How far will Yu Delu go?
As said, I don't get to post much at the moment on the internet at home, so wasn't online when Yu beat Ronnie last night.
What do people make of that victory? I've not seen much of Delu, sadly. But he seemed to have a lot of confidence going into the Ronnie match. Ronnie has been on the sort of form that Trump was a couple of years back when people are scared to play him. A lot of the times players a lot higher in the rankings seem to lack the coninction that they'll win, even before the match has started. Not so De Lu.
Browsing last night's discussion thread, I noticed our esteemed leader Sonny posted this quote; "I've seen Delu play like that many times but he is a hot and cold type player." Anybody else got any other comment to add?
Anybody care to venture a prediction. Will he win ranking events? Majors? Be an all time great?
Hard to tell. I remember watching a game at The China Open a few years back when I thought Lu Ning outplayed Murphy in every department. Potting, safety, shot selection. Made Murphy look like a chump. I'll never forget how despondent Murphy looked after that game. I was predicting big things for him. He's done comparatively bugger all since.
Still, anyone brave enough to say how far De Lu will go? Or did the performance against Ronnie flatter him?
