Barry Hawkins. A mag knittic attempt, the rocket, Ronnie | :00:49. | :00:57. | |
O'Sullivan: He's showing his battles qualities. Another Ronnie special, | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
there. Goong. We are down to the | :01:01. | :01:11. | |
semi-finals. And the match we're going to concentrate on with between | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
Ronnie O'Sullivan and Barry Hawkins. Hears a chance to catch up with what | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
happened early today. Barry's turn to baulk off and he's | :01:22. | :01:32. | |
needs a good session here. A pure miss. | :01:33. | :01:40. | |
He only needed one chance. It's now 7-2. A rentry number eight for | :01:41. | :01:49. | |
Ronnie O'Sullivan. Back-to-back centuries. The rocket | :01:50. | :02:09. | |
is on fire at the moment. Well played, Barry Hawkins. | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
APPLAUSE He's got a smile on his face. He's | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
10-3. Going for the00. -- hundred. Very | :02:17. | :02:31. | |
well played. Barry Hawkins. He still trails Ronnie O'Sullivan. | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
We are going to join the match at 13-7 top Ronnie O'Sullivan. Let's | :02:36. | :02:44. | |
see some of the shots that he played. He's going to screw back. | :02:45. | :02:54. | |
Look at the amount of left-hand. Yied a lasy scoock back. He was | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
behind in the frame. He was behind. He needed to pot the red. Barry | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
Hawkins had him the under predecessor. One again, we soo the | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
scoreline. Not that fantastic until you look at the scoreline. This shot | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
to nothing, when he was in front, to seal that frame. Great shots. None | :03:19. | :03:28. | |
of them are massively fantastic, but taken in the kext, just marvellous. | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
Wrd it continue in frame 21? This time, got an angle on the | :03:32. | :03:55. | |
colour. He just played it as if he was trying to put it. If he got the | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
angle right, area choons of knocking it in. He needs to get down close to | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
the red. They might be in the way it in. He needs to get down close to | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
one another again. So hard on getting the gap. He's got it but | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
forgot the I'm wondering if he can hold it for | :04:20. | :04:36. | |
the black. Well, he's taking the blue, frault, but he would get on | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
the black, you would feel, in a couple of shots time. Probably be | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
able to do it this time. And with the black back on the | :04:48. | :05:04. | |
spot... It's a great chance for Ronnie. First to 17. So there's four | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
frames to be played. Three after this. If he wins all the the frames, | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
he will have the afternoon off. Yes, world championship, you get | :05:18. | :05:29. | |
some time to win the match with a session to spare. But to win two | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
matches with a session to spare, makes it so much more, rest. And | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
he'll do that, beat Marc Murphy with a session to spare. He could have | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
the full day off. Such an advantage to get yourself | :05:48. | :06:20. | |
menialty ready for the final. -- mentally. | :06:21. | :06:31. | |
47 points in front. A step closer. To getting the match over tonight. | :06:32. | :06:43. | |
Unlikely. Because Barry is still playing very well. But that yellow | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
that he missed. He would have had all these. This is the one. He put | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
it on the right corn of the pocket. He knew after that he would be | :06:59. | :07:06. | |
sitting in his seat for a twhiel. -- while. Mind you, not that long with | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
about Ronnie O'Sullivan is at the table. He's so fluent. | :07:14. | :07:24. | |
Just over three minutes for this. This frame winning break. | :07:25. | :07:37. | |
Still a chance of another century. But he needs to clear with high | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
value colours. He's already had three centuries in | :07:44. | :08:09. | |
this semi-final. It would be his tenth. He would | :08:10. | :08:37. | |
