Si will go furthest from that quarter. I think it’ll either be Trump or Zhao Xintong though. We maybe see our first Chinese winner? 

Wouldn’t rule out a Chinese finalist, one of them winning it though, still don’t see it happening just yet. 
 

Surely one of Ronnie, Higgins, Trump or Murphy will prove too strong and end up lifting the trophy.

Zhao has a uk championship and his other ranking final he won 9-0, if he’s in form he can certainly win the whole thing. It’ll be interesting to see what happens, it’s opening up nicely for Ronnie but I still think Si can beat him.

Beating Brecel and Bingtao in a final though, compared to potentially Higgins, Trump or Murphy, umm, I’m just not sure mate. 
 

The way Wakelin is looking, it might be him from the top half

Mark Allen getting battered and then knocks in a 147

[NAKC20]

147 from Mark Allen but still 10-3 down

[EastAnglianFox]

Snooker eh

[kingfox]

Where does that rank in terms of 147s 🤔

 

He produced some unbelievable shots in that break 👏🏻

Thought he'd ballsed it up getting onto the yellow

About 5-6 shots in that break where he could’ve easily butchered it. 
 

Top 5 147 worthy perhaps 🤔

[Nalis]

Could be one of the biggest losing margins while getting a 147

Yes some consolation for the heavy defeat .

[Corky]

Tied frame in the Higgins match. He pots the black on the re-spot and the cue ball went in at the same time to lose the frame!

I was thinking about that. I couldn't think of 4 better. (And I'm including Cliff Thorburn in that - as better - just because of it being 1st televised)

Ronnie's 5 minute one is the best ever but yeah Allen's is definitely up there with the best of the rest. Only other great ones that come to mind was Selbys great 147 clearance a few years back.

[Nalis]

Anyone else bored some people on social media slating Higgins or Xintong for 'cheating' even though they've both been punished and served respective bans?

 

You wonder how these people live their everyday lives.

Nothing will beat Ronnie’s 5 minute one, Murphy at the Shoot Out is firmly second on my list. 
 

Then you have a few classics, just because of the occasions, but in terms of difficulty, I’d probably put Allen’s 4th or 5th on my list.

Have you ever noticed how angry people are on this forum?

O'Sullivan just different gravy with some of this play

[kingfox]

Luca has just produced one of the greatest sessions of Snooker seen at the Crucible, absolutely unreal 🔥👏🏻

Was superb wasn't it, didn't see that coming at all.

 

Wonder if Brecel's career will be low key Ronnie's in the sense of picking and choosing certain events he feels ups for

Jaw dropping stuff mate, I clapped him off from my living room  

 

He does things in a unique way, but he showed tonight why he needs to be at the top of the game, the type of Snooker that will attract new viewers, especially the younger generation. 

[Izzy]

Ronnie can be such a nob sometimes but we'll miss him when he's gone.

 

He makes a difficult game look ridiculously easy. Back to back centuries just now absolutely effortless.

 

What a joy to watch.

[Bordersfox]

Bit of a messy first frame of the session but Woollaston must be relieved he won that.
