Welsh Open

[Fader]

to be fair when it come down to the black we finally saw some class. That is the worst I've ever seen Ronnie play and the worst I've ever seen Allen play. The money on offer was clearly on his mind because some of his shots were bordering match fixing. 

Brilliant to see Milkins get through. Would love to see him make the final but then he would have the nervousness of the 150k prize. Which is currently Ali Carters.

the dream Murphy vs Milkins final hope goes on

[Fader]

Joe got it back to 4-4 and then handed it on a plate to Junxu. Only good thing I suppose is playing until midnight should help Murphy for tomorrow. 4-2 back to 4-4 and then throw it away. Ugh! what's the predictions for scores in both tomorrows semi-finals then?

[charliepie]

Heaven knows but I'll have a pop at 6-3 Murphy and 6-4 Milkins to set up your dream final!

I like it. Hope you're right.

I agree. He wrecked my Murphy, Ronnie double.

It wasn't just poor, it was the atitude and body language.

I would like a Milkens, Murphy final.

[Fader]

What a first frame to win there for Rob

[Fader]

real top stuff from Milkins today. That first frame put the match in his favour from the start. Makes the final and that's a minimum of 40/1 right there 

[charliepie]

He played really well today, it was a gem of a bet 4 days ago getting the 80/1 on him! Surely Murphy will beat Pang tonight for the dream final?

I don't like using WH and I got 66/1 with b365 but the 80/1 was out there. I think Murphy wins tonight. Milkins, now, would win the 150k if he wins the final so that will put a different light on that match.

[Fader]

wow, anybody see that shot from Murphy on the last red?

[Fader]

 

[charliepie]

It was a cracker! Surprised he didn't take the black on as he was never going to get 4 snookers. Pang is playing pretty decently at the moment.

[Fader]

Think Pangs form disappeared later in the match. Milkins vs Murphy it is then. 

Score predictions? 

Not sure if I'll bet on the final. Would be brilliant if Rob could win. 

[charliepie]

A tough match but Shaun comes through, I expect it'll be 9-6 or 9-7 either way tomorrow night. Hopefully not a 9-2 blowout like the Scottish Open.

I am thinking Murphy wins it , -1,5 frame odds are a bit too low but -2,5 is a bit risky so I am hesitating which to take

With the extra pressure on Rob, I'd say Murphy has to be the bet here imo.

[Fader]

Milkins just seems to have a coolness about him at the moment. If it wasn't for the 150k then I would say he has s great chance. I think that's what decides the match .

 

[Fader]

lost an important first frame there, Milkins. A frame he should have won. Could be important. Just like it was for him against Pengfei. If it goes 2-0 now then you'd have to say it could be a quick one.

[Fader]

Fair play to Milkins. 3-1 down and led 4-3. 4-4 first session and all to play for tonight. 

[charliepie]

It's been a good final so far, I would love it if Rob wins and picks Ali Carter's pocket for the £150k!

[Fader]

7-5 rob. Come on milkins!

[charliepie]

Well done lad! Great result for your outrights too, Ali will be gutted, lol:-)

[Fader]

80/1 love it 

[Fader]

Draw for the players

1 Mark Allen v 16 Joe O’Connor
8 Luca Brecel v 9 Jack Lisowski
5 Ali Carter v 12 Judd Trump
4 Robert Milkins v 13 Tom Ford
3 Kyren Wilson v 14 Zhou Yuelong
6 Ding Junhui v 11 Gary Wilson
7 Mark Selby v 10 Shaun Murphy
2 Ryan Day v 15 Chris Wakelin

[charliepie]

Straight into it again tomorrow night!

[charliepie]

Might as well resurrect this thread since the Welsh started today, let's see if Luca's miserable season continues though if he loses to Jun he should really retire! Judd would rather go on holiday and Ronnie comes up with another lame excuse when he would have had a decent chance of cementing his number-one ranking this week.

Tempted by Moody to beat Dale today. Dale didn't look that great in his win over Davies, 4-3.

[charliepie]

I hope you didn't give in to temptation, I've never seen Moody play before but I wasn't impressed by what I saw today. Luca seems to be on fire and it would be a good final between him and Higgins:-)

He’s only 17 ain’t he. I didn’t go with it in the end. Mainly cause he was playing a welsh player and it was probably not good enough value.