overtake Robertson rocks, who has had nine. -- Neil Robertson. | :08:38. | :08:51. | |
Pink and black for a 5 te century. It's another. A brilliant clearance | :08:52. | :09:05. | |
from Ronnie O'Sullivan. One mistake from Barry Hawkins and that was all | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
it took. Ronnie O'Sullivan has cleared up for the magnificent | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
break. Cutting over to two reds. It could | :09:15. | :09:33. | |
go over to the left-hand corner. There's the red going over there. | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
The gap to get through to that red. Don't think so this time. | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
Well look at this red. He might take this pot on. Bus there's no easy | :09:46. | :09:53. | |
safety shot. -- because. He has knocked a high prnling of | :09:54. | :10:03. | |
long shots in. APPLAUSE | :10:04. | :10:35. | |
well, I mean, look at the distance. With the cueing to knock that in and | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
screw it back. Effortless. But where does it come from? He's playing | :10:43. | :10:52. | |
great in the balls. In previous tourmts -- turmss. He's long game | :10:53. | :11:00. | |
has been poor. I think it's a little thing called confidence. He's full | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
of it at the moment. 72% for the whole of the tournament. He is long | :11:08. | :11:15. | |
success rate. The pink tied up, black at the moment. But we know | :11:16. | :11:25. | |
he'll get it into play, he has to miff the red near the cushion. OK. | :11:26. | :11:35. | |
He's hampered. But whatever he sees there, he's getting it. | :11:36. | :11:50. | |
I mean, this is just superb snooker. A lot of players can watch what he's | :11:51. | :12:02. | |
doing here. Every opportunity, he's looking to win the frame. The other | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
players would be messing about the. In two shots' time, he has the black | :12:10. | :12:20. | |
in play. It's just a master class of break building, it really is. | :12:21. | :12:31. | |
Plenty of players made 100 wraiks. In their local clubs. But to do it | :12:32. | :12:42. | |
consistently,under in amount of pressure... Everyone's aim is to | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
bring their practice game to the match table. This is his practice | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
game, on the biggest stage in the world. | :12:54. | :13:28. | |
o Phone the police, that's a mistake. Daint play to kiss that | :13:29. | :13:40. | |
red. He was playing to the right of the pink. But it doesn't matter, | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
does it? Just the wrong side of the blue. But | :13:48. | :14:01. | |
I think to pot the red, never miebd get position, was superb. So another | :14:02. | :14:09. | |
longish pot. I'm smot sure if he can screw past the pink. I wouldn't put | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
it past him, the way that he's cueing. He had to cannon the pink. | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
He couldn't avoid it. Right in the middle of the pocket. | :14:22. | :14:35. | |
And another chance to get himss to 15 frames. -- himself. Every chance | :14:36. | :14:49. | |
that he gets, he plays another cannon to vo the cue balls down. He | :14:50. | :15:16. | |
The frame well and truly over. Just a matter of whether it's going to be | :15:17. | :15:26. | |
another century or not. As willy said. -- Willie. He'ses going to | :15:27. | :15:38. | |
make his fourth century in the match. | :15:39. | :15:56. | |
APPLAUSE Well, barry has had enough. He now | :15:57. | :16:10. | |
leads by 15 to 7. Two more frames to play tonight. Ronnie needs them baet | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
to win a with a session to spare. It's a tricky black he's faced with. | :16:18. | :16:39. | |
So a thin cut and he'll cannon onto the edge of the pack here. Makes the | :16:40. | :16:47. | |
pot more difficult. Well played, but is he on the red? It might be able | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
to get through to one in the middle. He'd like to take the left of the | :16:53. | :17:12. | |
reds. I don't know if he's seeing enough of it. I don't know whether | :17:13. | :17:21. | |
detried to put a bit of side off that to make the potting angle. | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
Possible he did. He tried to bend it a little bit and didn't quite get | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
enough on it. He's been helped by a few of the | :17:32. | :18:04. | |
mistake from Barry Hawkins. He wonts to have a day off tomorrow. | :18:05. | :19:40. | |
APPLAUSE difficult binch to go into. He plays | :19:41. | :19:53. | |
this shot so well. -- bunch. As I say, this was a difficult bunch to | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
