One tournament a player is a finalist the next they don't reach the semis. Only Robertson and Selby seem certain to reach the last stages but even they go out early sometimes.

The only shame about this particular tournament is the final is going to be a walk over. Hendry just said it.. the other semi is the final now.”

And how often do we see 2 player playing brilliantly the previous round only to next round at times the same 2 players against each other barely able to make a break in excess of 3 pots.

There are many players playing very good or brilliantly but not consistently so.

Davis will no doubt be very annoyed that Hendry said that. Mind you it won’t stop Davis tomorrow forecasting that it will be a great classic anyway.

This match must surely be in contention for the WORST quality major tournament semi final EVER...Both have been an embarrassment to the sport and whoever out of Robertson or Selby gets to the final, then it will surely be their easiest ever Final win tomorrow.

You obviously didn't see Bob Chaperon v Robert Marshall in the 1990 British Open

Rubbish!!....Wenbo has only ever made it to one ranking event final and he lost to Ronnie in that.

Liang goes 5-4 up. Been a dour struggle but it wouldn't be snooker otherwise

And what was the point of that when Matt asked you a genuine question? (and he took your answer as being genuine too!).
It's always "Big and clever" to answer peoples serious questions with a childish answer and then also have the audacity to say "honest" too!!

Calm down. The head to heads are accurate. But obviously Wenbo hasn't been in 13 finals.

Wow - I don't think I've ever seen anyone as excited at winning a match as Liang Wenbo just now.

But gutted for Grace there, ultimately easy pinks in the first and last frames costing him dear.

Very hard to take for David Grace. He would probably have preferred to lose 6-1 with his opponent playing unstoppable snooker.

As for Wenbo, I don't care what people think, I love seeing passion in the game. It's great to see how much this means to some players, it makes them believable and is also quite funny

Puts him in the Masters too at White's expense, no wonder he was leaping about! But he is getting pelters for his handshake on Twitter I see. Didn't really note the handshake personally so can't really comment

I thought perhaps it was a bit brusque & could've done with being more warm/sincere.

Would anyone else like to see Doug Mountjoy's frilly shirts make a comeback?

Apparently Stephen Lee wrote a book - has anyone here read it?

Him playing Kirk Stevens would have been more like a fashion show.

Quite happy to be corrected, but to my knowledge it never saw the light of day....

Selby needs to repeat his 0-4 comeback from their 2012 UK QF encounter. Terry Camilleri was ref that day too.

I'm not keen on the short format either. Devalues it a bit for me.

I imagine a few top players would be thinking the tournament had got the final it deserves had Grace won today.

It was more of a hand shake mixed in with a celebration jump. But as Steve just said on BBC.. the guy was clearly very emotional and it wasn't a sign of disrespect. He wasn't dissing him in any way. So not sure why other players are getting worked up about it on twitter or wherever the comments are.
