Robbie Williams will hope not to do Somethin' Stupid tomorrow. He has waited an Eternity to get here since turning pro this Millennium. He needs to stay Strong and have No Regrets because a win over Selby would be one to tell the Kids. It would be a real Shame if he were to Come Undone.

I'd like to see Bingtao go on and win it but would be incredibly difficult.
Higgins will prove a much greater test than Ronnie. Bingtao will have to score like he did against him and hope Higgins is off his game somewhat.
Trump v Allen should be a great spectacle, always great entertaining matches these two provide.

From what I've seen is that Trump has played the best Snooker so far but we all know he's not the most consistent player.
But as I said in the other thread. Would like to see a Trump-Selby final. Just one multi session match they've had and that was 6 years ago at the China Open final when Trump had his breakthrough.
And Trump is the only topplayer really who hasn't had big battles with Selby so far and therefore no mental scars either. Thats why I think that Trump could be the one who'll beat the almighty Selby at the World Championship next year.

Robbo said this on Twitter:
"Make tickets for FREE!!!!!! charging Chinese people a months wages to watch a match is scandalous."
Can't say I disagree with him, the venue has been empty all tournament, only in the Ding and Ronnie's matches it had some people.

Not by UK standards, but China is still largely a third world country.

4 players I really like are still there and you wish Trump in the final? No, please. Selby- Gould and Allen- Yan would be great.

What is Gould doing? This is truly a prime example of choking.
Decider now.

What a split. This is a great break from Gould. Finally he's held his nerves.

Gould wins. Interesting match with phenomenal clearances in frames 7 and 8 by Martin.
I`m looking forward to Yan vs Higgins.

Every now and then Gouldy pops up and has a decent run.