go into and he hasn't finished nicely on a red. | :20:01. | :20:11. | |
Normally stuns it. This time he screwed it and opened the reds. But, | :20:12. | :20:21. | |
this would be some shot if he pulls it off and gets on the black. A shot | :20:22. | :20:30. | |
to nothing. If you look at the way he played it. I can have a got a | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
this, and if I don't pot it, the only ball I can leave is the one I'm | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
taking on. Had a quick look to see if it was | :20:41. | :21:09. | |
available, it's not. Maybe trying to cut the red in. He thinks he has the | :21:10. | :21:18. | |
good white though. Once again, his pace has been so good. | :21:19. | :21:34. | |
Yes, he has pulled a little cracker out there. The green will pass the | :21:35. | :21:51. | |
blue. Still needs a good shot. He had to really force that to get | :21:52. | :22:02. | |
up to the reds, now that he's missed the green, he's left a chance for | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
Ronnie. Already 31 points ahead. The black is tied up. Having to force | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
that. Caused him to miss the green. But he's got the pink in the open. | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
He can blinch it with reds and pinks. There's a few reds. If he | :22:19. | :22:31. | |
passes the brown and comes back up again, should be OK. Maybe a bit too | :22:32. | :22:42. | |
much on it. He needs it to pull up quickly. | :22:43. | :23:28. | |
Looks like the red next to the pink. Just trying to push thataway. | :23:29. | :23:48. | |
Well, it's going to be a matter of as to whether he can win the last | :23:49. | :24:10. | |
frame and the match, cos this frame is over. | :24:11. | :24:32. | |
Had a big, big pot off the cushion. But it didn't really matter | :24:33. | :25:01. | |
Just try it flick the red out of the way. | :25:02. | :25:10. | |
Well, he had an early break of 40. Then that break of 4 | :25:11. | :25:19. | |
Well, he had an early break of 40. frame. And Ronnie O'Sullivan now | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
needs one more frame to get himself through to his third final in a row. | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
So Ronnie on the brink of victory. And if the red wasn't to the right | :25:30. | :25:56. | |
of the pact, it would be easy to stun the blue. I don't think it's | :25:57. | :26:04. | |
hard enough. Wants to be straight on the red. Not quite hard enough. But | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
it could still flick off the pack and get onto the black. | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
This is the great chance of frame gentleman match now. -- frame and | :26:18. | :26:31. | |
match. The awkward red is going to be moved now. | :26:32. | :26:39. | |
Well, Barry just sits and wonders how many Ronnie is going to score | :26:40. | :26:51. | |
from here. It's been another terrific run from Barry Hawkins to | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
get through to the semi-final after getting to the final last year. | :26:57. | :27:05. | |
Ronnie back at 93% with his pot success rate. That rate at the back | :27:06. | :27:13. | |
of the bunch is available to Robbie. -- Ronnie. He wanted to leave a | :27:14. | :27:21. | |
slight angle but he can't do that now. So it's all about this shot, | :27:22. | :27:28. | |
played with top spin and right hand side. Watch the right ark. He's | :27:29. | :27:35. | |
played for the loose one. Maybe he feels it would be bet beer to go in | :27:36. | :27:42. | |
from the blue. But he doesn't have the angle to do that now. So it's | :27:43. | :27:48. | |
the shot that Is mentioned previously. He has to play it this | :27:49. | :27:51. | |
time. Trying too hard because he wants to | :27:52. | :28:08. | |
get this frame and have the afternoon off. He played a couple of | :28:09. | :28:24. | |
shots there he wouldn't normally. APPLAUSE. | :28:25. | :28:30. | |
The lead has been made even bigger, the fact that the black has gone | :28:31. | :28:33. | |
safe. He needs a perfect turn on the blue | :28:34. | :28:42. | |
to go straight onto the pink. And pinch the last frame, to stay in the | :28:43. | :28:45. | |
match. Doesn't seem to be any plan for the | :28:46. | :29:01. | |
reds. He can hit it as hard as he wants. How is your luck? Now very | :29:02. | :29:07. | |
good. No wonder he's smiling. Well, he hit it pretty well. And | :29:08. | :29:42. | |
everything just ran safe. On another day, he call go into pottable | :29:43. | :29:53. | |
positions. He's playing a really thin safety shot here, Ronnie. Just | :29:54. | :30:02. | |
hitting everything, it's the perfect safety. It is the perfect safety. | :30:03. | :30:12. | |
The red over the pocket. That's got to be Barry Hawkins's last shot. | :30:13. | :30:15. | |
