Dafabet Masters S Final Ronnie O'Sullivan v Marco Fu

Hope Ronnie can win it from here.

Great great match.

Marco's had a couple of those fluked plants this week. Horrendously unlucky with the roll up though.

Great long pot by Ronnie to compound that bad luck.

Marco fluke.

No player better than Ronnie at potting baulk colours into middle pockets.

Ronnie takes the lead.

This is an astonishing display by O'Sullivan

A trademark of his no doubt.

5-4 ahead, CMON!

I haven't seen the first five frames. From what I've read though Ronnie broke his tip and MSI was preponed? And since then Ronnie is playing at a very decent level? At least since frame six (since I started watching in other words) he's playing at a very decent level.

99% of the Tour wouldn't be able to string a 30 break together with a brand new tip in a match of this magnitude.

Ronnie is the 1% exception.

Parrot talked a load a crap about Ronnie not standing a chance of winning now, then hendry in the commentary box says it's a load of drama about nothing and having a new tip these days is a lot different from when Parrot was playing. Well said hendry.

This is the most confident and focused Ronnie I've seen in quite a while.

He was clearly not happy with the last tip and with this tip he's basically his old self.

The red Fu missed with the rest was the turning point in this match.

Better than decent - both players have played very well since frame 3 onwards (I missed the first two)

Spot on. Love him or hate him, enjoy this; you'll never see a player like this again.

Yeah, he was like only runner up in 2011....

Ronnie has been a new player since that new tip. If he carries on he's going to be a handful in the final should he make it.

That's the kind of pot Ronnie was pulling out in pressure moments 2-3 seasons ago. A good sign regardless of whether he takes the frame in this visit.

Who was waffling on about 6-2 to Fu earlier?

Ronnie is a legend
