The Magician the one to beat
Shaun Murphy is in imperious form and his victory against Selby books his spot in Sunday’s final in Cheltenham, beating world number 1, Judd Trump on his way.
Anthony McGill will be brimming with confidence, after his four straight frames comeback from 3-2 down in his semi-final will give him credence that he can beat the favourite.
McGill and Murphy will contest for the £100,000 first place prize and we are in for a treat.

Selby 1-6 Murphy
93 break will do it, Selby congratulates his long-time competitor and the final tomorrow night will be Anthony McGill taking on Shaun Murphy.
That has been a dominant performance from Murphy, as has the rest of his tournament and he continues as the man to beat in the final.
The Magician beats The Jester and that concludes a scintillating evening of snooker.
Selby 1-5 Murphy
Shaun Murphy is marching round the table now, he wants to put this tie to bed sooner rather than later.
Not far from victory here, grand slam finish to respond to the frame he could very easily have lost previously.
