I also think there's a bit of historic needle between the two of them.

But you're right, having Rob Walker thrust a mic into your face just minutes after losing a massive game can't be an easy thing to deal with, so can't really blame Selby for venting.

Regardless, I think Ronnie in the final against an exciting new(ish) talent is good for the game. Much as I appreciate Selby's match play and sheer determination, I just don't get anywhere near as much enjoyment out of watching him play.

Should be a great final....
I personally love watching proper match players like Selby and Higgins. It's especially good when they're against an attacking player like Ronnie.

I think Selby should have been happy Ronnie went through a phase of just hit and hope shots.
