Pretty much. Especially with Ronnie, if he wins this I expect him to steamroll whomever he faces in the final. Trump would probably win the final but he has the tendency to be a little over confident which could cost him.

[Starvinho]

Ronnie had a couple of very good chances to go 10-6 but Trump nicks it to make it 9-7 at the end of the session. Match continues this evening at 7pm.

[Starvinho]

Slipping away from Trump. Ronnie leads 13-8 with 3 to play this evening. Judd seems well and truly rattled by The Rocket's brilliance!

[MJB]

Now the tables have turned here as Ronnie has started to unravel a little bit. 13-9 at the moment, and all of a sudden, these are a couple of massive frames.

[Starvinho]

Ronnie beating himself as he's done many times throughout his career. Looks a bit more settled now though, will be looking to win one of these final two frames which will see him in a brilliant position going into the final session.

[hugobomb]

13-10 now, very scrappy frame, with Judd winning it despite only putting together a high break of 14

[MJB]

Crucial final frame coming up.

[Starvinho]

A must win frame for Trump I reckon.

[Starvinho]

Ronnie composes himself and takes the frame with a typical Rocket break. 14-10.

[Baddar]

It sounds obvious to say, but if Ronnie takes the first frame today, or is even level for the day (2-2) at the mid-session interval, Trump has no chance.

[Starvinho]

12-12 in the Walden-Hawkins semi, should be a good finish to that tonight. Ronnie and Trump concludes at half 2.

[Starvinho]

...and Ronnie gets over the line with ease. 17-11.

[brenchill]

Garbage first shot from Hawkins. Ronnie is in already.

[Starvinho]

Ronnie takes the first frame. He's never been behind in the whole of the championships and apparently nobody has ever won the world title having never been behind. Extraordinary.

[brenchill]

Hawkins just had a look on his face that pretty much said "Oh shit..."

[Starvinho]

Ronnie will run away with this, can see it being over in 3 sessions.

[brenchill]

I think the days of midnight finishes are long gone.

[Jack_Attack]

This is probably just a case of waiting for Ronnie to change gears.

[brenchill]

He's already looking good amongst the balls. He would have ran away with the first frame if it wasn't for that kick. Hawkins looks very nervous.

[Jack_Attack]

And that's a BAD miss.
