After losing the first session 7-1 Williams is now level at 14-14. He's playing well and now has the momentum, he's got to be favourite from here. Trump needs to wake up and try to stop the Williams surge.

Ronnie is 15-9 up in the othe semi-final. He needs just 2 frames tonight for the win.

Trump was 12-5 down overnight but he's won this afternoons session 6-2 and now only trails 14-11.

Game on tonight as they play to a finish.

Ronnie is four frames away from equalling Stephen Hendry with seven World titles.

So Ronnie has to win 4 out of the remaining 10 frames ?

Whereas Judd has to get 7 ?

Really needed Ronnie to pick up one more from this mornings session to be comfortable.

Trump needs this more than Ronnie does. Ronnie is already the greatest player ever (Crucible, television era) even Stephen Hendry would admit that himself, I think.

Judd needs to become a multiple time World champion to truly put his name alongside the greats.

Using the figures above I’m estimating that Ronnie has a 60% chance of winning whereas Judd has a 30% chance ?!?

My top 10 of all time would be..

1 Ronnie o'sullivan
2 Stephen Hendry
3 Steve Davis
4 John Higgins (he'd probably be number 1 if he didn't play in Ronnie's era)
5 Mark Selby
6 Mark Williams
7 Alex Higgins
8 Neil Robertson
9 Jimmy White (unlucky to be in the eras of Davis and then Hendry)
10 Judd Trump (Can move up into the top 7 if he wins tonight)

I just don't like trump. It's irrational and based on the "naughty snooker" days when he was a kid - it was just too cringey. That's how sporting allegiances and rivalries work though - they're all pretty stupid when you actually think about it.

Atmosphere was electric for those walk-ons. Here to see the immortal, Ronnie o'sullivan, God with a cue.
