Throughout the entire match, the audience was so respectfully quiet that you'd scarcely know they were even there!

Best semi in my memory!

The guys with the cameras are fantastic. Split-second timing from overview, to view from the inside of the pocket (pot). Really cool.

Snooker is so exciting!

That's the finest snooker i think i've ever seen..

Great great match

Wonderful quip from commentator when the clearance masters finally were reduced by the pressure to surprising misses on what a frame earlier had seemed a "gimmie" : "The machines have become humans!"

Both players are exillent

Machines have become humans , well said

Robertson is the player playing Top skills and Top snooker Kung -Fu.

This should be an Olympic sport.

Selby can change his game to suit the opponent. He's an adaptive player and that's why he's such a dangerous player. He's good at mind games and has the patience of a Saint. He's a joy to watch

Agree on most points. but I thought he could have been a bit more gracious in defeat at the end of the match and shaken hands with Robertson. Well, may be the power of money gained or lost has a great deal to do with our attitudes. So much for the Olympian spirit.

@@Sharukin88Arsanis First of all, be careful about commenting on someone's manner. We don't know if you are half as decent as your high horse is carrying you. Secondly check the date, shaking hand was not recommended even if you were bathed in sanitizer. Thirdly, stop passive aggressiveness towards people with money just because you haven't got enough of it.

Stephen Hendry was spot-on excellent job with the commentary Mark give it a good shot Neil Robinson capitalize Stephen Hendry if you ever give up snooker you will make a good commentary person job well done like they would say over there in the UK Bravo job well done A+ across-the-board

I don't know a lot about snooker, can anyone please explain to me at 40:26 why Robertson didn't just put white ball at a good position and hit the red ball to score when he had the white ball in hand?

In Snooker, ball-in-hand placement is not free. It is limited to within the half-circle. With that constraint in mind, he placed the cue ball where he found it to be optimal.

@@gashery ok, I thought the white ball can be placed anywhere on the table when it's in hand, thanks for explaining.

I was pretty disappointed that Selby didn't offer to shake hands with Robertson after the match. It was a great give and take all the way through and I didn't see any reason that Mark should have been upset with Neil. Very surprised.

He probably feels a bit disrespected. In a way, Robertson wasn't playing him; he was playing Trump, due to their wager over tonning. Neil was clearly going after the centuries, which bothered him.

its only because the match took place at the time the when the pandemic was at its peak and the players were discouraged maybe even disallowed to shake hands. mark selby is a true gentleman and an olympic. they played a few games head to head in 2021 and they've seemed to had no problems.

I cant believe that they haven't got a better way to replace the balls in their exact places after a foul than the one they have now. I have an idea but would want to patent it first and I would say it is 99% accurate no question!

That silly last shot from sell

I remember watching this match live during the lockdown in 2020. Scintillating snooker this was, and in a weird way the lack of an audience gave it a sense of uniqueness. If there was a crowd I'm sure they would have been loving every minute like I did

Is that the referee's breathing we can hear? Clothing movement? Made this impossible to watch with sound on.

what's the point of the ridiculous scaffolding all over the arena ? this commentator is almost as bad as Syd Waddell

Filmed at the height of the pandemic so no hand shaking - Selby is currently ranked number 1 and as its his job he can play in any style he wants to - and finally if Selby upsets you so much you don't have to watch him. Switch off and watch Coronation Street. -

Total unability of both to think a plan and make it to reality in clearest situations - boredom on the third power
