"Graeme Dott v Ronnie O'Sullivan"

This should be a brilliant match.
Personally, I'm backing Dott. Which was obvious. Anyway, yeah, Dott played excellently against Stevens - the whole match was so tense.
Wonderful, wonderful final frame. Good stuff.

So - who are you backing?
Roll up the idiots who say Ronnie.

The way I see it is that this will be much closer then if Stevens had gotten through.

Ronnie Vs Stevens would have been a quick match, and the way Ronnie is playing he would have walked it because Stevens would have tried to match him break for break...didn't work for Hendry.

I think Dott will aim to slow everything down, give very little away and make the frames fairly scrappy.

However, if Ronnie can hold his temper, even if the game does go scrappy and the safety wins it then I can't see Dott matching him. He has been incredible in his last few matches and has kept himself under control.

If Dott can make him lose his rag a little then I can see him winning in a close run battle.

My money is on Ronnie but I want Dott to do it.

Going on ability, i would have to say Ronnie is going to win the match, and thats who i would like to, as he is just a joy to watch in full flow.

Saying that, all it takes is the odd kick and it can completely turn a match, setting one player off on a break and then before you know it he's so many frames ahead.

Has both the potential to be a land slide, or very close.

Depends who grasps the game the better.

peronally i think it's pot luck...

great potential to be an upset. i was backing whoever won out of Dott and Stevens. love to see graham lift the silver cup, but anybody's money has to be on the essex exorcet.

I can't see dott winning it, he is not world champion material, i saw him at wembley and he was terrible, i expect it to be one of the most one sided finals in years, i'd like to see him win it but it isn't going to happen.

an interesting point that john virgo said was that dott has a lot more conviction and pots more balls when he plays aggresively. i fear that he'll be cagey and playing safe in the final, which never works. if he randomly comes out firing on all cylinders then we could have a final on our hands.

personally ronnie will have an easy win in all likelyness.

I've got to say how pleased i was that hendry got hammered, i cant stand him, not that i'm a great fan of o'sullivan either........

I like Hendry

My fave player of all time. Steve Davis.
