exact same words you used for the Fu match! Please keep these comments coming every time Ronnie plays.

Starting to have a bit more respect for Hendry now.
While an on song Ronnie at his best is unquestionably the greatest there ever was and ever will be, he simply doesn't have the consistency which Hendry had in spades.

Why, what did Hendry achieve when in his 40s?

Good question. Hendry was amazing when he was young but he sucked when he got a bit older. At least Ronnie can still win big events. Ronnie has more consistancy than hendry in the long run..

Wild's also over 40.... but he doesnt play top level snooker mind you.
Being alive in the same era as Wild, and being able to watch his excellence all these years, is one of the joys of my life. Call me a fanboy. Thank's Wild!

I dunno, I'd say Hendry was consistently average in his later years.

This will be the first triple crown event not won by either O'Sullivan or Selby since 2015, is that right?

When did O'Sullivan win 5 Masters or 5 World titles in a row? Winning something every few years isn't consistency

Being good for 6 or 7 years and average the rest of the time isn't consistency either. Ronnie has won titles for nearly 25 years.

Yes, the first time since Neil Robertson won the UK in 2015.

Fans of ronnie are all disappointed with his performance especially after Tuesday's performance against fu. but must relativize.
if i was asked to choose between uk and masters without hesitation i take uk. and he won the uk + shangai + english open so 3 rankings.
Masters is not a ranking and he has the record of wins here. in my opinion the masters is a slightly overweight tournament for my taste.
The goal is obviously the Worlds even if I think it will be extremely difficult: the tournament is long, it's difficult mentally, not sure that ronnie is all his head for 15 days. but I still believe in a 6th title.

a favorite for the title now?
My wish is the prono of Hendry: Mark williams.
I would see the title go to the winner of the match between Murphy and Trump.

I agree that he wants more titles than SH, but the easiest way out is not to play at the Crucible and then say 'I could have won more but I didn't enter cos it is boring and I like doing other things.'
