but.. the two finalists both have records of beating high ranking players. they aren't weak at all..
Selby did really well in the 2002 China Open, while Gray has once beat Ronnie O'sullivan in the first round of Embassy World Championship (don't remember which year).
I must agree with u there Tang , Selby turn pro when he was 16 and he`s only 19 now and let`s not forget his improvement can be seen by alot of ppl ..... nevermind the players he has beat . Just look at the match between Selby & Doherty ... 3-1 down and came back to win . Was there anyone who would every imagine he could beat Doherty while he was 3-1 down ? Selby is one of the top young talented players from around the circult and maybe it`s because he plays and practice in Willie Throne`s snooker club . Gray is another pro which don`t have alot of flash but that doesn`t mean he`s always an outsider , I would not dare to comment too much about Gray as i don`t know too much about his career .
