Surprised you can make out what he says with him breathing down the microphone like Darth Vader.

peak Ronnie will be required tomorrow for sure.

no more playing rubbish finals, otherwise it's another Final for him.

But first he has to win this one, and Fu carying on like this Ronnie has a match on his hands tonight.

Excellent break.

What a break from Ronnie !!!

Incredible.

The way the balls were at the beggining, this has been one of Ronie's best breaks all tournament.

Really really good.

Just class when building these sort of breaks.

That long pot from Ron lol...

Why cant he produce this in Finals....

Ronnie killing it? Staying with family.

By Finals I mean recent ones, he's obviously played some of the SNooker of his life in Finals.

Ronnie playing like granite tonight. Playing the percentages something serious.

Hendry sounds so baffled.

Ronnie has a safety game that Hendry would never dream of having in his life... not that he needed it early in his career, but still...

The comms are complaining about the table again.

JV: You could feel sorry for your opponent Stephen.

Hendry: Why?

Andre, you got your wish. Ronnie isn't playing great, so by your theory, if he gets to the final, he should play brilliantly. xD

the poor table conditions will suit Selby tomorrow.

Yeah, I mentioned that point as well after Ronnie lost the last couple of finals after playing superbly in the semis. Some of Ronnie's greatest final wins came after a poor semi final performance actually.

Fu's weak cue power was exposed here to be honest.

Just asking: how is the h2h between Selby and Fu?

Amazing safety

12-4 Selby but thats overall I've not prioritised big matches.

Ronnie getting in early practice for the sort of exchanges he will be involved in tommorow.

Hendry is such a snide tool. I've noticed he almost enjoys being critical of Ronnie and Selby, especially Selby. He gives him a seriously tough time when he comms on his matches.

Well that was a project.

Hopefully!

He has a 79% pot sucess here, Fu on 94%, yet Ronnie leads 3-1

Unfortunately yeah, he will be involved in a hell of a lot of those tomorrow. He won't lose this Semi no way.

I rmember fondly the Masters 2007... he had a rubbish performance in the Semis, beat Mags 6-4, then played some of the best Snooker he's ever played in the Final against Ding.

I don't understand the way Ronnie played in the end of the last frame, when there were only 3 balls left and Marco needed 2 snookers. Why not roll the blue softly towards a pocket. It doesn't matter if he leaves it on. After Fu pots the blue, even if he gets the snooker he needs on the pink and Ronnie misses, he still needs another one.

I would love if Ronnie gave Selby another good hiding tomorrow, but somehow I don't think that will happen, even if he plays better than his last Finals.

My guess is if Ronnie wins this title it will be like the Masters 2009 when he beat him 10-8.

buck it I'd love a Dyson hoover.
