Add the other finalists to the equation and there's only 5 more people to choose from, with Trump and Selby favourite within that group of players. <br /><br />Not wide open this year. Only 5 players with an actual chance imho.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-63832449019743306722013-04-17T12:21:16.515+01:002013-04-17T12:21:16.515+01:00I reckon it'll be Ronnie vs Selby in the final...I reckon it'll be Ronnie vs Selby in the final.

Selby certainly does and he deserves nothing but credit for his determination and application, the reward for which is the handsome tally of titles he has collected.<br />His style is less flamboyant and more methodical. Not likely to set the heather on fire. Then again, it's not how, but how many.<br />The magic formula for sponsors, promoters and fans alike is a player who possesses all the qualities mentioned but with the added panache and excitement that has spectators on the edge of their seats and the ability to ensure that viewing figures swell every time they are at the table.<br />O'Sullivan is peerless in this department. Trump has the crowd pleasing qualities in additional to his immense talent. The only player I see, however, that shows the promise to possibly take over from Ronnie (whenever that may be) is Jack Lisowski. <br />A prodigious talent, nonchalant style and attacking attitude combined with a maturity that belies his young years.<br />He is good news for snooker, very good news.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-22735523631303363132013-04-17T08:33:11.573+01:002013-04-17T08:33:11.573+01:00I never thought he could win it to be honest, but ...I never thought he could win it to be honest, but his UK and Masters wins this season have changed my mind. By keeping it very tight he reduces the chances his opponents gets, but it also reduces the chances he takes. It has served him well against lower ranked players, but it has been less effective at the business end of tournaments, where the top class players don't actually need that many chances to win matches anyway. Personally I think he's looking at a semi-final exit to Robertson, but you can't discount someone who has won two major tounaments this season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
