I haven't seen any of the match against Bingham but I saw some of the games against Campbell and Carter and Ronnie looked good, not showing any signs of rust. People have commented his long potting has been a bit off but that side of his game deserted him years ago. Everything else seems spot on. He's played as well as anyone in the tournament and with the time off he's had, he looks fresh.
The mid-session intervals aren't taken at the same time on each table, it's just whenever that match has had 4 frames played, so often play will still be continuing on one table while the other has reached its interval. Once we get to the semi-finals, we'll be down to one table.
Anyone still in the tournament will be playing every day for the rest of the event.
Quarter-finals: Ronnie O'Sullivan 12-4 Stuart Bingham Shaun Murphy 12-13 Judd Trump Ricky Walden 10-6 Michael White Ding Junhui 7-13 Barry Hawkins
Semi-finals: O'Sullivan/Bingham v Judd Trump Walden/White v Barry Hawkins

It's first to 17 in the semi-finals. Yes, the semis last for 3 days because of the single table setup.
Walden's win over Michael White (no relation to Jimmy) means all 4 semi-finalists are English. It's the first time since 1991 that the last 4 have all been the same nationality (in '91 it was John Parrott, Jimmy White, Steve Davis and Steve James).

A high standard of snooker in the Ronnie v Trump semi-final so far. Ronnie with the upper hand.
Walden v Hawkins has been awful. Hawkins isn't a bad player but he hasn't adapted to the one-table set up at all. Walden should've been out of sight by now.

Oh dear Michala, that wasn't an obscene gesture.

I'm looking at being a snooker referee, it's quite simple and relatively inexpensive. I would love to referee a World Championship final at the Crucible!

Trump v Rocket should have been the final! I thought that too. I'm glad that being from Kent Hawkins has made it to the final (though with the results he's had i would have been disappointed if he hadn't done; I don't think he would have had a better chance of reaching a World Championship final) but I think the final will be a mismatch. I'd be surprised if it lasts beyond the mid-session interval in the final session, and it may not even last that long, though it being over with a session to spare is probably going too far. Incidentally, Paddy or Panda I can't remember how many frames are played in the final session. I thought it was 11 but didn't they change it recently to prevent late finishes?

I think they play 9 frames in either the first or second session now to reduce the maximum number in the final session to 10. Really, an earlier finish on the final evening would make more sense...
I can't see a late finish being a problem in this final. Hawkins will do well to get double figures.

Snooker Bingo anyone? Here's my card: "That was just tension" "It's there!" "The knowledgeable Crucible crowd" "All about fractions" Camera on CJ from Eggheads "Coach Terry Griffiths" Any mention of betting odds "This is a key frame" "Why billiards never took off" "Heart of the pocket" "Looking at a double?" "Where's the cueball going?"

Great final so far. Hawkins playing really well. Ronnie missing more than he has done in the earlier rounds. Would love to see it go down to the wire.

It was a great final. Much better than I was expecting. Ronnie was head and shoulders above everyone else for the whole tournament and Hawkins was the only man who got near him.
Ronnie says he just wants to play the smaller PTC events but I wouldn't be surprised if we saw him make the odd appearance in the televised tournaments as well. The new Champion of Champions event in Coventry that was announced last week could appeal to him.

O'Sullivan was clearly the best player over the course of the tournament which makes him a worthy winner. I still found the way the BBC commentators kept salivating over him embarrassing though. OK so he has been out of the game for a year. However, it's not as if he has been injured and unable to play. He's been able to spend his time practising as much as he likes. That's not the same as tournament play but it works both ways. While the rest of the players were traipsing round the world and, no doubt, suffering frequent jet lag just to remain on the tour, O'Sullivan simply had to wander into his own snooker room. So, while he hadn't experienced the pressure of a tournament for nearly a year, he was arguably fresher than anyone else.
