To be fair he totally bottled that last pink! Fortunately it ran safe and didn't cost him.
He's had a great season though no doubt.

Not just Bingham and Ryan Day, Roger Federer also just bottled a big final too.

Yes don't remind me... 3 match points bottled
And for someone who doesn't like Tennis and doesn't follow it you sure are well informed.. Final just finished half an hour ago.

Don't get me wrong, I like tennis and I watch it a fair bit on television. I'm not like SnookerFan who makes no secret of his hatred for tennis.
It's just that it sometimes bugs me when Roger Federer gets mentioned on here constantly when it's supposed to be a snooker forum. You wouldn't see a snooker player get so much air time on a tennis forum...I guess it's just our inferiority complex as snooker fans that some of us have a problem with it.
All that said, it's really not a big issue.

Yes fair play Cloud.
Tennis is my 2nd favourite sport, I think the comparisons are mostly due because Federer is still playing somewhere near his best Tennis at the age of 36 and Ronnie with Snooker at the age of 42, plus the two of them are arguably one of the best ever.
Even for a non-Tennis fan this comparison makes sense. But I could also name other sports where players are playing near their best at the twilight if their careers. Tennis for me happens to be the sport I know best outside Snooker.

Wow.
Weren't he 4-0 down?
Sounds like an awesome match. Tucked away on the Player. I wonder how many people watched?

An interesting fact is that Day won his three titles in continental Europe (Latvia, Gibraltar, Romania). So, to be considered as a solid title contender every time, he has to win next:
1) A ranking tournament with a multi-session final
2) A ranking tournament with a multi-session final in the UK.

I'm not sure I follow.
Can you explain it to me by comparing it to something Roger Federer has done?

TBH I find comparing the two sports very odd with tennis being a much more physical game than snooker but i do see the parallel with the older greats staying strong late in their careers.
Congrats Day, fantastic win

Tennis and snooker are identical. You need to pot a frame to win.
