4-4 Shon.
If there's one major criticism of Oli's game, it's that he doesn't make enough pots when he's low on the black. He's actually so bad at that type of shot, I reckon he'd be better off just taking his medicine when he's out of posi down there. |

HTF has Shon got away with that?!?

By:
Gutted, but you had enough chances to put that to bed in those last two frames, Oli....
Shon steals on the black, wins 5-4 ![]() |

Didn't see a ball tonight, shame for oli and so much for croup hth
Selt in a sf? Definitely a weird week! I notice a few people are backing ding for the worlds now and he'll definitely be fresh and coming into a bit of form anyway. Though still not guaranteed to avoid qualifiers, even should he win this week. |

It's easy to forget, but Selt is a ranking tournament winner! And he's made a couple of other semis (all overseas, as was his win, funnily enough!). Didn't really see any of his match tonight. Breaks of 89, 90, 118 and 58, though. Clearly played quite well.
Didn't see much of Ding's after 2-0, TBH, either. I strongly suspect that the successes of Zhao and Fan have made him realise he needs to up his game a bit. There's an awful lot of emerging talent in that academy of his right now, even if some of it looks a bit burnt out. Must admit, I'm looking forward to 10 days off myself ![]() Catch you tomorrow, mate. |

Selt v Ding - Even greater daylight on the numbers than Ding v Dotty. They've only met three times (2-1 Ding, ignoring the CL) and Selt's success was way back in 2012. Interestingly, the three most recent encounters (including the CL) have all gone to Winonas. Prices are more correct than the Dotty match, but I think still a few ticks too big.

Ding makes the first miss, Selt has a bit of good fortune after butchering a black but leaving Ding snookered, Selt eventually ends up winning 6-5.

Not seen much of this, but Judd sets up a final with Selt. Selt played very well the last time they met at the UK Championship and beat him 6-3. I didn't realise until that match how well they know one another. Makes for an interesting dynamic. Not sure I'll be around for it, though.
