Anyone else besides me even vaguely interested in this?

Who'd you think's going to win? Surprise packages?

Selby beating Higgins was probably the biggest shock the tournament will see. And he'll probably lose in the next round anyway, up against Mark Williams. Nigel Bond beat Hendry as well, though Hendry looked off form and Bond only just won it.

I'd like an O'Sullivan-Murphy final. Probably the two best snooker players around when they're on top form. Though Stevens may do well again. With respect to the other players, he's got a fairly easy draw to the semis.

Anyone else?

Jimmy White is out again.

Every year I hope the poor chap might finally do it, but alas, it's not going to be this year.

Hendry only lost because Bond was pissing him off through his sheer tedium. He wasn't on form either, but the main reason he lost was playing crazy shots to try and break the stalemate a bit. Which is also what happened when the black was re-spotted.

He's never going to win it. I'll admit he's a good player, but you should learn something from losing six world finals...

Do you think Murphy will clean up Davis, or is there a fight in the Nugget yet?

6-2 up, best of 25? Murphy will kick his ass. 13-6, I reckon.
