Ronnie has been extremely sharp, sure he's played a few loose safeties, but amongst the balls he's looking really good.
....and as I type this he misses frame ball lol

Tried to wrap a meeting quickly so I can watch Ronnie but did not work! Looks like he's cruising. He's a cruise missile

its these little shots which makes him so good. left handed, potted the red, little screw and opened 3-4 another reds. That's how a master breakbuilder does it.

Great match from Ronnie. I think he really put in the hours after that loss to Neil.

Wasn't put under too much pressure, but was solid and did what he had to. So it's job done with tougher tests to come.

I think he needed a good hiding to remind him where's he at with his game, looks like he's trying hard.
Now sit back and marvel at his marvelous interviewing technique.

Yeah but he wasn't scrapping it out like against Walden, Fu or in the UK most of the time. Nearly all frames won in one visit.

this isn't 2006 or 2005 so Ronnie wants to win every one he enters.

Yeah that was a masterful shot, and as you say it comes from the greatest breakbuilder of all time.
Judd for instance can also play a few shots with his opposite hand, but nowhere near the level Ronnie produces with his, especially under pressure situations.

collin asked him if he enjoyed the work in the studio and would like to come back in the evening, ronnie said he enjoyed it but he is here to win the tournament first

This season it seems to be a big advantage to be seeded in the same half as Ding. Perry and Murphy will be tough but if Ronnie plays like today I expect to see him in the final on Sunday.

Yeah, I remember all the excuses when Ronnie used to lose, "he didn't want to to win, if he wants to win he will"..gone are those days.

yeah I heard that, and it's the right choice from Ronnie, first and foremost win the tournament, studio stuff
only if he's knocked out.

Perry next for Ronnie, and if he wins that he'll have Allen or Murphy, 2 in form players.
An Allen v Ronnie match is what I want as they have only played 3 times in their careers.

Agreed but I can't see Murphy losing to Allen right now.

So Perry the next opponent then. I expect very close match (and it's obviously just best of 9 at the end of the day) but if Ronnie scores like that he should win.

I actually think Allen will exact revenge after the Masters loss, so my money is on Allen to win that match.
A shame we only have 1 TV Table, one of the greatest tournaments of the season definately deserved 2 TV Tables.
