Not surprised Hawkins leads 6-4 in main tournaments and 2-0 in multi-session matches. Those multi-session matches happen to be the Worlds no less.
Hawkins knows how to cope with his tactics. I just hope Best Mode Hawkins appears, and more importantly he doesn't lose crucial frames like he did at the Welsh Final this season.
And after his personal problems Barry deserves another piece of silverware.
Cmon Hawk!

Murphy reached the Final of the Players Champs with a terrible neck and back injury too, so thats not an excuse.
Barry fully deserved that win.

Good choice, sir. I will be having a craft beer with a sushi croissant and an avocado burger. But first I'm going to put some beard oil in my beard and put some wax on my moustache so it looks like Salvador Dali's moustache.

Selby 4/9
Hawkins 7/4
Hope it's a close final and Selby doesn't run away with it. Dont mind who wins really but it would be nice for Bazza to get his hands on some Oriental silverware. In saying that the wise money is on the Leicester warrior and i give him the verdict to win 11-8.

A lot of good sport tomorrow.
The Sunday of the Masters which is majestic. The hurling league final between historic rivals Kilkenny v Tipperary. And the China Open. Nice day in front of the tv.

No worries.
Selby can have this title. Should they meet in the Crucible Final again Ronnie will beat him, that much I'm sure.
But I want Hawkins to win this title, especially after what he's been through recently.
