Just like after the Romania Final, Ronnie plays his next match just two days after. At the English Open he lot early in the 3rd round, funnily enough he could meet Wakelin here in that very same 3rd round...

This season busy shedulle for Ronnie is something he probably hasn't experienced since the 2011/2012 season when he played in most PTC events back then, and even then they weren't as cramped as these are today on the calendar..

Just hope he can bring his A game here, many top players not entering, his biggest threat the man who beat him on Saturday, both can meet in the Quarters...

Luca beats Murphy 4-0 :D Played very well most of the match, wish he could be like that for a whole tournament to win it, which I believe he can if he improves his safety game.

He seems to do better when he only plays two or three tournaments a year, maximum.

Ronnie plays at 7pm today and Jimmy at 8pm.


The nostalgist in me wishes for this match!

It's just for nostalgia purposes, we all know if they meet Ronnie is likely to beat him 4-0.

Higgins pocketing 300,000 grand in a week is surely a record in the game isn't it?

If these we rankers he would be on 30 by now, and WN2.
