Ronnie said in the studio that he was pleased to get through, that he never wants to go out early after a tournament win and that he is looking forward to his match against Williams.
Now he's back to No. 15 in the provisional ranking - that would mean playing Selby in Crucible in the last 16.
that will be great game against mjw , they've been having a ding dong battle on twitter in
the last few months
Both said afterwards their first round matches that they look forward playing each other. I think one of them is lying
I don't think any of them is lying. They know each other well, respect each other, go along well despite the mutual teasing and they both know this is a match that will be played in great atmosphere … something they both relisH
Honestly I would be surprised if Williams really deep down is looking forward to this match. He will be looking foward to playing Ronnie, like Ronnie looks forward playing Higgins.
Very true that

Any big breaks from Allen?
Look for yourself:
provisional rankings
Ah, forgot about Bingham. So Ronnie only needs to equal Bingham's performance to go above him.

14th would be the best position for Ronnie - 16th, 15th, 13th, 12th not so good.

Back to back centuries for Mags. Good to see him picking up where he left off.

Who could Ronnie face if he was seeded 14th at the Worlds?

Williams.
Alternatives: Higgins, Selby, Robertson, Trump
Who would you prefer?

12th or 13th would be even worse than 15th or 16th because it's almost a certainty that should he beat Robbo or Trump in the last 16, he would have to beat the other one in the quarter finals.

Mags was cruising at 3-0. Wicheard just pulled 1 back and leads by 28 in the 5th.

That's why Williams is looking forward to tomorrow.
But I'm serious Ronnie will be better off not having a good run in this tournament - winning this tournament would be worst case. I honestly can't see him beating Trump and Robbo in row.

And even if Ronnie does win tomorrow, he will certainly lose against Trump in the quarters, because I´m sure Judd will get past Bingham...

How was the standard in the Ronnie Fu game ? Well done to Ronnie btw, go a virtual bye into the quarters with his lovely lady Williams next.

He played ok, but Fu had his chances early on and couldnt make the most of them, and Ronnie not playing at his best won it comfortably by 4-1.. made a century in the last frame

Yes, Mathhew had a brilliant break of 141, and now this century from Hawkins.... maybe Williams will be the only Welsh player in the Last 16...

I'm the Welsh won't mind. They must be used to not seeing any Welshmen in the tournamnet anyway.

87 to clinch it 4-2. Definitely a bit nervier than expected once it was 3-0. Like the look of Wicheard. Very decent player.

Maguire wins by 4-2.... made breaks of 101 and 131 on his way, back to back tons... Wicheard still made a fight for it, was trailing 3 nil and made 3-2, but in the end Maguire finished the match in style with another high break....
He´ll face either Mattehw or Hawkins, 3-2 to the latter, but Matt is on a break about to level...

Good performance by Wicheard today and Baird yesterday. Can't wait until newcomers get two seasons unitl they drop. Too many good players dropping off because they took some time to get used to life on the circuit. If Baird had another season he could get into the top 32 easily with the venues he's qualifying for.

Snooker is unfair sometimes. One of Hawkins and Stevens has to lose while playing brilliantly, while Selby played awful and is still through.
