April 14, 20178 yr Judd Trump is nothing like Donald Trump at all. Wilson to win the title. Edited April 14, 20178 yr by Sakho
April 15, 20178 yr Author Me too, we're perfectly aware Donald and Judd aren't the same. Glad O'Brien has avoided the whitewash although remains 8-1 down against Selby. I expected Maguire to beat McGill and he could as he is 7-2 up against him.
April 17, 20178 yr Author A real thriller tonight between Fu and Brecel. A great comeback from Marco.
April 18, 20178 yr Author John Higgins through although a comeback from Martin Gould to win 10-6. He was 7-2 up at one point was John.
April 19, 20178 yr Author 8-6 now to Rory McLeod against the favourite, Judd Trump. A massive upset potentially.
April 19, 20178 yr Author And it is a major upset with McLeod winning 10-8 over Trump in a unscheduled third session.
April 20, 20178 yr Author Trump faces a fine for not talking to the media in his post-match against McLeod.
April 20, 20178 yr I shall feel almost unclean cheering on someone called Trump. That didn't last long :(
April 20, 20178 yr Author He's got bags of talent does Judd Trump. But he does play some very unnecessary shots at a crucial point.
April 20, 20178 yr He's got bags of talent does Judd Trump. But he does play some very unnecessary shots at a crucial point. Very true. They can be great shots when they work, but damaging when they don't.
April 21, 20178 yr Author He's still only 27, Trump. Although he still almost has that stigma to just play ridiculous shots when it's not needed.
April 26, 20178 yr Author John Higgins first person through to the semis with a 13-6 win over Kyren Wilson. I think he has a great chance of winning the title would be good to see John win it again.
April 27, 20178 yr Author Semi-Final Draw Mark Selby v Ding Junhui John Higgins v Barry Hawkins I'll be surprised if Hawkins beat Higgins in the semis.
April 28, 20178 yr Author Ding and Selby however, what a third session that was. 12-12 going into the final session. Ding's 13th century at the World Championship.
April 30, 20178 yr Author 8-4 currently to John Higgins. Selby still looks tired following his match with Ding.
