It would have been typical if Heta won or Clemens, when I leave them out. Clayton wins the 4th event. He has had a brilliant four days, reaching the final twice and winning once. No result for me this time. Noppert pushed Smith to a deciding leg and was a couple matches away.
final super series result though is very positive. +160pts. A 150/1, 50/1, 50/1 and 20/1 winner

Not seen somebody dominate a tournament like that. Higgins was brilliant this week. Got the 4th century in the last frame, too.

Looking at the matches tomorrow, there are 3 that take my fancy. First up, I like Ursenbacher against Sijun. Ursenbacher has become quite the player over the last year or two and Sijun hasn't looked the player he was last year. Milkins, I've gone for in a big outsider quarter bet, but I think he can overcome Gary Wilson, too. He has beaten Wilson in the last two matches and he has seems that during Covid, he has really got down to practicing. Finally, Hicks can't be 6/4 to beat the out-of-form, Taylor.

Whilst the Player Championship's ended tonight, we're straight into the Gibraltar Open, tomorrow. A nice early 9am start. In the top half, I like the look of Mark Williams, this week. Judd isn't in the best of form and Mark Allen can be hit and miss. In the bottom half, I'm going to take a chance on Murphy. I also like the look of outsiders, Ali Carter and Pang Junxu.

The final today/tonight then. Ronnie takes on John Higgins. Higgins beat Ronnie in their last match-up and certainly looks to be in the better form of the two. Higgins has had some serious clearances in his matches. I think it's worth taking Higgins here. Ronnie has a great respect for Higgins and will have to think this is a tough test for both. I think that if we have plenty of frames, centuries should proceed.

Bloody predicted text on my phone, Shelby lol 

Soutar, one match from getting to the final 4. Danny Noppert, though, reaches the Semi-final and loses out to Cullen (Cullen 160 and 170 checkout) 
Noppert (200/1) placing means a 50/1 hit 
Barney Vs Cullen in the final. Good on Barney.

I'm going to also take Higgins on the handicap tonight. Higgins has a really good record against Kyren. Beat him all 3 times in 2021, albeit in Championship League matches and also won 7 of the last 8 against him.

In my opinion, Shelby still has to play bad to lose 6-0 and pot just 7points.
with that mind, I’m going to take Higgins to bear Kyren tonight. It was a good performance from Higgins and part of me thinks the beating of Robertson, from Robertson, was masked by a poor performance from Lu Ning prior.

Selby, what an embarrassment. 

No joker in consolation Ian

Hawkins takes on Ronnie tonight, to see who will be the first finalist. Higgins takes on Selby first, though, to see whom will face Kyren Wilson in the other Semi-final. Higgins played some really good stuff against Jordan Brown, but after a big first win for Brown, it was only going to go one way, I suppose. I think Selby wins this and I've been looking for an angle to have a bet. I think Higgins could perhaps make the highest break (based on recent form) but I fell for that trap in the Robbo match.
I'm keeping it simple here and going for a double on the day. Selby and Ronnie. Hawkins beat Ronnie in the last head-to-head but I still see him coming through this with a few to spare. Yuelong should be here against Ronnie really!

yeah, doesn't really work like that though, does it? best player doesn't win everytime.

50/1 winner tonight, as Joe Cullen wins Super Series 1 
+64pts

isn't it always the way, you go -2.5 and the player wins -1.5. Atleast Selby got through. Two matches today. Robertson takes on Kyren Wilson and tonight Lisowski takes on Ronnie. I think Lisowski has a chance tonight. I didn't think Ronnie would be that up for this and he didn't look it against Ding. If Jack plays like he has been, then he has every chance. I'll take Robertson to hit the highest break in the 1pm match. I also think it's worth taking the 5/1 on him winning with most centuries. Hoping for him to pot the first ball. The only downside to the bet.
7pts N.Robertson (highest break) Vs K.Wilson 4/7 bet365
1.5pts N.Robertson to pot the first ball, most century breaks and win 5/1 paddypower
2pts J.Lisowski to beat R.O'Sullivan 11/4 boylesports

The Super Series gets started at 2pm. Much like the winter series, summer series, etc... it's 4 events in 4 days. I would normally wait for the draw, which is around 12, I think, but it's even more of a lottery on Day 1 and so my picks will be :
1pt e/w De Sousa 20/1 paddypower (4 places)
1pt e/w King 50/1 paddypower (4 places)
1p e/w Heta 50/1 paddypower (4 places)
1pt e/w Cullen 50/1 paddypower (4 places)
1pt e/w Van Duijvenbode 50/1 willhill (2 places)
------------------------------------------
0.5pts e/w L. Humphries 100/1 paddypower (4 places)
0.5pts e/w R.Smith 150/1 paddypower (4 places)
0.5pts e/w A. Lewis 150/1 paddypower (4 places)
 

No joy lastnight. Day started alright but couldn't string 20 together. Judd Trump goes out, which helps the outrights I honestly think you could argue that all four underdogs have a chance today :
Lisowski Vs Gould
N.Robertson Vs Ning
O'Sullivan Vs Ding
Yuelong Vs Hawkins
Although you would expect Robbo to come through, he does have a question mark over him, for form. He has lost to some lower quality players recently and isn't match sharp. I can't see Ronnie being up for it. Gould and Lisowski is always a close match and Yuelong Vs Hawkins isn't much more than a 50/50.
I'll take a chance on Gould and Yuelong and a very speculative accy. 
2.5pts Yuelong to beat Hawkins 11/10 bet365
