I managed to catch some of the Williams v Higgins match last night and again this morning.Possibly one of the best matched of the tournament so far.Congratulations to Mark Williams winning on the final black 13-12. |

I am looking forward to the semifinals.If Trump v Williams is as good as their semifinal in 2022 I think of the top of my head we are in for a treat.O’Sullivan v Xintong should be a good watch as well.Both could go either way.In the end I think it will be O’Sullivan v Trump in the final |

"I’ve missed the morning session because of work but that doesn’t look like a good morning for Ronnie at all! Xx" . Like your self’s stuck at work so I didn’t see any of it.Not looking good for Ronnie.There are 8 frames tonight if he loses 5 of them tonight he will lose the match and both players will have Saturday afternoon off.

Would be great if he wins but Zhao is a fantastic player! |

I remember watching him win a triple crown event before the ban and I agree with the comparisons with a young Jimmy White. |

"Well played Zhao beating Ronnie with a session to spare.
He played like it was a practice
I did like the appreciation from him to Ronnie "
Yes me as well and Ronnie used to be his mentor, when Zhao was missing he was leaving nothing on and got the run of the balls but he deserved to win the match.Well done Zhao. |

"Well played Mark Williams beating Judd Trump.Looking forward to tomorrow final I think it Mark Williams experience may be the difference against Zhao Xintong"
Yep looking forward to the final and hope it is a good one.
My head says Williams but my heart wants Zhao but not bothered either way but would like to see Zhao do it.
Where has the last 15 days gone. |

Zhao 11-6 up after the first day in his first World Championship final.At the start of the final I felt that Mark’s experience and tactical play he would edge it.I still feel that could be the case but he needs to start the 3rd session better than he did the 1st session. |

"Congratulations Xhao Xintong China’s first Men’s World Snooker Champion.
So good for the sport. This will explode the sport. Well deserved win too " . I think it’s a good thing and Zhao win was deserved.However sometimes mud sticks and Zhao has served his time and so should be allowed to have a 2nd chance. |

Well done Zhao.I did have a £100 bet on him @6-5 when higgins and Williams where playing as I thought he would be the fresher of the other 2 players as he had a full Saturday off to recover.Was 8-11 once the match started with Williams and I think Williams lost it in the first session.
Pleased there was a bit of play in the final session as only seeing one frame if you bought a ticket would be not good.
Pleased Williams had a decent tournament
I watched Zhao beat Slessor and that match could have easily gone another way and we might be saying things differently.
Well done Zhao. |

Well done Zhao." . Yes Mark Williams lost it in the 1st session where there was a couple of frames he could have won to be 5-3 down instead of 7-1.I did think that Mark would carry the form he showed against Higgins & Trump into the final but it was not to be. |
