He is, but Robbo doesnt want this to continue for much longer, I expect him to win 6-2 or 6-3.

He might not have a say in it.

You're right though. You'd expect him to win his sixth frame sooner or later.

And with that miss from Mags it might be sooner.

Robbo's been too solid at the end. Huge chance now to win the title.

What impressed me most about Bingham today was his mental toughness. After Ronnie fought back hard and was starting to control the match, he pulled out some very good clearances. Just like against Selby in the CoC, he didn't seem to be too impressed by what happened in their last meetings. And that's a real sign of a world class player.

Well done Stuart, kept his head well.

I still think sprint matches involve a lot of luck and am annoyed at the frame slashing in this event, however, I do put my money where my mouth is and if the bookies want to continue pricing these type of matches with only a small allowance for the sprint format then they can be my guest.

It's all about determination , isn't it? Bingo overran several positional shots in the last frame but he still potted them. He has indeed proven today that he became a real topguy in the last 2-3 years.

Nice one Robbo great win

Congrats to stuart as well

Over a single session yes, but try beating Ronnie over three sessions! Very different odds or should be. He has not lost a multi-session match since the World Championship in 2011. Ronnie would still be odds on to win this match at 4-6 down if it had been best of 25. The format more than anything is the reason he has won the last two world titles but didn't win this.

Muppet147 wrote:A pity. Ronnie didn't get going until after the interval.

Not many players left that I would want to watch now.

Good , we wont have to read your drivel on here then

People seem to underestimate Bingham. People were surprised that he reached the final of the COC, and he was narrowly beaten.

People are still surprised that he is winning matches a couple of weeks later.

Maybe that's the real reason that they shortened the matches in the UKs a few years back. Hearn hates Ronnie.

Does that mean Bingham is a charming man?

I dunno if I'm snookered out or not. I'm thinking of having a bath. Tempting though Allen and Walden is.

The only time I've seen Walden was the last couple of frames that the BBC showed against Ding.

The line up for the Masters has been (unofficially) confirmed...

Mark Selby (Reigning Champ)
Ronnie O'Sullivan (World Champion)
Neil Robertson
Ding Junhui
Stephen Maguire
Judd Trump
Barry Hawkins
Stuart Bingham
Shaun Murphy
Marco Fu
Mark Allen
John Higgins
Ricky Walden
Robert Milkins
Mark Davis
Joe Perry

Not necessarily in that order.

Graeme Dott in 16th - will there be a wildcard round?

Andre147 PGC wrote:I would like Robbo to win it, he definately deserves the hat trick of the Big 3 titles in our sport, and he's the only player in this tourney that has played well in all matches, so I think he'll win it.

Maybe Selby could be the one to stop him.

I don't think it's that straightforward. Allen, Bingham and Hawkins at their best can also beat Robertson, I would think. But I agree, he's the favourite and Selby would probably have the best chance of beating him in the final.

Andre147 PGC wrote:The Beeb ending their transmission after 2nd frame between Selby and Hawkins was about to finish.

Eurosport

BBC = Big bullocks Cretins


Mark Allen 1-0 Ricky Walden
Mark Selby 1-0 Barry Hawkins

what a shot by the hawk!

Yeah good shot that from Barry.

He has become such a strong allrounder, just like Bingham.

Andre147 PGC wrote:Yeah it isn't and if Bingo plays like he did today against Ronnie has every chance, the big IF though is that it's a best of 17, and that will suit Robbo if he starts badly.

Selby v Robbo final would be very tasty. Either that or a grudge match between Bingo and Allen.

Imagine that.

Allen and Selby both won the opening frame, now both are behind!
