Zhou Yuelong has £80 000 odd in career earnings so far at the age of 18? Sheesh, that's going places.

Milosz something, I think. I keep hearing the ES commentators saying his first name, can't remember his last.
Milosz Olborski. He's from Poland and WS notes that basketball is one of his hobbies (what a surprise).

That quarter final line up is depressing, this could be 2006, only Wilson and woolaston trying to hold back the oldies

At least this is better than the boxing dross that was served up last night. Was listening Frampton v Quigg on 5 Live and the commentators sounded bored out of their minds, I could only imagine how bad it was to watch.

I watched it on a free stream and it was as rubbish as it must have sounded on the radio.
Still, I didn't have to pay so I only invested my valuable time in it.

I wouldn't call them "oldies" just yet.

Sky tend to take casual boxing fans for mugs, making out every PPV is the best thing ever, even if it's just a British title level fight or Kelly Brook fighting some guy ranked 278 in the world. People who like boxing casually end up being fooled into watching it, and the hardcore fan relents and buys anyway.
Saying that I did watch last night's fight expecting it to be better than it was. The occasion got to them I think, especially Quigg.

The only time I saw Higgins on this week was when he was playing The Friendly Ghost on Friday night. He looked marmite. Apparently he has been playing better since.

Selby winning a bit more easily this time, 4-1.
It's annoying that I have to watch the livestream today because Eurosport NL is only showing the semis on ES2, which I don't have. Ugh

Martin Gould is flying! He joins World no.1 Mark Selby in the semis!
Edit: Andrew Higginson has just beaten Mark King 4-3.

Trying to decide whether to watch the Snooker final this evening, or whether to put a film on.

Just saw that Selby is 3-0 in front, but Higginson is ready to pull one back (barring snookers).
It seems that Maguire will play at the World Grand Prix, which is very important for him since he is struggling to be back on the top 16 for the Worlds.

Our first finalist is known. Selby puts a stop to the Higginson comeback and wins 4-2.
Think it's Selby's first final since the China Open last year?

Gould also wins 4-2.
So Selby vs Gould then.
Hope giant lumberjack man will ref the final.

I think so, he's been getting to semis and quarters in big comps but then getting stopped by the eventual winner.
I hope Gould can build on his German masters success.

Maybe one player will get 4-0 and I can watch a film anyway.
