I shouldn't really say this as a Selby fan and obviously would love to see him pick up the trophy
But how good would a Jones v Hang final be, it wont happen but would make such a change.
Also Jamie Jones looks a completely different player to the one who dropped off the tour after his ban, he has obviously been practicing whilst he was banned
Only saw the last two frames but Ronnie was very ragged.
good job you didnt see frame 1 and 4
Frame 1 Ronnie played on 70 odd points behind with just pink and black left on.
Frame 4, he tried to play on 50 points behind with just the black left(Selby had just potted the pink and missed the black so everyone assumed that was it then Ronnie tried to come back to the table and the ref told him he couldnt 😂😂)
His last 11 Ranking finals in a row Selby has now won matching Stephen Hendrys record
2020 Scottish Open 2020 European Masters 2019 Scottish Open 2019 English Open 2018 China Championship 2018 China Open 2017 International Championship 2017 World Championship 2017 China Open 2016 UK Championship 2016 International Championship
His last defeat came against Ding Junhui in the 2016 Shangai Masters
Knew he would destroy ROS, he was struggling all week and moaning about his tip. Surprised he got to the final when missing so much in every match should have been beaten.
Well done Selby, thats an impressive record in ranking finals. Nice to see him back on form,
Cheers for updates, i did copy you something on Twitter Paulio last week did you watch it?
It feels a bit of anticlimax at the mo, i'm thankful we have snooker but also its a bit odd when you have the scottish open at MK and every event just changing the banner. Not much they can do at present but it is making it harder to follow, i choose pool over snooker last night.

Did you watch Ronnie v Hawkins? There was a moment where Ronnie played off two cushions to play a safety but under hit so he was warned, well after he asked if its loss of frame as ref didn't warn it(good sportsmanship), however as he could hit one red but only partially as his other red was the other side. Ronnie didn't know the rule that you cant be total snookered by your own ball, its very similar in pool as i've been told it before. He was very confused all more jokingly with the ref, how long has this been a rule? he still went the 2 cushions tougher route but hit it 3rd time after all of that lol
Then we went onto the next frame, he had the exact same chance to do it to Barry after he missed 2 times, but Ronnie didn't want to take the frame that way, he decided to get him to play on rather than put it back. One thing, would have done this again Selby? I doubt it, he has practiced with Hawkins eg. going into the Worlds before so maybe its because it was someone closer, or a friend.
Nice to see he is already playing better than last week, although did have a massive miscue when he jumped over a ball and still not 100% happy, Playing Wilson it could be interesting today.
Selby looked in fine form this week so far, obviously following last weeks win but his break building was class today against Mcgill, was frozen out 2 frames at 2-2, wins the next two. really impressive and hopefully he is back into a bit of form
