Re: Dafabet Champion of Champions Final !!!
I don't think that Ronnie's too obsessed with that record of Hendry but if you ask me, the match against Ebdon in 2005 was the moment where Ronnie lost his only chance to break this record. He played absolutely brillant that season and played a brillant WC 2005 as well. People were already saying that he will dominate the next years and he dominated Ebdon in the match but Ebdon's massive slowplay destroyed his head at the end.
He would have played Murphy and Stevens after that where he would have been massive favourite and if he won that title I really think, he could have dominated the next years and won all the WC's till 2008. But that's history now. The defeat against Selby hurts but even if he'd won it, it would have been tough to get to 8. In my eyes, if Ronnie gets to 6, equalling the Nuggets record, this would be a perfect end.
