    Here's hoping Minty :50: that's two tough rounds he's had now, but two great games.

    I think he might run out of steam do you know that :54:

    I know snooker isn't the most physically exhausting of games but the mental and emotional strain of 2 matches that have went the distance surely must catch him up at 1 point?

    If he gets off to a good start tomorrow afternoon then I think he'll win it, but if it looks like it's going to be another tight match then I agree he could easily run out of steam.

    Is he playing Mark Allen? he looked not bad in the previous rounds. Higgins should be too good though, the pressure might get to the guy Allen in the semi.

    Possibly, but you could also argue that it will keep him focused and playing at his best.

    Kyogo. A phenomenon

    All depends on his start IMO - that little * Allen is a confidence player, and if he gets off to a flier, he will be hard to catch.

    COME ON JOHN!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Seen more misses in these 4 frames then the whole match between Higgins and Selby. Still good lead all things considered for John.

    Change of balls (ohhhh matron) cloth has been ironed as well. Did look as if the playing conditions were poor in all honesty.
