Because Winning the Championship is pressure in itself i dont think its adding any more pressure on him to get the 100th century.
I agree, I think the 100 target has helped him rather than hindered him..a nice distraction from his opponent and the overall game. Reaching the 100 will only help him further psychologically in his next game against Trump. I'd be amazed if he lost tbh

Trump v Robbo is the tie of the round. I'll be rooting for Trump but I have to say Robbo is playing brilliantly.

This may be an obvious statement, but I see it being a tactical affair.
Alan has the angles, but Selby is the best safety player in the game.

Selby's chances of losing are slim to none. He's had far the easiest draw this year, but will be in for a rude awakening in the next round. Can't see Mcmanus triumphing any day of the week, although you never know.

Normally I wouldn't say Carter is an easy draw but against Selby Carter just didn't show up. Carter would have lost to anyone playing like that, it was a joke. Unforced error after unforced error.

Typical Mark, looks like he make a decent amount and then misses one he shouldn't.
Might not cost him against Alan, but will have to cut those out against Judd/Robbo.

I dont care Wild you liittle baby. I'm talking about this years world championship. Stop playing your childish games and act like a grown man.
Ronnie has beaten the likes of Hendry, Higgins, Ding and Selby in major finals but somehow you are obsessed by two finals against Carter. Get a life.

Its fact and if anyone should grow up is you lot of imbeciles that can use any stick possible to beat Down Selby with but look out if someone has a go at your Precious Ronnie.

I didn't bring it up. I just said Carter played terrible. This is a thread about this years world championship isn't it?
Wild is the one obsessed with easy draws. Always going off topic talking about Ronnie's past finals.

The only thing I said was Carter played terrible and would have lost to anyone. And you call me an imbecile? Wow. It's unbelievable a person like you is a moderator on this or any other forum.
Am I allowed to say Shaun Murphy and Fu played terrible as well or will you call me an imbecile again.
