John Higgins v Liang Wenbo, Liang is very raw and gets found out against the top players. He only knows one way to play which is try and attack but against a tactical genius in Higgins i cannot see him even coming close to winning. Higgins the reigning World Champion will be way too strong.

Selection is Murphy, he is cueing really well, Allen is dealing with a finger problem and Shaun is in excellent form.
O'Sullivan v Trump
Ronnie just can't get one over Judd Trump, am a big fan of Ronnie but against Trump he doesn't play well at all. Trump's long potting is frightening and O'Sullivan knows he has to be spot on. For me Trump will beat him again purely because Trump is a better long potter. Ronnie in the balls is better but its just that initial chance and Trump is playing really well again.
Maguire v Selby
Maguire is playing as well as i have seen him, Selby not so. If Maguire plays like he has then its going to be a comfortable win.
Ding v Lee
Ding beat Higgins in his last match and his confidence is through the roof, having watched the matched i saw Ding pot some of the cleanest long pots i have seen in a long time from the Chinese sensation. Overall he is a better player than Lee, his potting is great his break building is probably only second to O'Sullivan he really is a joy to watch break building. Ding wins this for me.

Sorry never liked the semi finals it was a toss up.
The final is tomorrow and i am backing Ding here, he is playing beautifull snooker, Selby struggled a lot today and can't have much confidence whereas Ding was break building well knocking long balls in.
Selby is the favourite for the match but thats because of the rankings system.
Ding is the better player.
My money is on Ding Junhui to win i've got 150 on him to win to win 180.
Ding is gonna win this.
