I'd like Mark "J" Williams to do well but he's in a bit of a jam

Selby losing early would have made sense before the China Open, he was playing that badly, but with that win in between it's a bit weird.

Perry beat Jimmy White in qualifying though so going on to win the whole thing is the least he can do to apologise.

Dennis "Naughty" Taylor commentating on Trump's game, there's a surprise. What is the sound of one hand commentating?

Carter's a good old-fashioned bastard, he knows he has a herd of sympathy cows in his field and he's gonna milk them for all they're worth.

Tortured metaphors aside, if I was a betting man I'd lump on his next opponent after seeing that celebration.

You could do a Shot of the Championship competition from Williams' shots alone. I love the mad old English-hating southpaw

(Also a Missed Black of the Championship)

Hell of a final few frames last night, thought Hawkins would have enough as he had the more recent/relevant experience, but in the end he lost that as much as Williams won it. Always liked Mark so glad he's made the final, but at the time I thought the winner of Higgins-Trump would lift the title, and it'd take a monumental effort to change that.

Also, spare a thought for poor old Barry Hearn, who's trying his hardest to bring the game into the 21st century, and promote it around the world (read: China), but he's ended up with an old man final straight out of the 70s.

Is it the kebab or the Galaxy Minstrels do you reckon? I mean, if he can keep it up for another 14 frames then fair enough.

Special thanks to Mark Selby, whose poor form made this possible.
