Some shock results this year with Trump making an exit. Who would you like to see win it or think will win it?

I'd like to see Ronny, who wouldn't. However, I see another title for Selby I'm afraid. Just such a great match player.

Ronnie playing lovely at the moment. Just knocked in a lovely 135.

That shot Shaun Murphy just pulled off was brilliant

Yup, stuck at work hoping I can catch some of this second lot of frames.

Selby's confidence should be high after the China Open.

What an amazing shot, for anyone that wants to see it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/snooker/39660136

Really good match between Liang and Ding.

I'd like anyone but Selby to win it. If Selby gets to the final, then I'll go find some wet paint I can watch dry instead.

I'm never surprised by Trump making an exit, he's such a flaky player.
He is the sort of player who can win or lose against anybody.

Yep. Come on random Chinese guy I've never heard of before.

Glad to see Higgins has got some form back after being in the wilderness for a few years. The only player to win the World Championship in three different decades?

Bubo · 24 Apr 2017 at 11:03

Personally think Higgins shouldn't even be allowed to be there.

MoDe · 24 Apr 2017 at 11:49

I think people will always look at Higgins funny after what he did, its impossible not to.

It's tough to call who will be in the final but I would like to see Ronnie tan Robertson

Turns out Robertson is a gamer, so really we should be backing him!

marc2003 · 24 Apr 2017 at 13:55

Feel sorry for any poor bugger with tickets for today. Selby/Xaio done in less than an hour...

el_dazza · 24 Apr 2017 at 22:53

What a tense frame there! Cracking finish, Fu really is a serious contender.

robfosters · 24 Apr 2017 at 23:02

Superb match. Ridiculously tense. My heart was racing, god knows what the players must have been feeling!

marc2003 · 24 Apr 2017 at 23:02

Glad Fu won that after Robertson got so carried away winning that scrappy frame earlier.

MoDe · 25 Apr 2017 at 09:48

Ronnie v Ding on at 10 and 7 tonight.

Think Ding will give him a run for his money, we shall see.

el_dazza · 25 Apr 2017 at 12:40

4-4 after the first session. Great stuff so far.

el_dazza · 25 Apr 2017 at 12:50

Kyren Wilson's tip has split so play's stopped on the other table whilst it's being repaired

MoDe · 25 Apr 2017 at 16:19

Big fan of Barry Stark (Kyren's coach) he has some quality tutorial videos on YouTube.

Will be tuning in to watch the second lot of frames at 7.

Marsman · 25 Apr 2017 at 16:22

Selby 4-0 up against Fu; soon to be 5-0. Depressing.

Oh is he? I was watching some of his tutorials last night funnily. When i played CS 1.6 goimg back 8 years or so ago, i played on a server with his cousin quite often. He said at the time to watch out for him, how right he was!
