Last year his one visit game wasn't as good as it was in 2013 and Selby punished him for that. And someone like Selby or Higgins(at his best) are just heavy punishers if you don't take frames in one visit.


I would be more surprised if he didn't win the WC this year, because as you say Selby is not be underestimated and can beat anyone, but the chances of Ronnie coming up against Selby again with both in the form they were is extremely unlikely.

Selby is also there for the taking this year, having a bad season.

yeah all of his World Titles were won when he was in good scoring mood so a 6th title will be no exception.

Selby completly out of the equation at Worlds, the Crucible Curse will get to him as it did to ALL the others :wave:

It's just his natural game, isn't it. I mean, of course someone like Ronnie can win long gritty matches with a lot of safety play as well but it just totally destroys his rythm and he gets vulnerable , especially against someone like Selby.

That's why players like Ronnie or Trump just have to score as quick and heavy as possible.

This is why I believe Ronnie will at least equal Hendry's record, over the next 5 years he will be playing well enough to contend and he's not always going to run into someone playing out of their skin.

He's also just had a lot of good fortune, which means it could well be his day...
