You counting this as a major then?

PS Isn't ROS on 14? 5 Worlds, 5 Masters and 4 UK.

Ronnie disappointing so far

Yeah, if Ronnie wins it, I will definitely be counting it as a major.

Also, you're right, on 14 majors at the moment.

He's lacking sharpness. You can tell he probably hasn't practiced much for this.

Wonder why ROS bothers turning up to China? He definitely doesn't seem as up for it as he does in UK events.

Not worried yet. I will be if he goes 4-0 down, though.

That was nice, much needed.

Ronnie 1-2 Woollaston

ROS on the board.

Allen v Bond is slow going. Poor Bond, getting slowed down by Allen isn't fun.

Don't know what that was from Ronnie. Should be 3-1 to Wooly now.

Ben Woollaston 3-1 Ronnie O'Sullivan
Nigel Bond 0-1 Mark Allen
Craig Steadman 2-0 Graeme Dott
Dominic Dale 3-1 Ian Burns
Dechawat Poomjaeng 0-2 Mark Davis
Sam Baird 3-1 Kyren Wilson

You have pinned your colors to the board.

if Ben wins you will be seen as a sausage if you call it a tin pot event now.

I consider this a bigger event than the UK now. Doesn't matter what Ronnie does.

Ronnie will have to play much better, otherwise Ben will beat him. But as CS said, Ben also sometimes chockes matches against top players, but he has beaten Ronnie before.

Didn't expect an easy match, one of the toughest Ronnie could have had, and it's proving that way.

This does have best of 17 semis, doesn't it?

Yeah, thats why it's like the UK Champs, only the China version.

On another note, Dott about to go 3-0 down to Steadman barring snookers. Didn't really expect that.

UK semis are best of 11 these days.
