snooker world championship final

O'Sullivan is pretty much in the semis. Totally undisturbed run.

Yan has been brilliant tonight. 6-2 down now 7-7. This breaks started with a double.

Another beautiful century by O'Sullivan to reach his 13th century SF. He wins it 50% of the time from here you know.

I introduced snooker to my in-laws over in Poland over Easter! They all got hooked on it. We were watching on Eurosport. It was annoying how when Radzi Chinyanganya was talking to pundits Jimmy and Ronnie* who were pundits in what looked like a basement their voices were immediately overlaid with the Lektor translation, but that's Polish TV for you! For some reason Poles have never got into subtitles.

* playing and pundit-ing. Bit unusual, I thought.

Danger signs for Mark Williams. 9-8 down then on a 28 break and an easy miss on a red..

Made a century at the next chance he got.

Haven't seen a young player this together in all areas of the game at a World Championship since Selby.

some vintage stuff being played in that rn

10-10 at the mid session. Excellent response by Mark.

Incredible clearance by Williams, he is one away..

filth from williams in the final frame

clutch from higgins

Jack choked.

Trump is red hot so far. 3-0 against Williams.

Judd is playing ok but Williams is not at the races. On the way to losing the session 7-1

Trump Higgins would be the nightmare final

nothing to do but grit teeth and hope judd does it again in that case tbh

Higgins 3-0 up and you are back posting on the thread. Perfect combo of shit.

Just like the afternoon both Judd and Higgins are helping themselves. Awful set of SFs so far.

Ok Ronnie is going now, great 70 break

Century for 3-3, he's been great

Just saw the last 5 mins but it looks like that was special from Ronnie to steal it at the last, 10-6

Williams has won the last four frames..

Five, he is two behind..

6-2 Williams, two behind. The two frames Trump won were centuries, but Williams' long potting was incredible throughout, he was so dominant for the rest of the time.

Incredible break from Ronnie. 80 from v little available. 11-7.

Fantastic century from Ronnie and now John. 12-9. Quietly impressive for John to have won 8 frames with a highest break of 58 but he needs to score heavier if he is going to push Ronnie.

Ruthlessly punishes an error by John for another Ronnie century. The 100th of the championship.

That error broke Higgins. Ronnie wins the next two, with a century at the last. 15-9.

Disappointing from Williams, just went for a bit too much when there was a safety shot on. Trump went onto win 14-11.

Williams was going to lose the next but Judd got unlucky and then Williams pulled a couple of gorgeous long pots on the yellow and green to keep himself in the match.

14-13.

Williams is not winning in one visit, it's getting nervy but Williams is killing it with his long potting. Judd will win if he scores heavy under pressure, but its getting scrappy and Williams will win if it shapes up like that.

At the next Williams pots a beautiful long red bridging over the green.

Went on to clear up, 14-14.

15-15. Williams has shot his 16th century, equalling Hendry's record (from 2002) in a WC.

this match fs

Got scrappy. Williams in front for the first time, he's one away.

V poor safety from Judd. He is better at his tactical game these days but I think he'll be found out with a great great player putting on the pressure.

Judd wins a scrappy frame! We are on to a decider.

After a testy safety battle it's Trump with the first chance..

Judd missed it but I don't know how Williams wins from here..

I've watched more this year than I have in ages. The semis have been brilliant. That O'Sullivan 80 clearance (minus the black because Ronnie) was something else. I think Williams looked knackered at various points. Think that eventually caught up with him.

Ronnie Vs Trump. Ronnie has outclassed every opponent since the 2nd round and Trump hasn't felt as confident all season and hard a much harder path to the final.

Has to be Ronnie but there is that pressure of a 7th world title. Really looking forward to it.

3-1 O'Sullivan. Judd lost on a re-spotted black and showed weakness, especially on a green.

what happened there

Looks like Ronnie blurted out something rude, words were said etc.

Judd did really well to pot that long yellow and win the frame from there. 5-3.

7th world title on the way!

Game on.

excited for the memes of what he was saying into trump's ear at the end

Ronnie more than kept it together at the end. Well done Judd on stretching it to the last session.

Of his world titles that was maybe one of his easiest. No one really gave him a game. John Higgins and Judd came into the matches slightly drained or not in tip top shape, and Ronnie was utterly ruthless.

Stop all snooker till we stop using oil I don't care.
