Still, there's time to recover, but a 4-1 deficit would prove very difficult.

His safety play has been the worst part of his game so far, breakbuilding not great either.


Safety will come with time. It's the break building that's worrying me so far.

its his first competitive match for about 5 months


Exactly!

Last season he too lost his opening match against Stuart Carrington didn't he? 1st or 2nd round, can't remember.

After that he won Masters and Welsh. :-D

They learned their lesson when one year they had Ronnie on the tournament programme and then he pulled out at the last minute <laugh>

Since then no Ronnie picture is shown in China tournaments...

Yeah, it's been turgid stuff, tbh. I blame Liang for that. Some of his shot selection has been very negative.

Exhos is about potting


I agree.

And as much as you practice safety play in practice, it's the professional matches that really up yur game.

I agree. He has to employ whatever strategy that gives him the best chance of winning.

Can't say I share same opinion, with Ronnie being match rusty and all that,,

4-4 is a different story though..
