Selby and Robertson will kill each other on Saturday whereas O'Sullivan will have to play 3/4 frames.

Robbo has the H2H edge if only because he's won their last four meetings.

Should be a great match. I expect Robbo to win but I have my doubts...

I get the feeling Selby could slip under the radar here. He's definitely had an easier series of practices sessions tournament, than Robbos tournament.

What will Selby's game plan be? Robbo is scoring great, his tactical game is flawless and his temperament is superb. This will be tough nut to crack for Selby.

No, but they are both playing for a shot at immortality, especially Selby. In 20, 50, 70 years time this is what they'll be remembered for.
Look at Jimmy White, as an example.

Fair enough, I would also say that this encounter tops all their previous matches.

Hum I don't know... it's the Worlds champs after all and long frame format in a Best of 33 semi-final, a chance to get to the Final of the World Champs, but those 2 were finals of Majors that are part of the Triple Crown so even though this match is of HUGE importance, I would say no to your question.
But it's very hard to judge it isn't it... it depends on what one can consider bigger... playing for a title or playing for a chance of getting to the Final of the most important Major...

But looking at it you're probably right, this is the one tournament every player is most remembered for, when refering to Jimmy many state those 6 World Champs Finals losses and his UK and Masters wins are sometimes "forgoten" by some.
So yeah this maybe is their biggest match, but those 2 finals at the Masters and UK arent far off this.

Well, according to a lot of posters, he cared more about the century of centuries than he cared about winning.
It's highly surprising that he was trying to get both the CoC and the win. Who'd have thought he was trying for both?

According to Neil himself, going for centuries made him forget he was there to win the match. As I said they were. He's lucky he got out of that match.

They've only played 8 times in the last year and a half (excluding CL).

In the end he shut judd out for a hour without potting a ball that is hard to do Neil won because of that ability to dominate a match with brilliant match play.
His break building was non existent in that match with 3 half centuries and 1 century.

@Wild:
How confident are you that Mark Selby will reach his second world final?

I Really dont care who wins this match im just looking forward to both men going hammer and tongs.
I Said Long before the Tournament started that its between Ronnie, Robertson and Selby because i believe only Robertson or Selby has the belief and game to beat Ronnie over World Championship distance at this moment in time well if Ronnie is going to Win it he will have to prove me wrong in the Final.
