So at the end of day 1, The Nugget has built up a considerable early advantage. It's clear that Ronnie has not yet settled and is still getting used to the conditions.
There is of course a long way to go, but The Rocket has a lot to do.

Ronnie wins a session for the first time. Could this be a turning point?

The Rocket has won all three sessions on day 2 by the odd frame and now only trails by 4.

As Ronnie gets to within one frame, let's see how Ronnie fared when coming back against Davis in a final in 2004:

2004 Ronnie is still the most exciting player ever to watch, in my opinion. Got me hooked on snooker.

Another clean sweep for Ronnie on day 3, and he takes the lead for the first time. Can Steve mount a comeback?

The end of the first session on Day 4 marks the half-way point in the match.
After winning the first 3 sessions, Steve Davis has since lost seven in a row. He still only trails by 2 though. Is there a way back?

And for the record the fact Jimmy beat Hendry in this shows total lack of sense from the so-called experts and total wishful thinking I've put far more logical thought in to this than they have

Steve winning his first session for three days seems like a good moment for us to watch his final frame winning break in the 1988 final:

A massive session for Ronnie this one. It will be tough for Steve to claw the deficit back.

As Ronnie continues to build what looks more and more like an insurmountable lead, let's watch his 133 high break in the 2013 final.

A reminder as we head into the final day that it is first to 91 wins. Ronnie needs 7 more frames in total from the final two panellists
