Sometimes players raise their game. I wouldn't call it squandering a big lead.
When it's one visit snooker, Trump-style, one bit of ball run and the frame is over. This is hardly squandering a lead. I've watched these matches.
re-spot!

6-4 Ronnie, white went in off from Xiao. Gutting loss of frame, and match.

Ronnie played well most of the match has to be said. Xiao raised his game from 3-1 down, and when he leveled Ronnie responded.
Could have been 5-5 and then who knows, but it wasn't.
Ronnie plays Maflin next, never had a pro match.

Maflin has never had a pro match? What, against anyone?

I've no idea why that game's not listed! I'm taking the 'update' from the Snooker.org 'live' scores...
Time for another update? Let's go!

Cao Yupeng cheated.
At least, according to Mark Allen.

Mark Allen is a bit of a idiot, to be fair.

Kurt Maflin got lucky.
Drawing the worst professional sportsmen of all time in the last 32.

I do agree, especially recently.
10 - 1 a few months ago Hawkins.
6 - 0 Robbo two weeks ago
UK Final, European Masters Final just to name a few. Glad he won the UK in the end.
I think the "greatest frontrunner in the game" tag was always a fallacy anyway to be honest.

It isnt fallacy Iranu. Look at the way he won his world titles. The bigger the lead the stronger he got. Too strong at times, humiliating his opponents. In recent years though weve seen the opposite. Especially in the big matches

Overstated would be more accurate I suppose. Go back to any period in his career and you'll find notable instances where he's lost from being well in front.
He's humiliated plenty of opponents in the last couple of years, I honestly don't think there's much of a difference between now and then.
