Pretty ruthless from Trump. And the bottom half of the draw has opened up a bit after Murphy and O'Sullivan were eliminated. Looking ominous for the rest?
Looks a Trump-Selby final on current form to me.
Selby is quietly effective so far but I certainly wouldn't discount Robertson.
It's interesting how some of the players do much better without an audience while others - O'Sullivan, I would say - need the fans before they can produce their best.
A bit like live theatre vs film studios I suppose.

He progress quite nicely without a crowd and a limited one in this years world championships?

Or Higgins who is always there or there abouts.

Trump's going to dominate snooker for the foreseeable future. His progress from flash but inconsistent prodigy to all-round expert has been amazing.
I think Trump is basically unstoppable, Higgins might be able to, however I'm cheering on Dotty. (That's probably put the scud on him now).
is tom ford still in the tournament?if he is i would say ford-focus
I shake my head in disbelief at some of the shots these so called pros miss these days. Walter Lindrum, Joe Davis and Tony Meo must be turning in their graves.
......and tapping their coffins in honour of the phenomenal and inventive shots being played .today ..
Didn't think so, so had a look on Wikipedia - Tony Meo is still alive, and running a jewelry shop in London!
That generation of players couldnt even play half rge ahots the modern generation if players do. The game has moved on massively
Tony Meo will be shocked i reckon
Tony Meo will not be turning in his grave since I am pleased to say he is still with us.

Unfortunately like Selby thay both have the personality of dead goldfish
I like Judd a lot more than Selby. He's a bit boring but he's not a miserable sod like some. I can't imagine Judd having a dig at the greatest snooker player in the world for whacking the balls in a hit and hope. He's at least got a sense of humour.

Get in there Dotty ya beaut ye. Brilliant snooker in the first four frames. Thought the nerves were getting to him after the interval though.
they are going bananas in fife.

Liang is the modern Jimmy White (except Liang is better).... unreliable as always.... lives on nervous energy...
Better than Jimmy White? stop being ridiculous lol

I quite like Judd I think people confuse no personality with his focus on the game just like Steve Davis was in the 80s. I don't follow any particular player but whoever knocks out Shaun Murphy gets cheered on, I'm sorry I just can't stand his gurning face and his dreary comments.

I think Ronnie was probably bored with the venue,having played there a lot recently and think he lost the match rather Ursunbacher winning it as Ronnie couldn't be bothered to practice, Ronnie should shut up and stop making stupid remarks about different things, looking like a pillock and sounding like one,

You have to admire the way Judd has really focussed and now is a winning machine. He deserves to be world no 1. In saying that he will, I believe, be judged on how many triple crown events he wins. I am sure he will admit that himself having only won 1 of each. If only Jimmy had had the same same focus and dedication.........

Why does the BBC need 7 ex players to comment on the matches. Licence fees wasted again.
I remember one World Championship when John Virgo seemed to be commentating on every match night and day. Put some shift in that year.
I do like Trump's attitude. He's gone from playboy shot maker to an all round great player. In 20 years time I wonder how many titles he'll have amassed. Reardon in the 70's, Davis in the 80's Hendry in the 90's, then O'Sullivan. Now it's the Trump era. I also love his politeness, the fact he has great respect for his fellow players. An all round good guy.
