Masters semis and final

Well those all went basically as expected, Wade made things a bit closer against GvV than they needed to be (god knows what Gian was faffing around at for set two), but an all chalk quarters is probably going to run into an all chalk semis:

Littler/Price - 69/75/69/71
Humphries/van Veen - 50/52/56/53

If we assume it's an all Luke final, then that goes 67/72/67/69 in favour of Littler (nice), if we think Price pulls the upset then it's 52/53/52/52 in favour of Humphries. So what it's saying for all intents and purposes is that three of these players are roughly the same quality, and one isn't. Doesn't look like value on the markets. I could maybe have a tiny flier on Price, but I likely won't bother.
