0:00:36 > 0:00:42Hello and welcome to snooker extra, extended highlights of the 2018
0:00:42 > 0:00:49Dafabet Masters, a battle between two
0:00:49 > 0:00:53two young snooker superstars. A battle between Judd Trump and Kyren
0:00:53 > 0:01:00Wilson.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Second frame, Kyren Wilson to break.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24This time, the break of shot has put a red next to the black, out of
0:01:24 > 0:01:33commission.
0:01:33 > 0:01:41APPLAUSE
0:02:15 > 0:02:19Didn't want to collide with the yellow, but he will be hoping that
0:02:19 > 0:02:25doesn't cost him.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45I think what Judd is doing these days is he is playing the
0:02:45 > 0:02:53percentages. That is always the best way.
0:02:53 > 0:03:01APPLAUSE
0:03:02 > 0:03:10Excellent pot and a great safety shot as well.He is not on a baulk
0:03:10 > 0:03:20colour, so...Judd Trump, one.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22colour, so...Judd Trump, one.It's more like hard match play from Judd
0:03:22 > 0:03:27Trump. Perhaps in his day he would have gone for one of those long reds
0:03:27 > 0:03:32and careered it in, but great to watch how a player develops as they
0:03:32 > 0:03:37stay in the game. And if he gets success with it, as he's quite
0:03:37 > 0:03:44rightly doing at the moment, why not?Well, I'll tell you what, he's
0:03:44 > 0:03:48put Kyren in all sorts of trouble here because there is no red near a
0:03:48 > 0:03:54cushion that he can come off the cushion and land on. He would love
0:03:54 > 0:03:59to land on, the two near their black spot, he would like to land by the
0:03:59 > 0:04:07left one. Watch how many cushions he has got to hit to get there. One,
0:04:07 > 0:04:14two, three, four conditions and not quite hard enough. But this is hard.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Yes, the cushion is playing slower and also with new cloth, they also
0:04:18 > 0:04:24slide a bit more as they come off the cushion. So it is debatable
0:04:24 > 0:04:30whether these angles are on. They may have been yesterday. But now
0:04:30 > 0:04:33with the slide of the third cushion that he inevitably will get, the
0:04:33 > 0:04:47line might not be there.That's the line's he's looking for... It is
0:04:47 > 0:04:52just sliding off that third cushion. That shot is not on, I don't think.
0:04:52 > 0:05:01In hitting it harder, it won't make much difference. Inevitably, going
0:05:01 > 0:05:14down that line, he may leave a red for Judd. That is better, about the
0:05:14 > 0:05:22best he could do, but he hasn't got the pace.Well, he will do well to
0:05:22 > 0:05:25find that line again because he was so close to the green and he almost
0:05:25 > 0:05:31caught the red on the left side of the table.Strangely, if he were to
0:05:31 > 0:05:35flick that read on the left side of the table, he might get away with
0:05:35 > 0:05:47it. This time, he does clip that read.-- he does clip that red. And
0:05:47 > 0:05:56it's not bad at all. There is one possible pot to the right middle
0:05:56 > 0:06:00pocket, but it's very, very difficult. He did well to get out of
0:06:00 > 0:06:06that situation, although it was his fourth attempt. It's amazing how all
0:06:06 > 0:06:09of a sudden from being in all sorts of trouble, he's at the table with a
0:06:09 > 0:06:23chance.Yes, he left Judd immiscible pot. -- a missable pot.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Tough to get that cue bought out into open play.
0:06:43 > 0:06:50Oh, he got the black out. What a shot that is.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57shot that is. Didn't think that was possible, to get enough back spin on
0:06:57 > 0:07:01and click the black out. What a bonus.
0:07:19 > 0:07:34The ready-mac by the Fluck spot -- the red by the black spot, it will
0:07:34 > 0:07:38be interesting to see how it clears. I think the ready-mac will interfere
0:07:38 > 0:07:52with the black and it might not even go on to its spot.
0:08:05 > 0:08:14No, I don't think so. It can't be touching the red if it's re-spotted.
0:08:14 > 0:08:20Oh, don't tell me it goes on the pink? No, it certainly doesn't go on
0:08:20 > 0:08:27the pink. OK, so it's not the end of the world. But at some stage, he'd
0:08:27 > 0:08:37like that read of -- that red of the black spot and the black back where
0:08:37 > 0:08:48it belongs. That's the plan.
0:09:27 > 0:09:34He hasn't got used to the speeds of the cushions yet.
0:09:48 > 0:09:56APPLAUSE
0:09:56 > 0:10:03He's having to work hard for these. He hasn't got himself into prime
0:10:03 > 0:10:06position just yet. Can he manage it this time?
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Just overscrewed that one slightly as well.It's fascinating here from
0:10:20 > 0:10:25the commentary box how you see the game positionally. If he'd have
0:10:25 > 0:10:30tried to get on the red by the black spot on the opening blue, none of
0:10:30 > 0:10:36these problems he's now got would possibly have materialised. But he
0:10:36 > 0:10:46is still fighting, keeping position.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55On that red this time but not ideally.
0:11:03 > 0:11:12Oh, this is a good shot. Once again.
0:11:12 > 0:11:18Just another six inches or so and he'd have been perfect on the black
0:11:18 > 0:11:23to get up to the reds. He might still be able to do it. He's got, as
0:11:23 > 0:11:29we keep saying, terrific key power. He will get a short extension
0:11:29 > 0:11:34they're just so he can reach this. -- terrific cue power. There is an
0:11:34 > 0:11:42awful lot of cue between his keen hand and the object ball here. Look
0:11:42 > 0:11:50at him striking that. ECB white stop and then spin back. In fact, he has
0:11:50 > 0:11:56hit it too well. He hardly hit this but the action he got on it...Yes,
0:11:56 > 0:12:01putting that extra bit on the cue, effectively making it heavier. You
0:12:01 > 0:12:07get a bit more spin on the ball, if you are not careful. So, end of
0:12:07 > 0:12:15break and a frustrating break from Kyren Wilson's perspective.
0:12:29 > 0:12:34Kyren Wilson, 38. APPLAUSE
0:12:38 > 0:12:54Poor safety.He'd love to knock this one in, Judd, and punish him.
0:13:36 > 0:13:43He's brought the read up this time. He needs the brown to help him out
0:13:43 > 0:13:51and I don't think it will. I think Judd can get to this. This is a huge
0:13:51 > 0:13:57day for Kyren Wilson. Semifinal of the Masters. OK, he won a ranking
0:13:57 > 0:14:02event a couple of seasons ago but this is probably one of the biggest
0:14:02 > 0:14:05matches of his career and you can expect a little bit of tension
0:14:05 > 0:14:10creeping in.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35Judd was pretty clinical in his last match, mopping up different
0:14:35 > 0:14:46situations. Once again, underhit here.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Just the right side of the blue and an excellent shop there. That really
0:14:49 > 0:14:59was good. Not only got that, got the cue ball away from the kitchen. I
0:14:59 > 0:15:07think he's looking in pretty good nick, Judd Trump. He looks very
0:15:07 > 0:15:18clinical in these positions at the moment to me.
0:15:58 > 0:16:09And that had to be controlled well. It's run a little bit far. Oh!
0:16:09 > 0:16:14It's run a little bit far. Oh! A confident strike but he didn't get
0:16:14 > 0:16:25enough screw back on that shot. It died off the cushion, so tough now.
