If Roberson wins this year's final, he will become the first player, since Paul Hunter, in 2002, to successfully defend this Masters title.JAMIE O'REILLYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-48633452451875826612013-01-20T19:29:49.515+00:002013-01-20T19:29:49.515+00:00Hi David.

Selby wins it, to lead 1-0.<br /><br />Frame 2 - A well construted 73 break from Selby. Potting nine blue's in it. He wins it, to lead 2-0.<br /><br />Frame 3 - Robertson is in. He makes a mistake. Selby takes the frame. with a 102 break, his first century, and highest break of the week, Selby leads, 3-0.<br /><br />Frame 4 - Robertson makes a 78 break, to win it. Selby leads, 3-1, at the mid-session interval.<br /><br />Frame 5 - Selby was the boss. He won it, to lead, 4-1.<br /><br />Frame 6 - Selby won this after Robertson had chances. Selby leads, 5-1.<br /><br />Frame 7 - Robertson wins it, with good play. Selby is 5-2 up.<br /><br />Frame 8. Robertson wins it, with a 72 break. Selby leads, 5-3, going into tonight's final session. I can not wait. It should be a great one.<br /><br />If Selby wins and the mach ends before midnight, it will be five years to the day, since he won his first one.<br /><br />He did so, beating Stephen Lee, 10-3, in the 2008 final, on 20-1-2008. Today, prior to midnight, it is 20-1-2013.<br /><br />PREDICTION: I do not expect anybody yo win easily. I predict, it will be tight. The first to get 10 frames won, will definately win it.JAMIE O'REILLYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-47119482206086259542013-01-20T17:44:30.169+00:002013-01-20T17:44:30.169+00:00The crowd only have the BBC commentary.

Or is it the just the BBC?<br /><br />Secondly, haven't heard from Mike Smith since before Christmas - is he still working for EuroSport?<br /><br />RyanRyannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-16456768968913918222013-01-20T17:13:10.359+00:002013-01-20T17:13:10.359+00:00It WAS a fantastic week until yesterday (Saturday)...It WAS a fantastic week until yesterday (Saturday)<br /><br />At least normal service has been restored this afternoon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-27753081171725947502013-01-20T16:44:14.402+00:002013-01-20T16:44:14.402+00:00One of the amusing images from this year's Mas...One of the amusing images from this year's Masters Final is that of some of the audience wearing short sleeve shirts.<br /><br />It's sub-zero outside!
