Probably the first time since 2003 that I didn’t mind any of the 4 remaining semi finalists.

Now that Ronnie is out too, I can totally relax and enjoy the snooker as a neutral.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Cant relax until Judd is out 😂

You need to get over it Viva. It's unhealthy to have an obsession hatred. I dislike a lot of players but if they win I'm just like yeah whatever.

I dont hate Judd, but I do dislike him. At the end of the day there isn’t anything I can do about it.

Ronnie put to the sword, about time.

Zhao a special talent, hope he goes on to win it
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No complaints, he did great, no idea who was playing in Ronnie o'sullivan's body but it wasn't Ronnie...
----------------------------------------------------------------------

He’ll be back next season I think. He admitted in his interview his game is all over the show and doesn’t know how to fix it, yet.

Would like to see him back playing on a regular basis.

I'd like Williams to join Selby and Higgins on 4 world titles, although this Chinese boy is sensational

So why this irrational dislike of Trump, aside from his surname?

He's arrogant, thinks he's a legend, don't get me wrong, he's a brilliant player, but ultimately he's not in the class of, Davis, Hendry, Ronnie, John Higgins, Selby, Williams,... You know why that is..... Yet of course...

Come on Judd!

9-8 Mark, great start

Williams wins the frame and leads 9-8. Judd only played 2 shots. His break off and then a loose safety. Hope that's not going to be an ongoing theme in this match.

I don't want to harp about it too much, but in addition to what Wetherby said, he has given a lot of salty/petulant interviews in defeat (cursing opponent's luck/style of play and conditions rather than his own performance). I can also point to the fact he would rather be playing the WC for £2m in Saudi in front of 50 fans rather than the Crucible (told Stephen Hendry this).

He played great to make 100 centuries this season. However, when Robbo did the same against him, he said '100 centuries in a season means nothing to me'. Similarly, he never acknowledges any good shot from his opponent.

Now, that's just what I see. I hear that he is a nice quiet lad off the table, and he is clearly a great player, he is just not for me given my reasons above.

Looks like the semi's in 2022, and 2015, very close.

He's already saying its cold in the arena 😂

9-9

71 break from Judd and he's level at 9-9. Good response.

Wonder if the arena is warm enough now.... 😑

Actually Viva Judd made 100 centuries in 2019/2020 and there wasn't much reaction to it. This season because of the prize money for it there's been more of a reaction.

Judd wins the frame thanks to his 71 break and he leads 10-9.

You would be a bit peeved if you had Saturday afternoon tickets...................

Ffs Judd golden chance to win the frame and it's 10-10. Massive blow there.

Yep, no refunds, disgraceful. An exhibition to replace it is not sufficient compensation.

It's 10-10, calm Arsenal... It's going 17-16 either way this...

This will probably be nip and tuck all the way...........just when you think you have seen a turning point..........and then there is another one not long after......

I knew if there weren't many frames played, they often put something on, but yeah, they should just refund it if there is no play at all.
