You said at the start of the tournament that Ronnie's only chance of winning this year will be by making quick frame winning breaks in one visits and building big leads. So far he delivered on that demand, didn't he?
He looks strong (close) in the balls. His one visit game looks fine in other words. So far at least. Thats the most important thing. If he keeps doing that he has at least a chance to win the title.
Still not sure though how he would cope with playing the likes of Selby or similar players who will keep it very tight.
I know I'm getting way ahead of myself but there's a chance Ronnie won't have to battle it out against Selby. If Robbo or Fu would win that quarter and with Trump already out, Ronnie could avoid his toughest challengers currently...

Tom Ford would be a poor advert for deck chairs as he keeps folding so easily.

I'd like to see him finally beating Selby in the Crucible given he lost both encounters against him but yeah you could be right of course. Fu or Robertson definitely capable of knocking Selby out.

That wouldn't be satisfying, I'd rather he played the best and beat the best.

Nope, it won't!
You're right. Ronnie already the GOAT.
Nope, he isn't.
Anyone who says Ronnie isn't the GOAT is living in denial.
You need to be d*ck-slapped back into reality.
All the players, past and present couldn't beat Ronnie when is he on song (at his best).

top half is stacked with potential Selby/Robbo and ROS/Ding QFs to look forward too. McLeod fave to come through the bottom half.

He's an AI experiment. Every now and then he needs a reboot. Now who on snooker island has anything to do with computers...? I mean I did study computer science but it's definitely nothing to do with me....

Yeah, I'm going to say The Saviour is some kind of bot that has been programmed to type about snooker. Programmed with a few stock phrases, but doesn't actually work very well.
