We all know Ronnie has been in steep decline since 2010

I wonder if he just got bored?!
Still think he was just having a laugh and 'trolling'!

ROS looks very beatable today. And Williams knows it. It's not the Ronnie O'Sullivan who kept destroying him so easily in the past.

To be fair, barring one of the most dodgy attempts at a plant you'll ever see, MJW could have beaten him at the Masters earlier in the year.

Ronnie looks a bit bored too.
MJW could have been leading 3-1, but he'll take 2-2 all day.
If Ronnie doesn't improve, MJW will beat him tonight.

Jonesy 3-1 up.
At the start it was 50/50 match for me because Fu isn't playing well in this tournament to make him favourite.

There were a lot of important matches that were really close and Williams could have easily won. Their battles at the Crucible in 06 and 10 for example and that Masters semifinal in 2010.

Thats true but back then MJW was playing really well. He had this great period from 2010-2011. And in 2006, he was still somewhat close to his prime. His late prime. He also won the China Open back then in the decider against Higgins.

Ronnie knows he needs to improve otherwise MJW will beat him.
That could make Ronnie play better.

That was a very clever safety from Ronnie. As was the one beforehand from Mark.

He never had that attitude and hunger of a Hendry. When he won his second world title, he probably lessen his practice time and motivation went down. Still strange though how rapidly his level decreased.

Williams was playing a pot there, right? The left of the two reds he hit first?

Can't tell if it was a pot or a hit and hope. If it was a pot, it was really tight.

I should be surprised that Virgo and Taylor didn't even consider it, but I'm not.

Ronnie's safety is far better now than it was earlier in the season. Even if he isn't making the big breaks, he can at least scrap it out now.

And he'll have to win some scrappy frames if he faces Selby in the Final.
