The Snooker Thread

First bit of snooker I've watched today. Carter has been woeful, but fair to say that Ronnie looks in pretty good nick. He's taken his chances well (two tons this afternoon). Looks like 3 months off has left him pretty fresh, clearly a big threat to all now.

I don’t think it makes that much difference that he’s missed so much, I think this game will do him then world of good in terms of getting back to match sharpness, and besides, he took the year off before winning it in 2013!

He did it brilliantly. Mark Allen and considering he had not won a frame in the morning, comes back out of a session break and makes the max

someone in the crowd has won £25 grand as well from the sponsors

Brecel a bit brutal tonight. Poor old Ding had a break off 141 in the first frame then mustered only 15 thereafter, going down 1-7 by the end of the session.

Until he won it 2 years ago, Brecel had never won a match at the Crucible…now after barely winning a match since then, he might win it again!

Ronnie and Brecel both just need the one frame to make it through, Ronnie played well enough, but Brecel was absolutely scintillating, not bad for two players, one of whom was on terrible form this year and one for whom he literally had no form these past few months
Zhao-Wakelin—Zhao has been playing well all throughout his campaign starting in the qualifiers, but so has Wakelin, fancy Zhao to nick a close one
Higgins-Williams—neither in sparkling form this tournament, but both have been around the block so many times, think Higgins is the slight favourite
O’Sullivan-Si—think Si should play a bit better than his last 16, but it’s still a tall order to topple Ronnie
Brecel-Trump—the highlight of the round, should be an absolute cracker, gun to the head I pick Trump, but if Brecel plays like he did just now he could win and win easily!

Trump v Brecel should be very tasty but I fancy Judd to win

I think Higgins will best Williams so a trump v Higgins semi final

the other half I fancy a Ronnie v Zingtong semi final

I then think it will be a trump v zingtong final with trump winning

I know I’ve spelled the Chinese lads name wrong

I thought Williams from the start and I'm just about sticking with it. Trump played some of the best snooker I have ever seen though on Sunday evening.

I can’t blame you when the commentators absolutely butcher all of their names lol

Looks like bad Ronnie has turned up tonight, so that's Si to meet Zhao in the semi. Trump cruising now against Brecel so should go on to have Williams.

This is first time in decades ive actually followed and got to watch the World Championsip thanks to WTC offering a live stream service.

Gotta be a Trump V's Ronnie final and you'd have to have Trump as firm favourite, but FMD you'd be a brave man to bet against the Rocket wouldn't you?

Does Ronnie have a twin who has never held a snooker cue before? It seems to be who has turned up to the semi final.

Edit: Ronnie turned up halfway through the 3rd and it's quickly back to 2-2.

Williams can't do quite as much as some of the others with the white ball but he has so much experience he would give everyone a tough game in a worlds. His long pots are dropping in which is is a good sign
