    If Fu had finished a couple of inches lower on the yellow he would have had a easy positional shot for the green and it would have been game over but what a final frame by Ronnie :)

    Fu miss on the green though, that was it for him, so close

    Have to expect Selby to grind Ronnie tommorow. Ronnie just not quite on it lately to pull away from Selby and close it out from here.

    But maybe he'll fire up differently tommorow out of respect for the world no.1 and prove me wrong.

    Im a Ronnie fan for years but you have to think Selby is the favourite in this final. He's been the best player so far this week and his record vs Ronnie is very good. If Ronnie misses chances like he has in his last two matches then he's toast! It pains me to say it but I think Selby will take it 10-7. Tempted to have a small flutter on that score at 9/1.

    tough second frame for Ronnie to lose. Selby was in heaven with the grind of it. Always a nightmare watching Selby

    Just sitting down to it now. Hoping Selby can go on to win it. Ronnie is the most gifted player to ever pick up a cue but I just don't like him. Come on Selby!

    Fortunate that Ronnie didn't take advantage there but he split the reds so well and great cannon on the pink to get going again

    5-2 Selby

    All set. Hoping Ronnie pulls a few back to make it interesting but Selby ultimately wins :)

    7-2 Selby. Good first red from Selby to get going.

    Lovely long red from Ronnie to start the 10th frame

    Good recovery from Ronnie, could have been all over if he lost that frame.

    8-2 would have been hard to recover from but 7-4 maybe 7-5 and we have game on.

    Interesting and open discussion about the tour. Barry 'earn upfront about it. If you've not good enough far down the rankings get another job. No money for the first round losers.

    3 total clearances in a row, we're overdue an ugly scrappy frame now.
