    They're saying on commentary that Judd needs to win this session 6-2. Even if does, he'd still be 14-11 down. And he's handed Ronnie an easy opener.

    Surely Judd could have glanced the reds below the pink and get back to balk instead of the risky red.

    Ronnie lucky enough again there poor safety hits the blue full in the face but doesn't leave anything on.

    If nothing else at least today I learned something-

    https://literarydevices.net/damp-squib/


    ‘The phrase “damp squib” seems to have originated from squibs, an explosive device that becomes damp, and does not work. It could be that the phrase was derived from squibs, the firework. However, its first use appeared in the newspaper published in London in March 1837, The Morning Post.’

    Kamikaze snooker from Trump here. He's a beaten man.

    I'd say Ronnie had thoughts of a 147 there at the start. The reds were perfect.

    Ronnie looks a bag of nerves. The comeback is on

    That was a Hail Mary play by Judd and has left Ronnie in again.

    The lads on commentary were wrong I felt. If Judd just played to drop the black in and missed, he would have only left the 2 reds on the right of the table as possible pots. And as it turned out they weren't possible after he played the shot. Doesn't matter now as Judd made the pot.

    I'm a Ronnie fanboy but I completely agree. Dick move, like a bully.

    If Trump keeps this up might have a match. Plus from pride point of view no1 wants to be a hammered losing finalist. Parrott still seems embarrassed by his 1989 loss. And that is over 3 decades ago!

    BBC not showing the before and after shots more than once so as not to show up the absolute failure of the system of replacing the balls?

    This match is far closer than scoreline suggests. Trump gifted Ronnie frames yesterday.


    Ronnie isn't playing that great tbh. He's messing up opportunities in the balls but trump kept giving him more.

    How many times...it's appearing another continuation from yesterday for Judd...he's so delighted to be in that he instantly makes a mess of it.

    Agreed. Like all his previous matches, Ronnie's needed several chances to win the majority of his frames. If the Judd that played Higgins in the final a few years ago turned up, I'd say the scoreline would be reversed. If that Judd could somehow turn up now, he still might have a chance here.

    Think that is 2/3 frames Ronnie has thrown away. Judd is on about 6/7 thrown away.

    Playing the occasion as Hendry said. How far was Ronnie ahead the year Selby beat him?

    Fairplay to Trump though.

    Edit - found answer on wiki 2014 final -

    'In the first session on Sunday afternoon, O'Sullivan took a 5–3 lead, which he extended in the evening session to 8–3 and 10–5. Selby took the last two frames of the day to leave O'Sullivan with a 10–7 overnight lead'