0:16:25 > 0:16:36-- so a tough pot now. Oh, well done.
0:16:36 > 0:16:42done.And a nice little flick to beat.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04Well, early days, but could this be the new Judd Trump? A more
0:17:04 > 0:17:10considered player but still lethal amongst the balls at the end of a
0:17:10 > 0:17:24frame. Oh, a kick. Awful. Awful. Well, that's amazing.Outrageous.
0:17:24 > 0:17:35How crucial is that kick going to be? That yellow's awkward and the
0:17:35 > 0:17:41red with the rest is not a gimme. To start things off with. But for
0:17:41 > 0:17:50Kyren, this is a bonus, being at the table.
0:17:50 > 0:17:56table. He's got their like Shaun Murphy with using the rest. He's
0:17:56 > 0:18:04very, very good with the rest. It's key he gets back up to the yellow
0:18:04 > 0:18:10but wherever he finishes, he's going to have a difficult yellow.He is
0:18:10 > 0:18:16guaranteed to be on the yellow, it's just how. Two cushions nailed on,
0:18:16 > 0:18:24but he wants to be as close as possible with an angle.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26possible with an angle.Doesn't want to be straight and he's got a bit of
0:18:26 > 0:18:38an angle. But, a key pot coming up here.It's the worst type of angle.
0:18:38 > 0:18:53The other side would have been nice. APPLAUSE
0:18:53 > 0:19:01Well, every chance now of pinching this second frame.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04this second frame. As I mentioned, Kyren would have been in his seat
0:19:04 > 0:19:10thinking, I'm 2-0 behind and then suddenly Judd gets that horrendous
0:19:10 > 0:19:16kick on the pink.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21kick on the pink. Just blue and pink needed and that's absolutely
0:19:21 > 0:19:25perfect.
0:19:27 > 0:19:33And we always say you never settle down until you get your first frame
0:19:33 > 0:19:44on the board. Judd was very, very unfortunate there.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47unfortunate there. But Kyren Wilson took that opportunity. Very own
0:19:47 > 0:19:51lucky to get the kick on the pink but he's got his first frame on the
0:19:51 > 0:19:58board and we are all square at one frame each.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16Tough to pot that and get on the black, assuming he was playing the
0:21:16 > 0:21:23pot. That's a nice safety shot from Judd Trump.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Judd Trump. Cut of the escape path down the right-hand side of the
0:21:26 > 0:21:36table and left Kyren with a tricky safety shot back. He's got to catch
0:21:36 > 0:21:40this outside red pretty thin to avoid wobbling in the jaws of the
0:21:40 > 0:21:45top left corner pocket.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48top left corner pocket. Can just dump the cue ball onto the top
0:21:48 > 0:21:52question and looks like that's probably the right shot, containing
0:21:52 > 0:21:57safety.
0:22:29 > 0:22:43What a great shot this is. I think Kyren played the safety shot the
0:22:43 > 0:22:48wrong way. He should have played across the face of the red and he
0:22:48 > 0:22:51wouldn't have left that one on, but I don't suppose he even thought
0:22:51 > 0:22:57about the red into the middle pocket.
0:22:59 > 0:23:05pocket. He is playing great match snicker at the moment, Judd. We go
0:23:05 > 0:23:13on about it, but I'm very impressed. -- great match snicker.
0:23:21 > 0:23:27That's a shocker from Judd. Tudor cross-bat one. Ill go back to his
0:23:27 > 0:23:39seat and he will not be very pleased as we show that again. -- cued
0:23:39 > 0:23:49across that one. Judd will go back to his seat and he will not be very
0:23:49 > 0:23:56pleased as we show that again.He doesn't seem to get as well online
0:23:56 > 0:24:04as well he is punching them there. This is tough. Bridging over that
0:24:04 > 0:24:07red is making this shot a lot harder.
0:24:14 > 0:24:21Well, terrific cueing from that awkward
0:24:21 > 0:24:24awkward position and a positioning shot as well.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35Lots of side to swing the white up towards that red and he's played it
0:24:35 > 0:24:38pretty well.
0:24:58 > 0:25:04He wanted slightly more angle on the red and he could have cannoned into
0:25:04 > 0:25:10their pack. You might still be able to do it. Yes, he was. That
0:25:10 > 0:25:18developed another... Well, definitely one more red.This would
0:25:18 > 0:25:23be nice for Kyren Wilson, to make a telling break here, punish Judd for
0:25:23 > 0:25:26the mistake. Make a statement.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35He just couldn't open those reds up as nicely from that straight on
0:25:35 > 0:25:41position. Got a bit more movement of the pack, so still some work to do
0:25:41 > 0:25:45in that department.
0:25:53 > 0:25:59If he got the correct angle, the blue wouldn't be a bad one to go
0:25:59 > 0:26:05into the pack from, but I don't think he's got it here.
0:26:12 > 0:26:22Yes, it's time for Kyren to go to work, because his highest break so
0:26:22 > 0:26:30far has been 38. And he's just hit that harder than he wanted. He
0:26:30 > 0:26:34should have been better on this red for the right middle pocket.He
0:26:34 > 0:26:40could have played for the red on the left-hand side cushion first there
0:26:40 > 0:26:45but chose this shot. Well out of position, isn't he, Dennis?That's a
0:26:45 > 0:26:51great recovery.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55great recovery. Now, one good shot, as we show you this terrific pot
0:26:55 > 0:26:59from that angle, one good cannon here and he can really open the
0:26:59 > 0:27:08game.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15He played that almost perfectly, other than overheating at a fraction
0:27:15 > 0:27:20will stop but that was understandable. -- overheating at a
0:27:20 > 0:27:25fraction.
0:27:25 > 0:27:36Just cleared the cue ball from the red Pivac. -- reds. Nicely played. A
0:27:36 > 0:27:42greater chance now. You get the feeling he must convert. He has to
0:27:42 > 0:27:48start stamping his authority on this match.
0:28:19 > 0:28:24If he can win this frame, Judd will have something to think about after
0:28:24 > 0:28:31missing a centre of a red into the left corner.
0:28:32 > 0:28:43left corner. -- after missing a certain red. This was the one here.
0:28:43 > 0:28:48He screwed the back just a little further than he intended. He still
0:28:48 > 0:28:57got an angle. It means he has to hit it harder.
0:29:03 > 0:29:13He played well. -- he played it well. Tantalisingly close to the
0:29:13 > 0:29:19finishing line in this frame. A couple of reds and he is over the
0:29:19 > 0:29:24line.
0:29:36 > 0:29:48Just hoping for a good split here.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53Lost the cue ball.
0:30:01 > 0:30:08Well, this is a key pot coming up. It is a very difficult one. He just
0:30:08 > 0:30:17needs the red to be -- to leave Judd needing a snooker.
0:30:26 > 0:30:39Terrific cueing! You can't hit the ball any better than that from up
0:30:39 > 0:30:45the cushion. We would call that a John Parrott special. He was one of
0:30:45 > 0:30:53the best in the business on the cushion.
0:31:00 > 0:31:05He will be feeling much better now my Kyren. This is more like it.
0:31:05 > 0:31:11Winning the frame with one visit.
