The Masters has the most beautiful trophy. :bowdown:


Considering China has two of the biggest ranking events going, I've always found the trophies to be underwhelming compared to the UK based events.

These are my favourite trophies, in order.

1. World Championship
2. UK Championship
3. The Masters
4. Tour Championship
5. World Grand Prix

Allen was winning easy all week.

The only time I saw Smurph, he was making hard work of beating Robertson.


I think Allen peaked too early. Murphy has played himself into a bit of form.

Yeah impressive his route to the Final. Unlike Trump who only played one Top 16 player. If Murphy were to win it, it would be quite remarkable but I think Trump wins something like 10-5.

Surely they can get a better trophy than that even the Home Nations trophies look like a trophy and not a discount flower vase from Barnardos

Anyway Judd will win but I'd be disappointed if Judd doesn't win by 10-5 or anything lower. He's at his peak now, he should be dominating the likes of Murphy to an extent like what Ronnie has done in UK 2017 and the other ITV event.

Judd is levels higher than Murphy in terms of level of play, Judd needs to show it consistently.

Smurf can play to a very high level. He's among the best ever in terms of cue action (thus he makes a lot of long pots) and he's a good breakbuilder.
So he can be Judd's equal in terms of scoring and breakbuilding. However that's where it ends.
When he puts his mind to it, just like Ronnie, Trump is world class in terms of safety play. Smurf falls short in that department.

Murphy now in with his first chance of the match.


Judd playing well, but doesn't look unbeatable or unplayable.

But like you said, Murphy not taking advantage.

Judd favourite at the minute.
