

It was one of the best single session matches I've seen. Has anyone else ever made four centuries in a BO9 and lost?