0:31:18 > 0:31:26A wee bit unlucky. It just means it will be very difficult to make the
0:31:26 > 0:31:33century unless he can cut this one into the right corner. He will not
0:31:33 > 0:31:39be too concerned about that.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43be too concerned about that. Kyren Wilson did what he had to do and won
0:31:43 > 0:31:48the framework one visit with that break of 81. He is just one behind
0:31:48 > 0:31:55now.
0:32:15 > 0:32:24Not a break -- not a great break-off shot by Kyren.
0:32:26 > 0:32:31shot by Kyren. It is an amazing game, isn't it? He missed a certain
0:32:31 > 0:32:35red in the previous game and then gets down and knocks that in as if
0:32:35 > 0:32:41it was over the pocket.He floated that one in. Nothing wrong with
0:32:41 > 0:32:46judging the cue action on that shot.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18A nice way to get the confidence up again after missing a
0:33:18 > 0:33:31straightforward shot would be to get a big break year. -- here. It is one
0:33:31 > 0:33:35of the great attributes all the top players have, resilience, great
0:33:35 > 0:33:41temperament.
0:34:02 > 0:34:07A little bit short of pace for ideal position on the blue to go into the
0:34:07 > 0:34:16pack at speed. He would have to really annihilate this. It was
0:34:16 > 0:34:26harder than to get an ideal contact on that pack.
0:34:28 > 0:34:43on that pack. It looks like the end of break. There is a red that goes.
0:34:43 > 0:34:56He played it with safety in mind, as you can see.
0:35:15 > 0:35:27Good safety needed here. Judd might well be is playing the same shot but
0:35:27 > 0:35:35this red will go to the right corner area. A good cue ball once again.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Played a different shot. He was a bit unlucky to get that read coming
0:35:38 > 0:35:47over there. -- red. It was nothing he could have foreseen.Well, it is
0:35:47 > 0:35:52all about the cue ball, this. He is pretty good of this type of pot. He
0:35:52 > 0:35:59is a long way. You would think he would be guaranteed to be on a
0:35:59 > 0:36:07colour. But looking at the red first.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16first. He is on a colour and he has not a red over the pocket. He will
0:36:16 > 0:36:23settle for this.Yes, you will have to settle for that, although the
0:36:23 > 0:36:31black might go through past red.
0:36:31 > 0:36:40black might go through past red. -- past the red. If it does, he could
0:36:40 > 0:36:47very quickly get the black back on its spot. He has refused to play red
0:36:47 > 0:36:57and blue here.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03Is he would like to have been a bit closer to the black than this body
0:37:03 > 0:37:17didn't really have the angle. So this isn't 100% certain.
0:37:22 > 0:37:32I think here -- it is three he has missed with the rest.
0:37:32 > 0:37:38missed with the rest. I'm surprised he has missed that many. The initial
0:37:38 > 0:37:43green wasn't very good, to be honest. He could have got closer do
0:37:43 > 0:37:51things. Excellent shot from Judd Trump.
0:37:51 > 0:37:57Trump. So the mind games start. Can Judd punish Kyren for a mistake?
0:37:57 > 0:38:03Relatively simple at this level.
0:38:29 > 0:38:36Never in doubt. I'm not too sure he can get that side of the table from
0:38:36 > 0:38:46this shot. He could risk going into the pack. Players wouldn't like to
0:38:46 > 0:38:51do that, gambling on the outcome. He can get past the pink, so that is
0:38:51 > 0:38:57OK.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41This is Judd's Aids appearance at the Masters. He has had two
0:39:41 > 0:39:45semifinals. -- a appearance.
0:40:07 > 0:40:15I can't see what happened in the previous frame happen here.
0:40:21 > 0:40:27You could see when he pushed the cue through, he got across it a little
0:40:27 > 0:40:31bit. But that is the way he has always played. He is a natural
0:40:31 > 0:40:38talent, Judd.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43talent, Judd.It would be nigh on impossible for Judd Trump now to go
0:40:43 > 0:40:53back to basics and rectify that.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55back to basics and rectify that. It makes a mockery of the technique
0:40:55 > 0:41:03book, doesn't it? A bit out of position on this one. But over the
0:41:03 > 0:41:09line and a good response from Judd Trump.
0:41:11 > 0:41:24Trump. Effortlessly really has put this frame to bed.
0:41:26 > 0:41:31this frame to bed. I must admit, I get the feeling that whilst of
0:41:31 > 0:41:34course every player comes here hoping to win the event, Judd Trump
0:41:34 > 0:41:45has come here looking to win this Masters, not hoping.
0:42:01 > 0:42:11He had his chance there.
0:42:14 > 0:42:21We have had 24 centuries in this year's Masters.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26year's Masters. Judd has had two centuries already. This will be his
0:42:26 > 0:42:31third.
0:42:31 > 0:42:40third. He has made 504 centuries in his career. He made 70 centuries
0:42:40 > 0:42:47last season. Already on 45 this season. One of the game's greatest
0:42:47 > 0:42:52break-builders here.
0:43:00 > 0:43:05Just a wee bit short on the pink. Will he play some naughty snooker to
0:43:05 > 0:43:10get on the black? Of course he will. All the way around. He needs to hit
0:43:10 > 0:43:15that a bit harder.
0:43:18 > 0:43:27that a bit harder. Get in black. It might go on the other... Oh well.
0:43:27 > 0:43:35Another century break. Kyren made one mistake and Judd made that break
0:43:35 > 0:43:45of 96. He now leads by two frames. 4-2.
0:44:01 > 0:44:05This time he has made a good break option. He hasn't left the one for
0:44:05 > 0:44:13the left corner.
0:44:13 > 0:44:23the left corner.Yeah, he is putting a bit more pace into the break off.
0:44:23 > 0:44:30Very rarely do you put your opponent under pressure from the break off.
0:44:30 > 0:44:37But this is tough for Kyren.
0:44:37 > 0:44:45But this is tough for Kyren. He has to be pleased with that.
0:44:45 > 0:44:49to be pleased with that.Judd just tapping the table because Kyren have
0:44:49 > 0:44:54to play that with some side to swerve it.Judd has got the same
0:44:54 > 0:45:01type of shot should he so wished.
0:45:01 > 0:45:11type of shot should he so wished. -- wish. He caught it a bit thicker.
0:45:11 > 0:45:16wish. He caught it a bit thicker. On first glance may be an even bigger
0:45:16 > 0:45:23problem for Kyren from this shot. How on earth can he get back down
0:45:23 > 0:45:28the table?
0:45:29 > 0:45:34the table? I can't see a path.He may have to come off a couple of
0:45:34 > 0:45:43cushions. He could come off B-side cushion.
0:45:43 > 0:45:47cushion. -- B-side cushion. He is giving it some thought. What has he
0:45:47 > 0:45:56decided?I think two cautions to hit the red by the black spot will
0:45:56 > 0:46:00probably be OK.
0:46:01 > 0:46:12probably be OK. -- cushion. Let's see what re-spotted. -- what has he
0:46:12 > 0:46:17spotted? He could drop on its dead weight. Make sure it doesn't roll
0:46:17 > 0:46:26off. It has a fraction. I thought for a minute he had left a red and
0:46:26 > 0:46:33underhit it.
0:46:34 > 0:46:41Now that Judd knows what Kyren is going to play,
0:46:41 > 0:46:45going to play, he probably expect him to get it right this time. The
0:46:45 > 0:46:48ball might have rolled off a fraction. But then could be on a
0:46:48 > 0:46:59finger mark.He has got to be absolutely spot on with it.He was
0:46:59 > 0:47:04more or less playing full ball onto the red to the left of the pink. I'm
0:47:04 > 0:47:11not sure that white is exactly the same position.