He's in a bit of trouble here. He might have the pot his way out of | :30:16. | :30:34. | |
trouble here. No use leaving the white on the cushion behind the | :30:35. | :30:45. | |
black spot. He's looking at the potting angle of the red that is | :30:46. | :30:51. | |
just behind the two. There's a bit of a grap. He's got to pot it | :30:52. | :30:58. | |
really, he has to pot it. He would be lucky to cover the red over the | :30:59. | :31:03. | |
pocket. This could be the chance. He can get on the pink. It's a delicate | :31:04. | :31:11. | |
little shot. I think the angle is there for Ronnie to do that. If he | :31:12. | :31:18. | |
can drop it in dead weight and slip past the pink. If he goes too hard, | :31:19. | :31:24. | |
he's on the blue. He's played a check side. A little bit too hard. | :31:25. | :31:40. | |
Might just use the two reds to slow the cue ball down. But he's playing | :31:41. | :31:51. | |
to the top pocket. The two reds must be available and they are. He can do | :31:52. | :31:57. | |
it with the three reds, three pinks. It has been an awesome display from | :31:58. | :32:20. | |
the defending champion. He has played so well. He has had four | :32:21. | :32:24. | |
century breaks. This and the l pink would be enough. | :32:25. | :32:49. | |
And Barry now knows that he won't have the come back tomorrow. But he | :32:50. | :32:55. | |
really has done well. APPLAUSE | :32:56. | :33:00. | |
they know that Ronnie is now in the final. Barry Hawkins, he has had a | :33:01. | :33:08. | |
brilliant world championship, to get through to the semi-final again. It | :33:09. | :33:13. | |
has been fantastic. He's not finished yet, but barring snookers. | :33:14. | :33:18. | |
Ronnie O'Sullivan is into the final for three years in had a row. | :33:19. | :33:31. | |
54 the difference. Just the one snooker needed. | :33:32. | :33:45. | |
And I think he'll shake hands with Ronnie O'Sullivan. | :33:46. | :33:54. | |
It's been a fabulous display from the defending champion. Every credit | :33:55. | :34:02. | |
to Barry Hawkins behe's come up against a player in form. A very | :34:03. | :34:10. | |
comfortable winner in the end. I go oud to play hard every game. It's a | :34:11. | :34:16. | |
big tournament. A lot of pressure on everyone. As each match, goes on, | :34:17. | :34:24. | |
you get a bit mofrt comfortable. I don't think I'm improving. I felt so | :34:25. | :34:32. | |
drained. The first time I had it as well. I feel like I've been kicked | :34:33. | :34:40. | |
around the park. I didn't have that drive which is really horrible | :34:41. | :34:47. | |
because you're in a semi-final playing against Ronnie. I feel like | :34:48. | :34:55. | |
I've been in a boxing ring and had 1 rounds. It's about damage | :34:56. | :35:03. | |
limitation. You can only stop the rot by finding your own riet. | :35:04. | :35:10. | |
In that form, Ronnie O'Sullivan is almost | :35:11. | :35:22. | |
In that form, Ronnie O'Sullivan is touch, he is break building. Very | :35:23. | :35:26. | |
unstoppable. You had to feel for Barry Hawkins. I'm pretty sure, the | :35:27. | :35:34. | |
Dominic Dale match, it was a roller costar to get over the line. He ran | :35:35. | :35:45. | |
Dominic Dale match, it was a roller Ronnie O'Sullivan? They have to hope | :35:46. | :35:48. | |
Dominic Dale match, it was a roller that he dips. I | :35:49. | :35:52. | |
Dominic Dale match, it was a roller happening. Let's take a look at that | :35:53. | :36:00. | |
other semi-final. And then only 9-6. It's into frame 16. The last of the | :36:01. | :36:02. | |
seags. And massive for both players. When he played that red, not a lot | :36:03. | :36:25. | |
of danger. But take nothing for granted. It has found its wait over | :36:26. | :36:33. | |
the middle pocket. And was able to control it. Nicely | :36:34. | :36:47. | |
on the green. It gives you a better angle to get the cue daul back to | :36:48. | :36:59. | |
this end. -- kau ball. This looks inch perfect. | :37:00. | :37:05. | |
It goes out saying, not a great back to go it. Once again, he needs a | :37:06. | :37:20. | |
half ball kiss, not a full ball kiss on the bottom reds. This time he's | :37:21. | :37:28. | |
got it. APPLAUSE | :37:29. | :37:34. | |
look at the ark that he gets. It suddenly takes off and kisses | :37:35. | :37:40. | |
exactly the half ball. Couldn't have turned out better. | :37:41. | :37:54. | |
A potting angle. Once again, niceline on the green. And he'll | :37:55. | :38:04. | |
know, the magnitude of this frame. He's won the first cision, and he | :38:05. | :38:14. | |
can win this frame, he'll have won this session 5-3. That 93% pot | :38:15. | :38:23. | |
success is exactly the type that Ronnie O'Sullivan is producing in | :38:24. | :38:28. | |
the other semi-final. Whenever he's played safe, he's not taking a pot | :38:29. | :38:31. | |
on. Yeah, I don't think he's missed many | :38:32. | :38:45. | |
