I also don't expect they will, but that would be a sensible decision.

in all seriously i think in the past it has been 8 because in a best of 25 it could go all the way to 25 frames however if its 10-5 after 8 frames the second session they would prefer to keep that 1 extra frame back for the deciding session.

A good pattern (if we can call it one) is the last time Ronnie trailed 9-7 in a Best of 25 match at the Crucible he won 13-10, happened in 2006 against Ryan Day.

Hopefully more of the same this time :-D

Yeah Hawkins doesn't appear to be in the form he was last year but I still expect him to win tomorrow.

I think if Perry finishes off Ronnie then the winner of that half will come from the Murphy/Fu match and I'm tipping Marco for that one. Thinking back to the International final against Ding, that's what Fu is capable of and to be quite honest, if he plays like that he could end up winning the title. He's my tip for the top half unless Ronnie suddenly rediscovers his form which on today's performance is starting to look unlikely.