0:47:12 > 0:47:18same position.We have got a top referee.
0:47:20 > 0:47:25referee. He will play the same shot again. He could hit it a bit harder
0:47:25 > 0:47:32and he would still be OK.
0:47:32 > 0:47:43and he would still be OK.Let's see if Kyren can play the role again. --
0:47:43 > 0:47:53the roll up again successfully. What is he looking at here? Not a 3-ball
0:47:53 > 0:48:00plant, surely? That is a route to madness, isn't it?
0:48:05 > 0:48:10madness, isn't it?If he played the same shot...Then you get another
0:48:10 > 0:48:14goal added. It looks like he is playing a different shot. Not a
0:48:14 > 0:48:273-ball plant, surely not?Attention all pockets. He is taking this on.
0:48:59 > 0:49:12He should have definitely played the same shot again. Why take that on?
0:49:15 > 0:49:20Even though there was a disturbance to Kyren macro concentration, it was
0:49:20 > 0:49:27more the decision to take the plant on which was questionable. I just
0:49:27 > 0:49:33didn't think it was the correct shot.
0:49:33 > 0:49:40shot. The plant is either guaranteed to be on or not.
0:49:42 > 0:49:50to be on or not. A great chance for Judd Trump to put the boot in. OK,
0:49:50 > 0:49:58the black spot is tied up a bit.
0:50:53 > 0:51:00Judd Trump clinically going about his work here.
0:51:04 > 0:51:11his work here. He has got a few problems to solve later on.
0:51:18 > 0:51:24He got a big bounce off the cushion there. He is still OK. Every chance
0:51:24 > 0:51:29to go into a 5-2 lead. Kyren Wilson would have to win all remaining
0:51:29 > 0:51:39frames. He has led the white slip further away. -- left. No problem
0:51:39 > 0:51:48with the pot. It just means a little bit more to do with the cue ball.
0:52:16 > 0:52:24Well, out of position and not as easy as it looks on our TV screen. A
0:52:24 > 0:52:33tough shot, this. Made to
0:52:34 > 0:52:43tough shot, this. Made to look a lot easier than it was across the table.
0:53:01 > 0:53:11What a shot he has played there.It was all a bit congested there. He
0:53:11 > 0:53:15picked a nice one out. He has got choices. The gambling -- bring the
0:53:15 > 0:53:21black into play. He can play for the pink. He had options. With a 52
0:53:21 > 0:53:29point that advantage he didn't want to be risking that cannon.
0:53:37 > 0:53:43He has suddenly moved up a gear, Judd Trump. He did that against
0:53:43 > 0:53:51Shaun Murphy, finished that match in fine style.
0:53:51 > 0:53:56I really do think Kyren should have had one more go rolling up to the
0:53:56 > 0:54:05red before he played the plant. OK, he is guaranteed to have won the
0:54:05 > 0:54:14frame, Judd.
0:54:14 > 0:54:18frame, Judd.Just had a quick glance at the scoreboard. One more red and
0:54:18 > 0:54:27colour would be enough.
0:54:27 > 0:54:30colour would be enough. He has left himself with a tricky thing. But
0:54:30 > 0:54:39once again, just glancing at the scoreboard. 66 in front. Still a
0:54:39 > 0:54:45possible 67 on the table.
0:54:51 > 0:54:56And that is the frame.
0:55:23 > 0:55:32He has run out of position but it doesn't really matter at this stage.
0:55:32 > 0:55:42Balls all over the table. But that doesn't matter. He got an unexpected
0:55:42 > 0:55:49chance. That break of 69 extends Judd Trump's lead. He only needs one
0:55:49 > 0:55:55more frame to get into the final.
0:56:03 > 0:56:10Kyren gets the eighth frame on the way. He has got to win four in a
0:56:10 > 0:56:17row. A very tall order.
0:56:53 > 0:56:58Always a nice trap, using one of the side baulk colours and the blue,
0:56:58 > 0:57:04cutting off one of the escape lines.
0:57:16 > 0:57:23File under miss. Judd Trump, four.
0:57:23 > 0:57:27Well, Judd might come to the table because as a left-hander, he can
0:57:27 > 0:57:36come to the table and is done that into the top left. That looks... Oh,
0:57:36 > 0:57:49no, it's just going to the right. It was sort of a free shot.
0:57:57 > 0:58:05He has left Kyren something to tempt him into the left pocket. It would
0:58:05 > 0:58:14be a good shot to pot this and get onto baulk colour.
0:58:30 > 0:58:42There are no guarantees that Judd will play for the pot.
0:58:50 > 0:58:57Kyren had another look earlier at a plant from the side cushion. Now he
0:58:57 > 0:59:03has
0:59:03 > 0:59:06has spotted three-ball plant, fourball plant? There is a fourball
0:59:06 > 0:59:10line-up but it's never going to go in? Perhaps he is checking from the
0:59:10 > 0:59:20safety perspective, but it's not a tough safety shot he has got.Yes,
0:59:20 > 0:59:24the black is in an awkward spot to come down the left side of the
0:59:24 > 0:59:28table.
0:59:36 > 0:59:45That's whyhe has gone down the other side of the table but he has hit it
0:59:45 > 0:59:50far too thick.He has been lucky to get away with this. He dropped his
0:59:50 > 0:59:58head as he played the shot.
0:59:58 > 1:00:00head as he played the shot. Judd looks like he can play is done to
1:00:00 > 1:00:12the same -- play our stunt shot and get back to the same position. That
1:00:12 > 1:00:17brown is blocking the path quite nicely. Judd is playing some good
1:00:17 > 1:00:27safety here.
1:00:28 > 1:00:32Yes, he has cut off the escape route. That brown is preventing it.
1:00:32 > 1:00:38He needs to be careful here not to catch the black.
1:00:50 > 1:00:55He knows that the fourball is lined up might send one over that right
1:00:55 > 1:01:09corner pocket. He has got a couple of problems here.
1:01:09 > 1:01:14of problems here. He played that shot. He looked at it a few times
1:01:14 > 1:01:18and in the end, well, you don't see it very often, but that was a
1:01:18 > 1:01:25fourball plant you just witnessed. It didn't look like it went from
1:01:25 > 1:01:30behind the pocket. If it was that certain, he could have played it at
1:01:30 > 1:01:33an earlier stage, I suppose. Perhaps he was wary of playing another
1:01:33 > 1:01:37plant.
1:01:44 > 1:01:50Very difficult to score many, the way the colours are. The reds are
1:01:50 > 1:01:56not badly positioned, but the pink is out of commission. The black is
1:01:56 > 1:02:00way up the table. If he could get that, it would go back on its spot
1:02:00 > 1:02:09but it is far from straightforward.
1:02:19 > 1:02:23A wee bit unlucky to drop back into that position. He has got the yellow
1:02:23 > 1:02:30as an alternative.Yes, one ball less travelling and he could have
1:02:30 > 1:02:34ported the blue and tried to develop the pink.
1:02:48 > 1:02:53It would be nice to get the black on the spot from this shot. I don't
1:02:53 > 1:03:02think you can, but...
