Remember he pulled out of two tournaments preceding the worlds citing 'personal reasons'. He's seemed very stressed out throughout the tournament, much more demonstrative than usual. So if he makes the final when in my opinion mentally he's not 100%, then that's a phenomenal achievement.
Selby has certainly had the worst of the luck in this match! He does seem more on edge than I've seen him before. It's good to see some sort of evidence that he's human, unlike some players!

Oh I didn't realise that. Fair enough. We give Ronnie the benefit of consideration in that scenario so I'll do the same with Mark.

Whilst it initially sounded like a mistake what he meant was it didn't matter that the white went in off because that put the white back up at the other end of the table and effectively snookered Marco... rather than leaving the white near the reds.

It'll be time for TC's once a year ( although it's been more this year ) post that statistically it hasn't made a difference and it hasn't spoilt the final
