I admire your optimism!

It isn't optimism, much as I admire O'Sullivan's ability I can't really take to him. In the 1992 final Jimmy White led Steven Hendry 14 - 10, then lost ten frames on the trot to see Hendry take the crown 18 - 14.

I think the optimism was in entertaining the possibility of a comeback.
Zhao has had one very minor lapse so Ronnie will be fairly lucky to get 2 or more frames.

Trump v Williams - almost rerun of Higgins v Williams.

Ronnie out.

No surprise with the deficit he had to overcome and Zhao did well not to crumble when he lost the first two frames this evening.

They're still slugging it out!

Will Williams or Trump have anything left for the final?
H
Their advantage will be experience of the final.

I reckon Williams has an OK chance in the final. He is an all rounder, more so than Trump.
Trump would have done better than OSullivan but not enough.