1:03:02 > 1:03:06think you can, but... By no means guaranteed the right way to go about
1:03:06 > 1:03:14things, but he can keep on playing on the blue. It is just that black
1:03:14 > 1:03:18is nicer if it is on the spot.
1:03:49 > 1:03:54Yes, it looks as if he has finished straight on the blue so he can leave
1:03:54 > 1:03:58that read to the left corner, but it means he has a little bit more work
1:03:58 > 1:04:02to do with the positional side of things here. It's all about keeping
1:04:02 > 1:04:06it as simple as possible for yourself.
1:04:19 > 1:04:23And that's what can happen when you are just running slightly out of
1:04:23 > 1:04:32position. He just lost a bit of confidence, he has lost it a bit at
1:04:32 > 1:04:38the moment, hasn't he, Kyren?Yes, he has had a tough day to day. He
1:04:38 > 1:04:43hasn't controlled the cue as much as normal and maybe has mind hasn't
1:04:43 > 1:04:54been as focused as it needs to be in such an important semifinal.
1:04:59 > 1:05:08His head's scrambled a bit. He needs to clear it but he is out there,
1:05:08 > 1:05:13unfortunately. What is he playing here? A deep long screw back. Well,
1:05:13 > 1:05:18he played it in such a way that he hoped the only ball he could leave
1:05:18 > 1:05:28was that red. He made a good fist of it, but...There is a gap to get
1:05:28 > 1:05:35round on the blue of this red here. Oh, he has caught the other red. And
1:05:35 > 1:05:41look where he has finished. He has snookered himself. He has got to be
1:05:41 > 1:05:46a bit careful with that red up the other end of the table. He was just
1:05:46 > 1:05:51a fraction away. If he had found the gap there, he would have been
1:05:51 > 1:05:58perfect on the blue.I think he can get through to the yellow of the
1:05:58 > 1:06:05side cushion and I think it would be a hard pot for Kyren into the middle
1:06:05 > 1:06:13pocket at worst. If he hits the yellow, the cue ball will naturally
1:06:13 > 1:06:18travel on further and he could easily get the snooker behind pink
1:06:18 > 1:06:21and brown.
1:06:25 > 1:06:30I think, I'm sure he can get just past the middle pocket and hit
1:06:30 > 1:06:41yellow. He could play the swerve but no real need, I don't think.
1:06:41 > 1:06:46no real need, I don't think. Perhaps the middle pocket is in the way.
1:06:46 > 1:06:53Good shot. APPLAUSE
1:07:01 > 1:07:05Kyren will want to move that read away from the middle pocket area. If
1:07:05 > 1:07:13he can get to it, it is a difficult pot.
1:07:24 > 1:07:30It's not often you see the reds all up this end of the table and the
1:07:30 > 1:07:35colours or up the other end of the table.
1:08:04 > 1:08:15Wow. Well, we will never know how that would have panned out had he
1:08:15 > 1:08:19hit it properly, but he was I allowed with the pot. If he had hit
1:08:19 > 1:08:25more of the red, he would have screwed the cue ball back into
1:08:25 > 1:08:38baulk. But why give an opponent on the ropes a chance backing? -- a
1:08:38 > 1:08:48chance back in? That looked, on the face of it, to be as crazy the shot
1:08:48 > 1:08:52as Kyren played earlier but then again, he was a long way out with
1:08:52 > 1:08:55the pot.
1:08:59 > 1:09:03You'd think that Kyren's got to take this very now by the scruff of the
1:09:03 > 1:09:10neck. Try to salvage something from the match, use it as a springboard,
1:09:10 > 1:09:17but it's not the best chance in the world.
1:09:20 > 1:09:32world. He should be able to get enough points though.
1:09:40 > 1:09:43Yes, just keep taking blues.
1:09:56 > 1:10:02He has overhit that by quite a way. Yes, going to have to take the
1:10:02 > 1:10:09yellow now. That was the last thing on his mind there.Well, position
1:10:09 > 1:10:22the league, Kyren's been quite a week today.
1:10:33 > 1:10:39While, he's got another one with the rest.He hasn't been particularly
1:10:39 > 1:10:49successful with it today, whereas normally he is. 50% at the moment.
1:10:50 > 1:10:56That's more like it.
1:10:56 > 1:11:03That's more like it. And he can get onto the blue to stun up to the reds
1:11:03 > 1:11:11that are on the black spot. He was handed a golden opportunity by Judd
1:11:11 > 1:11:14after that very difficult to read that he took on when he scattered
1:11:14 > 1:11:19all over the table.
1:11:20 > 1:11:24all over the table. Lots of reverse side on that and didn't he play that
1:11:24 > 1:11:39well? That's such a difficult job to execute.
1:11:39 > 1:11:43execute. You can see he hits it with right-hand side as it hits the
1:11:43 > 1:11:49cushion and spins away towards the blue.
1:11:59 > 1:12:03He has took these well.
1:12:08 > 1:12:17That means that Judd is up to a Snickers required stage. This one to
1:12:17 > 1:12:28make absolutely certain.
1:12:28 > 1:12:39make absolutely certain.He is not out of this match yet.
1:12:49 > 1:12:52Judd has played the percentages all the way through this match so far.
1:12:52 > 1:12:59That was the first brush one he took on and he has paid the price. -- the
1:12:59 > 1:13:03first brush one.
1:13:10 > 1:13:15APPLAUSE
1:13:24 > 1:13:37The white's close. The white's very close. That was a brilliant double.
1:13:37 > 1:13:43It doesn't matter about that. He will be more than delighted. Judd
1:13:43 > 1:13:49gave him a chance and he took it with both hands and with that break
1:13:49 > 1:13:54of 57, he keeps himself in this semifinal but he still trails by
1:13:54 > 1:13:57five frames to three.
1:14:24 > 1:14:30This is a big, big day for Kyren, second time at the Masters, a chance
1:14:30 > 1:14:35of the final. This will tell something, this shot here.
1:14:35 > 1:14:41Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant at! He needs the white to pull up though
1:14:41 > 1:14:48and it hasn't.
1:14:48 > 1:14:55and it hasn't. Well, as Judd looks on, Kyren's faced with a brown that
1:14:55 > 1:15:01is not the right angle to pot and get up the table. He is now looking
1:15:01 > 1:15:05at the yellow and all of a sudden, he must be feeling very confident if
1:15:05 > 1:15:11he is going to take this on. What a shot this is.It's an easy roll-up
1:15:11 > 1:15:17but he feels he's not going to get any advantage, so he's really going
1:15:17 > 1:15:22for the jugular here. Great shot. APPLAUSE
1:15:27 > 1:15:31Absolutely full marks for trying to make something happen here, trying
1:15:31 > 1:15:40to get Judd Trump off-balance. Look at the chance he's created for
1:15:40 > 1:15:44himself here. Worth another look at this and played it with a touch of
1:15:44 > 1:15:47side to make sure he got on the red.
1:15:52 > 1:15:575-4, then there is pressure on Judd.
1:16:03 > 1:16:09It's become a fascinating moment in this match now.
1:16:12 > 1:16:15this match now. And Kyren's sensing that there is a little bit of
1:16:15 > 1:16:23momentum swinging his way.
1:16:41 > 1:16:48Although Judd leads the head-to-head 4-2, Kyren, when he won the Shanghai
1:16:48 > 1:16:56Masters, he beat Judd Trump 10-9 in the final.Maybe he has got that on
1:16:56 > 1:17:02his mind to help him along.
