The story managed to get in my girlfriend's newsfeed, she just sent me a screenshot of the BBC article. Ronnie creates stories! haha. We are properly back to normal now, I'm mentioning my girlfriend, did I mention she was Latvian?

That's where Jimmy's wrong. Ronnie has proved in recent times he can lose to any sort of player. I still fully expect Ron to win, but suffice to say him losing wouldnt come as a surprise as it once did.

I Think Jimmy is spot on

its just about the easiest match of the round for Ronnie. if he loses in this match he really should retire

oh yeah? what about Ronnie's loss here to Chris Wakelin last year? that was as bad as Ronnie somehow losing this one.

I also think having Peters here means he cares about this one.

But he may have Higgins next.

Wakelin is a better match payer whitch can cause Ronnie problems if hes off his game Zhang Yong not that type of player plus Wakelin had more TV Exposure

Good break apart from that positional slip up. 2-0

Re: English Open Day Four

wouldnt surprise me if the less known Robbo won this match. 1-0 up.

Re: English Open Day Four

Postby Andre147

at this rate Ronnie will need 2 or 3 more years to reach the milestone of 1000 career centuries.

already on 885.

Just appreciate Ron's amazing display here.

In his last 5 frames he's actually made 4 centuries. :clap:

What a break black and pink not available at the start worked the cue ball so well. :spot on:

Good to see Vafaei beating Bingham, he's getting as bad as Brecel though with that celebration and also balding.

Excellent performance from Ronnie so far, but all this will be useless if he cannot beat Higgins later.

Absolutely has to be Ronnie's tournament to win, surely?

Steve Peters there. Me at the final with somebody else who doesn't like Ronnie.

He's playing well, he has more incentive to do so to overtake Higgins now. This motivates Ronnie more than he lets on.

He's hard an argument with World Snooker early in the week. This pretty much guarantees he'll kick up his game. For some reason he thinks him winning proves a point to World Snooker. (Despite them wanting him to.)

It's got his name written all over it, this tournament.

My prediction is that he'll win the English Open, then pull out of Northern Ireland just to make a point about the million pound prize fund.
