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.

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.

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

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.
