    The way its been going so far, an O'Sullivan vs Hendry final could be on the cards! Robertson will have something to say about that though. Carter has looked excellent too. That's my top 4 of the tournament anyway. I wouldn't bet on one of them to win outright. :D

    Wow! The thoughts of a Hendry v O'Sullivan final would be fantastic, although i feel the winner of Trump v Carter will make the final from that half of the draw.
    I'm back over on Saturday for the last sessions of the semi finals and the two day final. I can't wait.

    Absolutely glorious snooker from Ronnie. It's looking like he's gonna take some stopping this year

    Not surprised Higgins crashed out, probably making a fortune from it. Ronnie playing nice stuff :D

    Shame it's only the quarter final eh? Main event stuff if they both come to the table in top form. Hold on to your hats folks. :D

    Day 10 and here todays line up


     
    1pm
    20* Ali Carter v Judd Trump
    24* Matthew Stevens v Barry Hawkins
     
    7pm
    19* Jamie Jones v Andrew Higginson
    21* Mark Williams v Ronnie O'Sullivan

    * denotes to a finish

    Carter v Trump's session promises to be fantastic, big first frame for Carter to get right back in it, could this be a 13-12?

    Stevens v Hawkins are level and i'll still back Hawkins to finish the job, Stevens has more experience but has'nt played near his best so far this week.

    Tonight sees Jones v Higginson finish, Higginson really needs to win the first session 3-1 to stand any hope, i backed Higginson and funnily enough i still give him a good chance, a big match for both players with a quarter final slot awaiting.
    Then we have Williams v O'Sullivan, Williams did well to win the last two yesterday but quite simply O'Sullivan was superb, you will never see the ball hit as well as he did during the first six frames yesterday, what a quater final that would be with Robertson.

    yeah , very much looking forward to that one. i was thinking they would meet in the qf. ronnie looks set to continue on his unbelievably good record against williams. the other games are very interesting , especially stevens and hawkins which i think will go down to the wire, matthew did very well to come back to level at 8-8 last night

    Ditto.

    There's been some unbelievable pots in these last few frames from both.

    I think Carter just might have the calmer head to cope with the stress. Trump is still a very young man.

    I just hope if Trump wins he doesn't win it with a fluke, because he really has had some run of the balls.

    I really hope Stevens can pull through, and while I like Trump, I'm rooting for Carter!

    Wish I was at home watching instead of in the library (trying to) study! :(

    You'd think after he reached the final the year before and won the Masters he'd be able to handle it!

    Regardless of who wins here, Trump still has an awful lot more to learn about the game, it's not all about potting balls.

    Trumps gone and has been since 12-9. Carter won't get a better chance, one red safe you have to fancy him.

    Some drama! Happy for Carter, he's a nice guy and has had a tough run... Lolz at Peter Ebdon givin him a smacker on the head out of nowhere. I thought he was a cyborg from the future and wasn't capable of emotion!

    Sweet, I don't know that much snooker so didn't know fouling and leaving someone snookered resulted in that!
