Dafabet Masters Round 1 : Ronnie O'Sullivan v Robert Milkins

Milkins is very unfortunate to draw Ronnie for his Masters debut. It couldn't have been tougher really, I would have preferred to see another tussle with Robbo.

Was a player ever whitewashed by the same player in 2 tournaments in succession?

Hello, everybody. Now, as we have MSI I wanted to make a comment about that match. Ronnie played ok, Milkins rubbish. Ronnie surely got to his head. And whenever Milkins makes a mistake, Ronnie punished him and this hurts Milkins.

The fourth frame was the only frame really where Ronnie really played his game, which he has done over the last 20 years. Killing off frames in a couple of minutes with his superior breakbuilding ability. Next to Hendry the greatest breakbuilder of all time.

And even currently easily in the Top 3 in the breakbuilding department, despite his age of 38.

Must have happened I'm sure, don't ask me the player though.

Can Milkins do a Mavis and comeback from 4 nil down to force a decider?

Can't think of it off the top of my head. More likely to have happened in the qualifying school at Blackpool in the 1990s when you played pretty much best of 9s on a continual basis. That said, with 500 players involved the chances of drawing the same player two tourneys running was a rareity

Yeah noticed that too.

Lee doesn't deserve to be mentioned anymore though.

Milkins

Thanks, you're right

Great match so gripping from start to finish

oh ronnie
lost his concentration

5-1 should have been over

Ronnie was a little bit careless in that frame. But however, expect him to clinch the match in this frame.

Well done Rob, it would have been really harsh to lose 6-0 twice in a month against Ronnie

now then, ronnie should win this now

and ronnie twitches again OMG

what is ronnie doing ffs

ronnie is helping milkins big time

you need to chill

Finally over. Felt like a Mosconi Cup match at times, lol. Was very noisy out there.

6-1. Can't think of many easier matches Ronnie had at the Masters in all these years

Out of 34 frames Milkins played against Ronnie, he now has won 4

What do you know, Ronnie did finish him off before I came home. Pathetic from Milkins.

Wonder what you would say if it was Robbo thrashing Milkins.

Ronnie did what he had to do, played good snooker, ok Milkins could have won a couple more frames but Ronnie punished him for his mistajes and that's all a player can do.
