    Terrible luck there for Williams nestling right on top of the yellow after a lovely long pot.

    Didn’t need that pace on the cue ball, nightmare… hopefully won’t cost him.

    hasn’t had much luck Williams…

    Got a very lucky green in this frame. He's potting great balls in this frame but he's making it hard on himself with lax cue ball control.

    Surprisingly half-arsed efforts at snookers there by Judd

    Well I was beginning to wonder what I'd do tomorrow afternoon. MJW has set up an interesting final session

    Great session for Williams. Delighted to see him make a match of it!

    Is Alan McManus on a curfew or something? He's never there at the end of the evening sessions!!

    Going to be away tomorrow afternoon, earlier today I didn't think I'd be missing much, now I'm annoyed I won't see it.

    Poor Jimmy looks like he had a shave with a garden shears his face is in bits! Maybe that’s the f ing conditions he can’t work in for anyone who heard him drop the f word earlier

    Delighted Williams has pulled it back. Not that surprising since Trump isn't actually playing at his best and Williams had been up to the first session of the semi.

    Just seeing Ronnie clearance here to make it 10-6. Question though, getting the black cleaned on the first black where it barely went passed the link, isn’t that a similar situation to Yan Bingtao a few days ago which caused uproar? Didn’t hear any commotion about it because it’s Ronnie I guess

    On the topic of balls jumping around the table, the last word of the day goes to Big Bill Werbeniuk

    Similar, but not the same.

    So much for all the talk this morning about Trump beating Williams with a session to spare and having a day off tomorrow, if Williams can manage to get level it will be a big test for Trump.

    Not just in this thread, but in general, the propensity to make wild predictions as a statement of fact, way before anyone could possibly predict an outcome (usually just writing off the opponent, groundlessly) drives me nuts.

    As I've said earlier, fair play to Mark for making a match of it (and fools of those who doubted him!).

    Absolutely great comeback from where he was...

    1st session 1-7

    2nd session 4-4

    3rd session 6-2

    Against Yan he had a great first session, terrible 2nd session and then lost the first two frames in the third session before fighting back and winning the last three to win the match.

    I feel he needs a good start to the final session tomorrow to have any hope as Trump could easily run away with it as well

    Of the 2 semis, Ronnie seems to be more likely to run away and win his. His dominance has finally been reflected on the scoreboard.

    Ronnie is playing the opponent and himself

    If he moves into top gear then he wins everytime

    Yeah it is as if Williams heard Hendry. Hendry said Williams had to win that session 6-2, and he went and did it.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Drooling over that opening red. I'm expecting him to make that 95 out of 100. Red was near the pocket. Plenty of reds then in pottable positions. Fair play there were a few nice shots that break.

    That 51 was John's highest break of the semi-final. Partially why he's behind. He played some good shots in this frame though. 11-8.

    Now that's a new low. Ronnie asking for the object ball to be cleaned, and then plays a safety off it.
