Quarters started today, some great matchups. Trump-Robertson in particular will be fantastic.
Anyone else been watching this?

I've been watching what I can, got Trump/Robertson on at the moment and glad I did, turning out to be a great game so far. Obviously Robertsons 100 centuries was good to see but mostly surprised how much Trump keeps letting leads slip, thought he was going to take it easily after the second set with how the final one has played out with 2/3 left to go I think it's easily Robertsons.

I was expecting a better challenge from Murphy against O'Sullivan. He looks a shell of his former self.
Love to see Ronnie and Robertson in the final.

God Robertson was just majestic in that final session - I had the snooker next to the football so it was great fun for me! Poor Trump, he played so well, just came up against a guy at the top of his game. Those two are my joint second favourite players (behind Ronnie and just ahead of Marco Fu, who I've always liked for some reason haha) so watching them go the distance was great. A Ronnie-Robertson final would be an epic event.
Congrats to Robertson for getting his 100th Century of the season too - a magnificent achievement that will take an incredible effort to top.

Not too bothered who wins out of Robertson/Selby as long as Ronnie beats Hawkins, notthing against him just think Ronnie against either of the other 2 would be better.
Would be a mistake to rule him out now but Robertson doesn't seem quite right in the early frames tonight, long way to go yet obviously but Selby could be getting a good lead going.

Robertson has seemed off I agree, but in this last frame he's looking fantastic. He was in a worse position vs. Trump at this stage and pulled it back though.

Don't disagree that Robertson has the ability to do very good comebacks just think Selby could be more tricky to play catch up with then Trump, Selby just seems more aware when it comes to slowing his opponent down.
Didn't see the session today but saw some highlights and so far what Ronnie has been doing to Hawkins is just mean.

Saw Ronnie this morning, some of his snooker was utterly unreal. Missed most of the afternoon session (just turned it on) but it sounds like Selby is playing like you said he would, slowing it down and making it difficult for Robertson to get a foothold in the game.

Just finished watching Ronnie/Hawkins afternoon frames and whilst I'm glad Ronnie is through you have to feel a little sorry for Hawkins with how bad a losss he's taken. If Ronnie keeps this form going I'd be surprised if he doesn't win the final no matter who he gets.