1:17:21 > 1:17:28Couldn't really playback shot in any way to pot the red and open up any
1:17:28 > 1:17:32more reds. He has got to disturb the pack off of the black out. He needs
1:17:32 > 1:17:39an angle low on it. He has done that well. And stunning into the
1:17:39 > 1:17:46right-hand side as we look. Not a screw back, more of a stun shot,
1:17:46 > 1:17:57keeping the cue ball in open play. So not too low on the white ball.
1:17:57 > 1:18:00So not too low on the white ball. It is a hard shot stunning in than
1:18:00 > 1:18:09screwing in for some reason.Well, he did hit the cardinal sin. He took
1:18:09 > 1:18:15his eye off the pot but listen, as he bowed his head, if he looks back
1:18:15 > 1:18:18at the table, he hasn't left anything for Judd. He's got away
1:18:18 > 1:18:26with it. He's had a result there. And what a result he has had.
1:18:41 > 1:18:45He'd perhaps like to get this cue ball down into this corner where he
1:18:45 > 1:18:56is judging now, hide that red with the blue.He can't come to that red.
1:18:56 > 1:18:59That's why everything was safe. A bit short of pace. Has he got away
1:18:59 > 1:19:10with that? He has left a gap. Can you believe it?Well, all of seven,
1:19:10 > 1:19:18the wheels have gone a bit wobbly in Judd Trump's card. -- all of the
1:19:18 > 1:19:28sudden, the wheels have gone a bit wobbly on Judd Trump's cart. I think
1:19:28 > 1:19:33you would expect the way Kyren Wilson is approaching this game,
1:19:33 > 1:19:41he's going to knock this in. He has got nothing to lose.Oh, you can't
1:19:41 > 1:19:46believe it, they are coming down the steps, right in the line of sight as
1:19:46 > 1:19:52well.Bad timing.
1:19:57 > 1:20:01APPLAUSE
1:20:07 > 1:20:17Well, one safety in but boring -- but more importantly, perfect on the
1:20:17 > 1:20:22blue. Well, every chance now and Judd will have to do is sit there
1:20:22 > 1:20:24and ponder.
1:20:41 > 1:20:53What a match to turn around this would be for Kyren Wilson.
1:20:54 > 1:20:59One frame at a time, of course, but he is looking a lot happier and a
1:20:59 > 1:21:06lot more comfortable amongst the walls and he was earlier.
1:21:07 > 1:21:12walls and he was earlier.Well, I mentioned before the match started
1:21:12 > 1:21:16how mentally strong Kyren Wilson is and he feels he can beat anyone in
1:21:16 > 1:21:20the game. He's got a great attitude. A very modest fellow but with
1:21:20 > 1:21:26regards to snooker, he feels he can beat anyone in the game and he's
1:21:26 > 1:21:31just let that slip away just a fraction too far. That's what he
1:21:31 > 1:21:38thinks of it. He was only a couple of pots away from clinching this
1:21:38 > 1:21:42frame. This is a tricky one. He's quite close to it. A delicate little
1:21:42 > 1:21:52shocked. Well played both. APPLAUSE
1:21:52 > 1:21:56Glancing round at the scoreboard. He will need another red after the
1:21:56 > 1:21:58pink.
1:22:06 > 1:22:18That's in. Amazing game, snooker. It wasn't that long ago it looked like
1:22:18 > 1:22:22Kyren Wilson had lost the plot of it here today and all of a sudden, with
1:22:22 > 1:22:33a little bit of help from Judd Trump, he has focused again.
1:22:55 > 1:23:05There are 59 points on the table and he has got a 66 point advantage. And
1:23:05 > 1:23:13Judd stays in his seat, so Kyren Wilson is on his way back again.
1:23:13 > 1:23:20That's another frame he takes and he's only one behind an hour. 5-4,
1:23:20 > 1:23:23game on.
1:24:56 > 1:25:00Everything is safe. Judd just having a look to see if he would push a red
1:25:00 > 1:25:10over the right corner. You've always got to be aware of that.
1:25:10 > 1:25:14got to be aware of that. Well, he has pushed one toward the... He
1:25:14 > 1:25:22didn't want the white to go into the middle at that angle, that was
1:25:22 > 1:25:27amazing. And he did push a red towards the right corner, so every
1:25:27 > 1:25:34chance for Kyren.Yes, I am not sure he played that red. He played the
1:25:34 > 1:25:45one before it. It's all going Kyren Wilson's where the moment, it seems.
1:25:45 > 1:25:56-- way at the moment. APPLAUSE
1:25:56 > 1:26:01Aggressive shot from Kyren Wilson and unlucky not to get an easier
1:26:01 > 1:26:06leave than this.He would hope to be on the blue, possibly the black if
1:26:06 > 1:26:11he had got the right split from the reds.But he is in attacking made at
1:26:11 > 1:26:15the moment and I am sure he will take this green on to get back up to
1:26:15 > 1:26:21the reds. There is one there, maybe too available.
1:26:27 > 1:26:34And that's played perfectly and if it comes far enough, he can pot base
1:26:34 > 1:26:39and nudge the other red away from the blue. This is the best he has
1:26:39 > 1:26:46looked in the match, the last couple of friends. -- the last couple of
1:26:46 > 1:26:49frames.
1:26:57 > 1:27:03I think he will probably play for the red below the blue and then try
1:27:03 > 1:27:09to get a better angle on
1:27:13 > 1:27:26to get a better angle on-- on the blue.He is not nicely placed on the
1:27:26 > 1:27:40red Mac. He would have liked to go in from the left, so overscrewed
1:27:40 > 1:27:45that blew somewhat. A big shot now coming up. Kyren Wilson's prepared
1:27:45 > 1:27:53himself well.This is the line he has got. He doesn't want to hit the
1:27:53 > 1:28:07pink.Misjudged. Oh, he is on it. What a massive fluke that is. If he
1:28:07 > 1:28:14has the ability to develop these balls from that position, that is an
1:28:14 > 1:28:21enormous stroke of luck. OK, the pot is not guaranteed, but if he plays
1:28:21 > 1:28:29it with screw back, big shot.
1:28:33 > 1:28:39You could see him winding the cue up. He has missed a few with the
1:28:39 > 1:28:43rest. He has potted some terrific ones with the rest in the last
1:28:43 > 1:28:54couple of frames. Ten out of ten for that.
1:29:03 > 1:29:08He would have liked to have been slightly closer to this cushion. How
1:29:08 > 1:29:13this match has turned around. There was nothing to suggest that Kyren
1:29:13 > 1:29:21Wilson would get back in this match, the way that he was looking.
1:29:30 > 1:29:34For all of the considered snooker that Judd Trump had played onto that
1:29:34 > 1:29:43one rash shot, it is that one shot that everybody is talking about. And
1:29:43 > 1:29:48even more so should Kyren Wilson somehow win this match.
1:29:59 > 1:30:10That will do nicely. The cannon on the pink.
1:30:18 > 1:30:24He maybe got a little bit of a kick there. But he is OK. Yeah, one shot
1:30:24 > 1:30:31can turn a match on its head. We showed you a few times the one that
1:30:31 > 1:30:37Judd had a go at. It certainly has changed things. He has not had a
1:30:37 > 1:30:43chance since then.
