Only saw bits of the afternoon interval, but Higgins seemed to be missing a lot and getting decent run of the ball. Looked like Judd could have been further ahead. Hopefully both up their game tonight for a close finish.

Judd Trump wins 9-4 improvement from him this evening. He made a century break but will need to be a lot better against Maguire.

How jammy was Selby there??!!! Flukes re-spotted black for 7-5 interval lead

Selby wins 9-6 Yan needs to improve on his positional play and try and get the reds open earlier on, he refused that a lot and I felt that costed him a fair few frames.

Shaun Murphy flukes frame ball and levels it at 4-4. He's made 3 centuries and it will be an intriguing evening session.

Great match overall, Shaun Murphy made 6 centuries but still lost 9-8, Mark Allen got a huge fluke in the deciding frame and took advantage of it. Unfortunately for some reason this thread is dead despite the fact this is a huge tournament!

Terribly day for Judd Trump losing 9-6 he played very poorly but Maguire certainly had the run of the balls. Several flukes and fluked Snookers at crucial times.

Selby got absolutely hammered 9-2 by Mark Allen. Is Maguire going to clinch his first ranking title for 7 years?

Yes he can. 10-6 victory for Maguire. What a performance from him. He wasn't supposed to even be in the event but he's taken full advantage of playing in Dings place.
