:00:43. > :00:49.You can only look back at the end of your career, and go, did I get it
:00:50. > :00:54.right most of the time? When you start to play with confidence
:00:55. > :01:01.results come. You don't have time to think about everything. Other than
:01:02. > :01:05.what you are doing there and then. The experience of getting to a
:01:06. > :01:10.semifinal, big crowd, I've had that a few times in my career now. As
:01:11. > :01:17.long as you feel good in yourself you've always got a chance. It will
:01:18. > :01:21.be a great experience, to put myself against the absolute best that is
:01:22. > :01:29.Ronnie O'Sullivan at the moment. Good evening. Two of the best and a
:01:30. > :01:31.man made for prime time television, be prepared to be entertained, it
:01:32. > :01:38.could be compulsive viewing, playing for the right to face Neil Robertson
:01:39. > :01:40.in the final. Can Joe Perry steal the limelight from the man who has
:01:41. > :01:54.been thrilling the crowds all week? Now obviously the semis, a one-table
:01:55. > :02:04.set-up, it is nice to be there, but still a long way to go, the best of
:02:05. > :02:08.17. It is my best run of the season so far, I did not come here in great
:02:09. > :02:11.form but I felt better in myself and more confident and the results have
:02:12. > :02:18.shown what I thought was happening to my game. He's a good player, I
:02:19. > :02:21.had one of my hardest matches at the Crucible against him, very tough
:02:22. > :02:26.match, he is a good tactical player. I need to be on my game, he beat
:02:27. > :02:31.Judd Trump and you must be feeling good about his game. He is
:02:32. > :02:35.absolutely ridiculous. He's the greatest player anyone will ever
:02:36. > :02:40.see, it is crazy what he does on a snooker table, and you can't help
:02:41. > :02:45.but watch, I've watched all of his matches this week, he's fantastic to
:02:46. > :02:53.watch. He's a great character, great charisma around the table and his
:02:54. > :02:55.actual play is unbelievable. I've learned that mentally you cannot
:02:56. > :03:01.sabotage your own success and I'm trying not to do that, but it has
:03:02. > :03:08.been a long wait. But we are here now and I'm still in the semis, and
:03:09. > :03:14.we will try to make the most of it. Yes, I can beat him, he is beatable,
:03:15. > :03:20.but it will be a big task at the mood and form he is in, I will have
:03:21. > :03:24.to play my best ever. Why not? I'm in the semifinal, playing good, why
:03:25. > :03:32.not? I have got to have the belief I can win. This is how the players
:03:33. > :03:38.compare, Ronnie O'Sullivan with 27 ranking titles. Joe Perry with just
:03:39. > :03:45.one, that was last year when he won the players championship. The
:03:46. > :03:55.head-to-head, 12 victories for Ronnie and just two for Joe Perry.
:03:56. > :04:03.Joe Perry reached the semifinal in 2014, the last year that Ronnie
:04:04. > :04:09.Victoria -- won this. People cannot wait for this. There is always a
:04:10. > :04:13.harsh when Ronnie O'Sullivan plays, he brings everyone out to watching,
:04:14. > :04:18.and I can't believe how relaxed he has been, he has said it has been a
:04:19. > :04:21.long way, but he is playing what he considers his practice form on the
:04:22. > :04:26.match table, and if we could all do that, we would have a great chance.
:04:27. > :04:30.It will be tough for Joe Perry, but he has a bit of form. He's playing
:04:31. > :04:35.well now, and it will be a test for Ronnie tonight. He admitted that
:04:36. > :04:38.himself, Joe Perry, he has not been playing very well going into the
:04:39. > :04:43.tournament, but he has the momentum going through this competition.
:04:44. > :04:48.People say Ronnie is unbeatable, they keep on saying that. Joe Perry
:04:49. > :04:51.says he has been watching his matches all week, but you have got
:04:52. > :04:56.to get that out of your mind. You have got to play well to beat him,
:04:57. > :04:59.but you can't keep on saying that he is unbeatable, because he has lost
:05:00. > :05:05.matches in his career and he will lose more. How do you go about it?
:05:06. > :05:08.You cannot afford to miss when you are in the balls, around the black
:05:09. > :05:11.spot you have got to win the frame at that visit and your safety has
:05:12. > :05:16.got to be watertight. We will find out what happens. The man behind me
:05:17. > :05:23.is going to get the players out here. Now to the master of
:05:24. > :05:26.ceremonies, Mark Johnston Allen. It is an amazing atmosphere here at the
:05:27. > :05:33.Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff. Welcome to the second semifinal of the Welsh
:05:34. > :05:37.Open 2016, Saturday night snooker does not get any better than this,
:05:38. > :05:41.the crowd are waiting and the players are waiting. We can get on
:05:42. > :06:07.with the introduction is. First of all. -- introductions.
:06:08. > :06:13.We seem to be having a problem with the Welsh Open snooker. We are
:06:14. > :06:15.working on the problem and we will bring this back to you as soon as we
:06:16. > :06:26.can.