1:30:44 > 1:30:48chance since then. What has he done here? Is it OK? I think it is. All
1:30:48 > 1:30:55of a sudden, he is getting the little nudges and the run of the
1:30:55 > 1:30:59ball. He quite deserves it, the way he has played in the last couple of
1:30:59 > 1:31:05frames.
1:31:20 > 1:31:26Just a bit of a distraction, that red.
1:31:32 > 1:31:36Well, who knows what is going to happen in the rest of this match?
1:31:36 > 1:31:45When you look back at careers, sometimes there are massive moments.
1:31:45 > 1:31:51In terms of home matches shape up. Should Kyren Wilson get out of this
1:31:51 > 1:31:55match and go on to succeed in the final, looking back on his career in
1:31:55 > 1:32:08years to come macro, sliding doors. -- to come.
1:32:11 > 1:32:25Already 49er head. -- 49 ahead.
1:32:25 > 1:32:35Definitely worrying times for Judd. And great, isn't it, to win this in
1:32:35 > 1:32:41one visit, to keep the heat on Judd Trump.He is showing a great deal of
1:32:41 > 1:32:53character, Kyren. He really is.He is finishing really strongly.
1:33:03 > 1:33:07What's a last frame this could be, assuming he gets over the line.He
1:33:07 > 1:33:15is looking for one more red after the black.He has got the red into
1:33:15 > 1:33:21the yellow pocket as a last resort.
1:33:27 > 1:33:38One good long pot and we are going to be all square. What a comeback.
1:33:43 > 1:33:50It is they're. -- it's there.
1:33:59 > 1:34:08That was Kyren's parents who got a glimpse of. -- you got a glimpse of.
1:34:08 > 1:34:16There they are. How proud will they be seeing this comeback?
1:34:37 > 1:34:43The crowd are absolutely loving this comeback.
1:34:56 > 1:35:02Judd's parents know he is still in with a good shout. It is going to be
1:35:02 > 1:35:06the toss of a coin. But at the moment the momentum is all with
1:35:06 > 1:35:14Kyren.I don't think anybody has doubted his pedigree. He has not had
1:35:14 > 1:35:23a great game in the early part of this match. He was sadly out with
1:35:23 > 1:35:27his positional play. But he stuck at his job and all of a sudden his
1:35:27 > 1:35:37temperament has really held up. He was given a lifeline by Judd
1:35:37 > 1:35:43Trump.
1:35:43 > 1:35:47Trump. And all of a sudden you think that Judd would like to play that
1:35:47 > 1:35:54shot again. Three seems -- three frames seem to have evaporated. Now
1:35:54 > 1:35:58he is trying to get rid of the thoughts that that shot has ruined
1:35:58 > 1:36:04his chance of getting to the final. One more frame. You have got to say
1:36:04 > 1:36:12the favoured now is Kyren Wilson. -- favourite.We have a 24 centuries so
1:36:12 > 1:36:23far this year. Make that 25. What a time to produce it. His 30th century
1:36:23 > 1:36:33this season. They are loving this. What an exciting finish we are going
1:36:33 > 1:36:39to have to this first semifinal.I think both players will go Hoedt
1:36:39 > 1:36:47now. Who is your money on for the final frame?
1:36:47 > 1:36:53final frame?That magnificent break of 107 has completed the comeback.
1:36:53 > 1:36:55Kyren Wilson is all square with Judd Trump.
1:36:55 > 1:36:58It is 5-5.
1:37:42 > 1:37:51He will weigh up the situation and if we can't see any easy safety
1:37:51 > 1:37:58shot... Is he playing the safety shot? Yeah. Just the safety shot.
1:37:58 > 1:38:02And quite rightly so.
1:38:08 > 1:38:11What you are seeing unfolding in this frame is the difference between
1:38:11 > 1:38:18coming back into the match, and all of a sudden, when your parity with
1:38:18 > 1:38:23your opponent, a different mindset. Both players tried to make sure they
1:38:23 > 1:38:32don't get their opponent and easy starter. What has Judd spotted?
1:38:32 > 1:38:46Bowl! -- bowl!Judd hasn't potted a ball for about 38 minutes. What an
1:38:46 > 1:38:52opening this is. An early chance.He got that cue ball out so well. The
1:38:52 > 1:39:02first chance to Judd Trump. What can he make of it?
1:39:03 > 1:39:10he make of it? The black is asking to be potted at some stage.
1:39:12 > 1:39:19to be potted at some stage. The red by the black spot may be a problem.
1:39:19 > 1:39:33But there are a couple of bunches of reds that needs to be resolved.
1:39:35 > 1:39:48Is he going to steady the ship?He has got himself under the black. The
1:39:48 > 1:39:58pink is out of commission. It was a great opening red. A bit unlucky for
1:39:58 > 1:40:03Kyren to leave that red, though he played the safety shot. But Judd did
1:40:03 > 1:40:09pot a very opener.
1:40:13 > 1:40:15pot a very opener. He could have left that slightly better for
1:40:15 > 1:40:21himself. He is still OK. But another inch off the cushion would've been
1:40:21 > 1:40:41better.Does this going? -- go in? He has got an angle for the blue.
1:40:41 > 1:40:48Good pace on the cue ball again, Dennis. With the tension that in
1:40:48 > 1:40:53this match, he has controlled the cue ball so far in this frame
1:40:53 > 1:41:01excellently.Not a good chance just yet. It is difficult to get on the
1:41:01 > 1:41:09red. If you could get on the red, that might help. He has got a lot to
1:41:09 > 1:41:14do from this position.That is the first mistake. He underhit that by
1:41:14 > 1:41:22quite a way. It looks like he has got be thin cut into the middle
1:41:22 > 1:41:31pocket. It is a lot thinner than it looks on TV.
1:41:34 > 1:41:39I suppose he is obligated to go for it.It's amazing, Steve, if it
1:41:39 > 1:41:45hadn't been a deciding frame on the blue, I'm sure he would potted the
1:41:45 > 1:41:53blue and cannon into the pink and reds.Is there a plant on? The thing
1:41:53 > 1:42:01about this is he has got to be sourced certain he can get this. --
1:42:01 > 1:42:10so certain. The can't risk this. He has got to be 100% certain. There is
1:42:10 > 1:42:18a gap between the balls. We know he has got history of playing planneds.
1:42:18 > 1:42:27Such a critical time. A thin red. This is not easy.
1:42:37 > 1:42:39It would have been better overhitting the blue than
1:42:39 > 1:42:47underhitting it. Not the plant. If it goes in, it could be a
1:42:47 > 1:43:01matchwinner.I think the correct shot, absolutely the correct shot.
1:43:08 > 1:43:12Not enough points to cause much concern to his opponent. The first
1:43:12 > 1:43:25chance to Judd Trump. Not converted.
1:44:13 > 1:44:22That was a pretty good shot from Judd. He has to catch this one thin.
1:44:22 > 1:44:31Not too thin.
1:44:31 > 1:44:36Not too thin. If there is no shot available to him, I'm just looking
1:44:36 > 1:44:48at the situation. He will go for the thin one.
1:44:48 > 1:44:57thin one.Fall in the face. -- fall. Wide to the top cushion is one way
1:44:57 > 1:45:04of containing the situation.
1:45:06 > 1:45:11Well played.
1:45:17 > 1:45:25There was a bit of pressure on that.
