I'll definitely be watching. I'd love to see Ronnie v Judd in the final! I assume Neil Robertson's 1st round opponent is *not* the singer... :P
April 18, 201411 yr I'll definitely be watching. I'd love to see Ronnie v Judd in the final! I assume Neil Robertson's 1st round opponent is *not* the singer... :P And Mark Selby is not playing the Guardian's former political editor. I always enjoy the World Championship. I prefer the longer matches rather than the best-of-nine frames matches in some of the other tournaments.
April 18, 201411 yr Author No it's definitely not the singer, he's from Wallasey. And also Michael White is a Welshman who reached the quarter-finals last year.
April 22, 201411 yr Author Definitely Ronnie will be even more of an favourite to win, For some reason, Ding doesn't do well at the Crucible. He's only reached one semi-final. Potential shock: 8-3 to Alan McManus against Higgins.
April 22, 201411 yr Author Potential shock: 8-3 to Alan McManus against Higgins. Which did happen with a 10-7 win for McManus. First time he's reached the second round since 2005. The two-time semi-finalist from 1992 and 1993 now faces Ken Doherty in the next round. He was 9-4 up and then Higgins closed to 9-7 who then missed a simple blue and McManus cleared up. Rolling back the years are Ken and Alan.
April 24, 201411 yr Author Second Round Draw Ronnie O'Sullivan v Joe Perry Shaun Murphy v Marco Fu Barry Hawkins v Ricky Walden Mark Davis/Dominic Dale v Michael Wasley Mark Selby v Ali Carter Alan McManus v Ken Doherty Judd Trump v Ryan Day Mark Allen v Neil Robertson/Robbie Williams What do people think of the second-round matches?
April 26, 201411 yr Good comeback from Ronnie to beat Joe Perry, but he does almost invariably have one session when he totally blitzes his opponents - fortunately this time it was the last session! :)
April 26, 201411 yr Author Last year's runner-up Barry Hawkins is through to the quarter-finals after beating Ricky Walden 13-11 in a re-match of last year's semi-final.
April 28, 201411 yr Author Quarter-Final Draw O'Sullivan v Murphy/Fu Hawkins v Dale Selby v McManus Trump/Day v Robertson Neil Robertson only needs one more century to reach 100 centuries in a single season.
May 2, 201411 yr Author Semi-Final Scores: O'Sullivan 6-2 Hawkins Selby 5-3 Robertson After the first session.
May 3, 201411 yr Ronnie wins semi final, with a session to spare again! :) And will be playing an opponent who has struggled through their semi-final.
May 4, 201411 yr Author It's Ronnie O'Sullivan v Mark Selby in the world final. I'm going for Ronnie to win 18-9.
May 5, 201411 yr YESSS!!! What a brilliant win for Mark Selby. A perfect illustration of why these longer matches are so much better.
May 6, 201411 yr Author Well done Mark Selby indeed. Fantastic performance from him. A real battler. From 8-3 down and 10-5 down.