easy balls, but he's run outs of position a few times. | :38:46. | :38:52. | |
He'll play the kiss on the outside, ready for the red. If not, he'll go | :38:53. | :39:05. | |
into them. A lot of screw back. He might have a result here. | :39:06. | :39:11. | |
You make it sound easy. But it's anything but. Look spin on the ball. | :39:12. | :39:24. | |
He's taking it on. It's there. APPLAUSE | :39:25. | :39:31. | |
He didn't have to do a lot with the cue ball but the pot was difficult. | :39:32. | :39:37. | |
It could set up a frame winning chance. Every chance that he could | :39:38. | :39:45. | |
do it here, right at the right time. What a kick that was. Luckily for | :39:46. | :40:05. | |
Mark, with such terrible kick, not too bad if he can pot the blue. You | :40:06. | :40:11. | |
can see the ball bouncing all over the place. It would be out of | :40:12. | :40:18. | |
position and he wouldn't be able to continue the break. Sometime you get | :40:19. | :40:26. | |
those kicks. Just going to drop in blue in. | :40:27. | :40:32. | |
He was able to do that. Still on track. To have a four frame | :40:33. | :40:40. | |
advantage at the end of this second session. And a night off to recover. | :40:41. | :40:47. | |
It's been a tough battle. Spare a thought for a referee. He's | :40:48. | :41:09. | |
got to concentrate on every shot. He doesn't have time to sit down. I was | :41:10. | :41:14. | |
talking to him in the midsession break. He said, I have to have my | :41:15. | :41:22. | |
wits about me. A lot of things that he has to keep his eye on. And he's | :41:23. | :41:26. | |
done well this afternoon. So this bloock will put him 60 | :41:27. | :41:34. | |
points in front with 75 remaining. Didn't see that one coming! Didn't | :41:35. | :42:02. | |
that! I think he changed his mind. As you say, if he hots the black, | :42:03. | :42:09. | |
testify would have been snookers required. What is left? The key | :42:10. | :42:17. | |
thing is, he has the black safe. Very fortunate there. | :42:18. | :42:22. | |
I think he's got a choice of reds. He can get through to the one in the | :42:23. | :42:32. | |
left middle. It would offer his easy position on the pink. Plenty of | :42:33. | :42:34. | |
points to play with. Doesn't need a black off any of the | :42:35. | :42:49. | |
reds. To win it at this visit, he'll need the black. To win the frame. If | :42:50. | :42:54. | |
he gets that far. It's been his Achilles heel this | :42:55. | :43:11. | |
season. He never used to have that. He used to always clear up when the | :43:12. | :43:18. | |
balls are in the position. He knew it was such an important frame. Jest | :43:19. | :43:25. | |
quit on it a little bit. We were looking at Mark and 245 black he | :43:26. | :43:33. | |
missed. The referee was trying to get the pink on the spot. It's back | :43:34. | :43:37. | |
on the black spot. He played that well. He just wants | :43:38. | :44:00. | |
to get through the gap. Doesn't want to risk any kisses here. | :44:01. | :44:07. | |
Somebody moving in the crowd. He does notice it a lot more than any | :44:08. | :44:14. | |
other players, I have to be honest. A lead putting something in her hand | :44:15. | :44:23. | |
bag. She has stopped now. Yeah, that's what creates the | :44:24. | :44:49. | |
atmosphere. You have to be very careful, too frightened to breathe | :44:50. | :44:54. | |
sometimes. It adds to the atmosphere. No place like The | :44:55. | :45:04. | |
Well, would have been championship, one table. | :45:05. | :45:25. | |
Well, would have been red into play. He has... | :45:26. | :45:44. | |
pinks. It would put him 11 points behind. He can win the frame without | :45:45. | :45:53. | |
the black. If he was to take pinks with his reds, he would not need | :45:54. | :46:56. | |
This would really be a body blow for Mark Selby. Still reasonably placed | :46:57. | :47:07. | |
to get #4re68 out of the session. What a massive difference in is. He | :47:08. | :47:09. | |
won the last frame, but Yes, I usually say, position from | :47:10. | :47:26. | |
bloun to blue is important. He needs up to and including the pink. And | :47:27. | :47:37. | |
bit straighter on the blue would have been ideal. | :47:38. | :47:51. | |
What a clinch that was. He is 5 it points in front. 62 to play within | :47:52. | :48:00. | |
two. Selby, disappointed. So it's Ronnie O'Sullivan who gets | :48:01. | :48:11. | |
through to his third consecutive final. He's waiting for Mark Selby | :48:12. | :48:17. | |
or Neil Robertson. A massive last frame. He could have made it easy | :48:18. | :48:24. | |
for hims. He has given himself a great chance now. Please join us in | :48:25. | :48:32. | |
the morning. We'll be here. We will see the third session of the | :48:33. | :48:37. | |
semi-final between Mark Selby and Neil Robertson. Bye for now. | :48:38. | :49:05. | |
Ted, I... I'm not interested in coming to see Lady Gaga, sir. | :49:06. | :49:09. | |
