Wtf is Williams doing playing 1-handed shots? His antics this afternoon have me rooting for the Chinese lad.

Is there any sports person more infuriating to watch than Jack Lisowski?

Holy shit, great stuff on both tables. But the 24th frame of the Allen Higgins match was unreal.

Ahh, fell asleep trying to catch up on that match. Bloody time difference.
I love the theory of Peter Ebdon - incredible focus and determination, a different style which could unsettle people. In practice, fucking hell.
Agree about Lisowski.

He’ll have a head start tomorrow. I see the usual late night finish in one of the semis will knacker whoever wins it.

To be honest I haven't seen much difference in his level from yesterday, it's just that he's now playing someone who can complete a break from start to finish.

Jones wasn’t even at top end amateur standard for the first 8 frames. No clue how he made it through the semi. You could tell from Bingham yesterday that he basically gave him 7 or 8 frames. The guy is ok but absolutely bang average as a snooker player. Anyone with tickets to the final will be feeling a bit robbed IMO.

That's what I gathered. I'm generally not a fan of seeding but you can see it makes sense when you get tournies like this. Fair play to them though - it's a good paycheck that you hope helps them to kick on.

JJ has shown moments of brilliance, immediately followed by moments of incredibly poor judgement. I feel like if he can relax today and stop caring he might do pretty well.
Famous last words.

Yeah, not doable. He's basically got to increase his break average by 25 in the next 8 frames to win.
