O'Sullivan seems to be on form, although he made some very negative comments, despite being current world number 1.
Anyone else a snooker fan?

Yep i follow it, nice to see Mark Williams back to form. Hope he can win this one to get a bit of confidence back.

What a cracking semi final. Both players on top form. Hopefully the final will be another good match.

What time are the two sessions for today's final? BBC website useless

This final has been ridiculous. Deciding frame

Didn't watch a single second of this tournament until last night. Ronnie was 9-7 up. Selby won the next frame to make it 9-8 & the following frame was just unbelievable - it had everything.

Thought Ronnie was a bit quick to throw the towel in at 9-9 & still about 60 left on the table.

Yes, he needed two snookers, but given the circumstances I think most players would have continued.
Great match though, doesn't get much better quality than that.

Didn't see any interviews afterwards but would be interested to see what Ronnie had to say about it. It just seemed like he couldn't be bothered to play out that last frame. He got a load of points off snookers in the 2 frames before that so was obviously hitting some nice safety shots.

ps. Does O'Sullivan always break left-handed like he did in that final frame?

I've given up listening to what Ronnie says off the table. His comments irritate me too much. I could watch the guy play all day, but his attitude is just wrong. The way he conceded the last frame is typical.
He plays left handed to show how much skill he has. Undoubtedly the most naturally gifted player ever, so why the need for all the self-deprecating negative comments?

[DJT75]

Yeah, I've seen him use his left hand loads of times, but only when he actually needs to. Was surprised to seen him break with it

[Steven]

It was a superb final. I think it was the 10th frame when that left middle pocket was getting some punishment with some frankly ridiculous pots going in. Although a few frames later Ronnie also put a stupendous one in

Congratulations to Selby, was supporting him although I thought at 9-6...