1:45:31 > 1:45:35Judd Trump looks to have weathered a bit of a storm. He looks more
1:45:35 > 1:45:40focused out there at the moment than he did letting those frames passed
1:45:40 > 1:45:51by. -- passed by.That has opened things up. Look at this cue ball. A
1:45:51 > 1:45:57fraction away from going in behind the yellow. But that has opened
1:45:57 > 1:46:02things up somewhat.He certainly wasn't scared of trying to get the
1:46:02 > 1:46:12black into play. Positive thinking. Is there a path for Kyren Wilson to
1:46:12 > 1:46:15try to pot this red and get back down the baulk area? I think there
1:46:15 > 1:46:18is.
1:46:28 > 1:46:35It was a good effort. He has potted three or four in this match. But
1:46:35 > 1:46:38this is the deciding frame. There was a lot of pressure on that.He
1:46:38 > 1:46:44didn't correct -- get the correct angle with the cue ball. He has left
1:46:44 > 1:46:55Judd very awkwardly placed. This is a plant. I don't think so. -- unless
1:46:55 > 1:47:05there is a plant. This is quite horrible, isn't it? As he got to get
1:47:05 > 1:47:14the extended rest Hoedt? That is a horrible shot to play. -- out. He
1:47:14 > 1:47:19could screw back into baulk. He has got the red on the top cushion to
1:47:19 > 1:47:26play safe off down into baulk. He wants to be more aggressive than
1:47:26 > 1:47:32that. Is he talking himself into a pot?
1:47:34 > 1:47:47pot? Nightmare. Nightmare shot. What errors happen there? Surely there
1:47:47 > 1:47:54was a safer option? Everything has been thrown away. Everything has
1:47:54 > 1:48:05been thrown away. How does he feel now?Well, he has got to sit there
1:48:05 > 1:48:11and see what Kyren can make of this chance. It is not a good chance.
1:48:11 > 1:48:17Judd has a 23 point advantage. But he thought long and hard and then
1:48:17 > 1:48:21took on another very risky plant. There was another straightforward
1:48:21 > 1:48:32safety shot, it has to be said.
1:48:32 > 1:48:37safety shot, it has to be said. He has gone to get the black straight
1:48:37 > 1:48:41back on its spot. He needs an angle. He has got the red near the middle
1:48:41 > 1:48:48pocket. Very positive thinking there from Kyren.
1:48:49 > 1:48:57from Kyren. So this is his chance. Judd has had his opportunity.
1:48:57 > 1:49:06Straight enough. It is a bit of a problem.
1:49:17 > 1:49:24This is a thin one. You can tell. A shake of the head. Get the height
1:49:24 > 1:49:29over the right side of the table and that was an easy pot. He might not
1:49:29 > 1:49:38be able to avoid imparting this red -- in potting this red, he may not
1:49:38 > 1:49:44be able to avoid collision with the other red. It is tough to screw the
1:49:44 > 1:49:57ball. What is he doing? Can he control it?
1:49:57 > 1:50:05control it? Where is this red going? It is important where it goes. On
1:50:05 > 1:50:09missable pink in the middle pocket, I would suggest. I think it is on
1:50:09 > 1:50:18missable. He trusted to lock and he has got a massive amount, I think.
1:50:18 > 1:50:20-- lock.
1:50:25 > 1:50:29As long as the red is also not touching the cushion he will not get
1:50:29 > 1:50:40an immediate double-kiss as well.
1:50:44 > 1:50:51What a semifinal we have been treated to. What else is left in
1:50:51 > 1:50:57this fantastic match?
1:50:57 > 1:50:59this fantastic match?He has underhit that. Just about got away
1:50:59 > 1:51:12with it. I thought he had underhit it a bit more than that.
1:51:20 > 1:51:25People ask you what it is like out there under these conditions. It is
1:51:25 > 1:51:30worse for the parents. They are more nervous than you are.Out there at
1:51:30 > 1:51:38this stage of the match you are playing on pure instinct.
1:51:38 > 1:51:40playing on pure instinct. So far every ball has gone in the middle of
1:51:40 > 1:51:48the pocket. He knows this is a golden opportunity. He knows he has
1:51:48 > 1:51:57been gifted it. Is he going to fulfil his potential?
1:51:59 > 1:52:06fulfil his potential?An awful long way to go yet with a few reds say.
1:52:06 > 1:52:12-- safe.
1:52:12 > 1:52:17-- safe. That has certainly put all four reds on now.That was an
1:52:17 > 1:52:21excellently controlled shot. He could have been forgiven for hitting
1:52:21 > 1:52:30it harder. It is advantage Kyren Wilson now.
1:52:46 > 1:52:54He is going to need one of the difficult three reds on the table at
1:52:54 > 1:53:02the very least, perhaps only one. It is a great effort.
1:53:05 > 1:53:11is a great effort. Still looking good.That is the number he is
1:53:11 > 1:53:22looking at, 67 points. If he gets there, Judd will need a snooker.
1:53:22 > 1:53:24there, Judd will need a snooker. The red he was leaning over, the one
1:53:24 > 1:53:34nearest the right corner pocket, that is not too badly placed.
1:53:42 > 1:53:47He needs high colours two only need the one red. It is not a bad red to
1:53:47 > 1:53:57get on.
1:53:58 > 1:54:05A bit lucky. The red has gone down the table.It is OK because he has
1:54:05 > 1:54:16got an angle on the pink.
1:54:16 > 1:54:21I think you would expect him to just drop this in. He hasn't got to do
1:54:21 > 1:54:39much with the cue ball.It is there. 30 points the difference now. Slowly
1:54:39 > 1:54:44creeping towards a place in the final. Still some work to be done
1:54:44 > 1:54:59yet.He needs 14 points from two reds.
1:55:17 > 1:55:31He had worked that out. That is the reason he played that shot.
1:55:31 > 1:55:38That red I mentioned, he can drop on that one here.For all of the
1:55:38 > 1:55:42inaccuracies of positional play that Kyren Wilson showed at the start of
1:55:42 > 1:55:45this match, he is on the brink of an absolutely fantastic victory, maybe
1:55:45 > 1:55:50the most important of his life. He has showed great character. He has
1:55:50 > 1:55:57improved as this match has gone on. One more good positional shot. He
1:55:57 > 1:56:07has played for the loose red.He will need a little bit of help. He
1:56:07 > 1:56:15will lead the extension on his cue and the extended rest.
1:56:15 > 1:56:18and the extended rest. Hasn't got anything to do with the cue ball. He
1:56:18 > 1:56:22will automatically finish on the black. I mentioned earlier, he did
1:56:22 > 1:56:30defeat Judd in the 2015 Shanghai Masters, 10-9. The deciding frame.
1:56:30 > 1:56:35He doesn't want to try to get too clever with this. Just drop it in.
1:56:35 > 1:56:40He will be on the black. He doesn't necessarily need to get too close to
1:56:40 > 1:56:45the black.
1:56:57 > 1:57:01Absolutely amazing. And what a fantastic round of applause for just
1:57:01 > 1:57:06potting that red. He is still looking at the scoreboard. Just this
1:57:06 > 1:57:17black to leave Judd needing snookers.
1:57:20 > 1:57:29Well... A little sigh of relief there. Just one snooker to tie at
1:57:29 > 1:57:35the moment. The double would make absolutely certain of a place in the
1:57:35 > 1:57:42final.
