Good morning all, lovely day here in Sheffield. Well we have the final pairing, not many would have predicted the two contenders, but that won’t stop it from being an intriguing match. Kyren is the bookies favourite understandably but I think you write off Jones at your peril.🏆

Not many of us would have predicted this Semi Final lineup, but I have to say, the four players remaining have played the best snooker, simple as that. Hard to pick a winner, I think it should be 3-1 each player it looks that open.

Just spoke to Mark Pearson from Betfred. They have made Wilson their 5-4 favourite to take the title. Bingham 9-4, Gilbert 5-1 and Jones 6-1. As I said earlier its hard to pick the winner. Therefore the value must be with, Gilbert or Jones. Should be exciting. Enjoy 😉
