    Eurosport showed odds of 1/3 Wilson, 9/4 O'Donnell just before the first frame.

    This must be one of the worst finals in recent times

    It is a poor final alright.

    Imagine if Ministry of Defence mounts a big comeback, you really would be into Thorburn/Charlton territory.

    "Marin O'Donnell is struggling"😁

    Baffling decision by O’Donnell not to go for the green direct, gives the frame away to go 8-4 down instead of 7-5. Madness.

    Bizarre shot selection alright, O Donnell hasn't really turned up yet he could still of only been 7-5 down.

    And we are on to the next event, from 7pm tonight. Players Championshop, ITV4, first all rounds best of 11, except final (best of 19).

    Top Half

     Judd Trump (ENG) (1) - Chris Wakelin (ENG) (16) - Mon 19/02 7pm

     Tom Ford (ENG) (8) - Ali Carter (ENG) (9) - Tue 20/02 7pm

     Mark Williams (WAL) (5) - Mark Allen (NIR) (12) - Tue 20/02 1pm

     Gary Wilson (ENG) (4) - Hossein Vafaei (IRN) (13) - Tue 20/02 1pm


    Bottom Half

     Zhang Anda (CHN) (3) - Noppon Saengkham (THA) (14) - Wed 21/02 1pm

     Ding Junhui (CHN) (6) - John Higgins (SCO) (11) - Mon 19/02 7pm

     Barry Hawkins (ENG) (7) - Mark Selby (ENG) (10) - Wed 21/02 1pm

     Ronnie O'Sullivan (ENG) (2) - Zhou Yuelong (CHN) (15) - Tue 20/02 7pm


    Some interesting ties there. O'Sullivan / Yuelong meet again for third time in 3 months. Both times before went to decide, both time O'Sullivan won. Not sure which matches will be televised in full, so probably a few good looking matches like Ding / Higgins or Anda / Saengkham will not be shown in full.

    The seedings are interesting, based as they are on 'season rank'; Allen is surprisingly low (at 12), Carter also low (at 9); Anda and Wilson are higher that you might usually expect but are based on consistent results (and Wilsons two wins this season) they have had.

    Almost as interesting is the five players from 2 year top 16 not inside the season top 16 - Robertson (#15), Millkins (#14), Wilson, K (#10), Murphy (#6) and of course, no World Champion (Brecel,#4).

    I think with both fresh from a break, this may well come down to a final between O'Sullivan and Trump. That said, Robbie has a much harder route to the final on paper than Judd has.

    ITV are now showing the second table on ITV X, with commentary.

    Second table probably only has to run until Wednesday night/Thursday afternoon. And ITV X not generally available in ROI I don't think.

    Allen v G Wilson was no classic. 5 hours of battling and it didn't even go to 6-5 in the end.

    Selby up now for O'Sullivan

    Selby looking in the driving seat at this stage. Should be 3-0 from here

    Ya Selby on his game this will be a tester for Ronnie

    One of his few weaknesses is he sometimes throws in the towel

    Finally someone who can actually punish Ronnie's mistakes, as good as Ronnie has been this season far too many people have left him off the hook in matches.

    It may yet turn but so far at least Selby has punished him.

    Obviously the GOAT, but I find O’Sullivan to be a very tedious character at this stage.

    I get snooker fatigue.

    It's same thing over and over again. I haven't watched the welsh or any of this so far.
