Selby takes the lead again with a couple of 30 breaks.
It might help he breaks down now and again. Gets Ronnie into these tactical battles. The commentators seem to think otherwise -- how much in the tank will he have -- but he is mentally strong, cuts both ways.

Stephen bluddy Fry.

in frame 23 though he seemed to have lost every single safety exchange but then somehow gets jammy with a snooker and then ronnie fucks up that last pink
― ^ 諷刺 (ken c), Monday, 5 May 2014 18:56 (eleven years ago)
another exhausting tactical battles in frame 26..
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 19:01 (eleven years ago)
Selby 14-12. By far the biggest test Ronnie has ever faced in all of his finals here.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 19:11 (eleven years ago)
Selby is just eeking them out. He does break down but his tactical play is so good he gets another chance. Not seen anything like it in a while.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 19:26 (eleven years ago)
And Ronnie is out of sorts with all of this, not his rhythm - think Selby will grind it out now.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 19:29 (eleven years ago)
15-12.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 19:33 (eleven years ago)
I'd prefer having someone win by making spectacular points and high breaks, but we've had that forever, this is just harder to admire.
― StanM, Monday, 5 May 2014 19:47 (eleven years ago)
I have a ton of admiration for it, he is doing it with far more flair than Graeme Dott. Really getting Ronnie in all sorts of bother.
You also know Selby is capable of scoring real heavy, but he hasn't been able to so he has a very strong plan B. Almost as good as a plan A.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 19:50 (eleven years ago)
Ronnie tried bullying him, century in the first frame of the session and Selby just came back at him real hard. Faultless match play and Ronnie looks defeated already.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 19:52 (eleven years ago)
Quick frame, to Ronnie's tastes: 15 - 13.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 20:03 (eleven years ago)
what a fkn break: 15 - 14
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 20:27 (eleven years ago)
He made up for that missed pink with a top yellow.
this is gr8 stuff now
― imago, Monday, 5 May 2014 20:29 (eleven years ago)
yeah really enjoying this, I think it will go to the wire
― Angkor Waht (Neil S), Monday, 5 May 2014 20:31 (eleven years ago)
Great response from Selby: wins it in one visit. 16 - 14.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 20:36 (eleven years ago)
He's getting stronger: 17 - 14. Incredible!
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 20:52 (eleven years ago)
so much for it going to the wire, Ronnie is looking shot
― Angkor Waht (Neil S), Monday, 5 May 2014 20:53 (eleven years ago)
He has since before the break. Just saw that, thought it lost then.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 20:54 (eleven years ago)
Stunning long red from Ronnie, feels like a last hurrah!
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 20:55 (eleven years ago)
Ronnie is getting down quick - terrific 57 break, some genius in despair.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 21:05 (eleven years ago)

jesus shut up
it's all over
― ^ 諷刺 (ken c), Monday, 5 May 2014 21:11 (eleven years ago)
Selby now: yellow to green
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 21:15 (eleven years ago)
Green to brown.
Terrific!
Now its blue to pink w/the rest
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 21:16 (eleven years ago)
Settle down now, thank you!
― StanM, Monday, 5 May 2014 21:16 (eleven years ago)
wow
― Angkor Waht (Neil S), Monday, 5 May 2014 21:17 (eleven years ago)
Awesome clearance.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 21:17 (eleven years ago)
hendry's record's safe
― ^ 諷刺 (ken c), Monday, 5 May 2014 21:18 (eleven years ago)
It was going to be safe even after today, didn't think he'd ever get near it (thought he'd win four...)
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 21:21 (eleven years ago)
Anyway, he probably should've won this by now. Only Higgins was more 'granite' to deny him, and that clearance was the best to win the final since I think Higgins himself since Trump, but I might be recalling it wrong..
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 21:25 (eleven years ago)
Looking back, match of the tournament, imho: Robertson v Selby
― StanM, Monday, 5 May 2014 21:26 (eleven years ago)
Some good tight stuff already: Selby taken to the brink on day one.
Now Ronnie, first frame on a max..
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 21 April 2015 13:55 (ten years ago)
That was a tough chance, gets a century instead.
Asked the ref what the money was..;-)
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 21 April 2015 13:58 (ten years ago)
The guys in the studio are amazed that Ronnie is playing in his socks.
― Eyeball Kicks, Tuesday, 21 April 2015 15:54 (ten years ago)
"the socket"
― StanM, Tuesday, 21 April 2015 16:37 (ten years ago)
Had forgotten how much I love watching this when I'm in the right mood.
Alan McManus looks like a dude with some dark secrets.
― Ron Paul's Drag Race (Mr Andy M), Tuesday, 21 April 2015 16:56 (ten years ago)
Scottish players in general aren't to be messed with apart from Maguire, his record is appalling.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 21 April 2015 19:32 (ten years ago)
LOL @ Ding forgetting he was on a 147.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 21 April 2015 19:33 (ten years ago)
Stevens has just annihilated Williams 10-2.
Can't wait for the match w/Ronnie.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 22 April 2015 14:35 (ten years ago)
saw some of mcgill earlier, serious serious player
carrington too but maybe a little less so
― carles the jekyll (imago), Friday, 24 April 2015 20:32 (ten years ago)
Ding started badly in both of his first two matches. as turned one around and now another, except this is against Higgins. One away.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 25 April 2015 10:43 (ten years ago)
Higgins just holding on here
― Keith Moom (Neil S), Saturday, 25 April 2015 11:06 (ten years ago)
wtf @ this frame. Ding had the match at his mercy then a bad contact. Higgins wins on the last black - still 12-9 down.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 25 April 2015 11:07 (ten years ago)
ok Ding has missed a fkn sitter...
