Can see Ronnie beating Bingham in the quarters quite easily, then hopefully it's the dream semi-final with Trump. Have a feeling Murphy is gonna beat Trump though, but it won't be all bad if that happens cos Ronnie will slaughter him in the semis!

Ricky Walden has just booked his place in the quarters too with a 13-11 win over Robert Milkins. Quarter finals start tomorrow morning.

Ronnie O'Sullivan vs Stuart Bingham

Shaun Murphy vs Judd Trump

Ricky Walden vs Michael White

Ding Junhui vs Barry Hawkins

Murphy has steamrolled into a 6-2 lead over Trump.

[brenchill]

Ronnie's destroying Bingham. 100% Long shot conversation and 97% pot success. 3-0 up.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Yeah, it's a demolition and becoming quite embarrassing really. Though in fairness to Bingham, O'Sullivan is playing super.

6-0 now.

[MJB]

7-0 and Ronnie is upto a 98% pot success rate. That seventh frame really was incredible stuff from The Rocket.

[Starvinho]

Ronnie will win his match with a session to spare I reckon. Great to see him in top form.

Also, Ricky Walden is 6-2 up over Michael White.

[ZJ Penn]

Man I hope Judd comes back to tie this match. Although if Ronnie keeps this form up I'd quite enjoy Murphy getting decimated in the semis.

[Starvinho]

Trump 8-8 Murphy

Ding 7-9 Hawkins

Very nicely poised in those two matches. All the quarter finals will conclude tomorrow.

[brenchill]

Ronnie's said he's retiring again after this and he only came back to pay for his children's schooling .

He's leading Trump 4-3 at the moment. Great match.

[MJB]

Finished 4-4 after Trump won the final three frames. Great play by both men.

[brenchill]

Is this the only thread that Lineker doesn't post in, by the way?

[MJB]

He doesn't like Golf either, so he didn't post in The Masters thread.

[brenchill]

I need to get into golf.

[Baddar]

Golf is wonderful.

[Lineker]

I actually don't mind snooker, just haven't been following.

Golf can go fuck itself though.

Yeah, golf sucks.

Anyway, Ronnie/Trump starts at 10 for those who are interested.

[Baddar]

Caught the end of the Ronnie/Trump session yesterday. Will watch as much as I can today, too.

[Baddar]

5-5 now.

[Starvinho]

6-6 at mid-session. Trump seems to be losing his head after a few kicks. Could see Ronnie coming out of the session 9-7, 10-6 with a bit of luck. Don't think Trump will go away though, can see this being a 17-16 in the end. To whom is the question...

[Baddar]

Is the general opinion that the winner of this match will go on to win the final? Can't see either of these losing that, to be honest.
