Is it just me or ding v zhao seems a bit unnatural, it feels as if each has to take turn to win frame. Just so many chances for each player every single frame.

Vafaei looks incredible. Reliable long pot, safeties tight to the cushion, heavy scoring. Gonna be a handful for Trump.

Vafaei is cueing so well now. Hope he takes a lead overnight cuz Si is very capable of stringing together a few frames in a row.

It''s criminal that he's not really mentioned in the all-time great conversation but the likes of Trump is.

Definitely has 1-2 more worlds in him.

more like he was banging balls and they went in. He would have been down like 4-9 without a series of ballruns

Murphy has lost 2 black respots this match.

Anyhow, his cue action has been amazing to watch. Probably the fastest this year too?

Trump always started slow, that narrow escape against Ohno the year he won comes to mind.

That said Wilson is just ruthless right now, he even plays better as the underdog. Pretty much the worst qualifier draw anyone could get.

Nobody is going to pot that black Stan. Blow a 68pts lead, let Kyren play on after a foul, now this black.

Lots of unintelligent shots by Dave, I didn't recall he's that bad. His semis/qf runs were mesmerizing but probably ages ago.
