Juss Sports Shanghai Masters Final !!!!!!

Andre147 wrote:last time Ronnie won 2 rankers in a season was the 2012 German Masters and Worlds.

If he does win it, he'd only be 6 behind Hendry, and I think that would give him motivation to pursue that record.

Yeah he talks it down. But it's in his sights.

I have the impression that he has hardly missed a pot.

He did miss of course, but the chinese dont provide those stats usually... must have been 91 or 92%...

Regardles, I think the fact he's playing Judd is more important to his confidence than this being a ranker - I feel like he could really do with paying him back for last season. And also beating a top player in a final again.

Monday 13th - Saturday 18th of November at the Shanghai Grand Stage, China

Down to the Final match, and the last two remaining players are Judd Trump, who has only conceded 3 frames at the venue stages, and Ronnie O'Sullivan, who beat great rival John Higgins 6-2 and himself has only lost 6 frames in his route to the Final. Trump's 3rd Shanghai Final, having lost his previous 2 by the odd frame. O'Sullivan's also 3rd Shanghai Final, but won it once in 2009 and since that tournament this is in fact the furthest he's ever reached in a China tournament.

The head to head is very much tied every way you look at it, so something gotta give tomorrow. Both seeking their 2nd ranking event title of the season, Trump looking for his career 9th whilst O'Sullivan trying to be on 2nd place of all time with 30 just 6 behind Stephen Hendry.

Who shall win and bank a good £150,000 and the title?

Final

Judd Trump v Ronnie O'Sullivan

HEAD TO HEAD
Overall: Tied at 10-10
Main Tournaments: Tied at 6-6
Multi-session matches:O'Sullivan leads 3-2
Finals : Trump leads 3-2

TheRocket wrote:the good thing about this season is that the two finals he lost have been non-ranking tournaments. Hong Kong basicially was more of an exhibition tournament and the CoC is just a poor mans masters event which he already won twice.

So it was quite easy to get over it. But this one would hurt me if he lost it. Its a big tournament and it would be his 30th ranker.

Hope Ronnie can find his A game and win it. But Trump is highly motivated, having lost 2 Finals here 10-9. I make Trump favourite, so hopefully Ronnie can surprise me and win it.

Don't be nervous Andre :) a week ago you didn't even care if he won a match here!

You've got it all wrong mate!

I said I didn't expect him to do well here having just returned from the CoC. I did say I'd much rather he won this one than the CoC.

I just thought he wouldn't do any favours by playing this one. Now that he's reached the Final, I badly want him to bank 150 grand and of course a 30th ranker.

Like TR said, Hong Kong and CoC finals are very easy to forget, non-rankers, but this one is only behind the Worlds and UK in terms of prize money, so it's a big tournament.

One thing that helps it that he's won this before, and that does make a diference. But still, Trump is favourite for me.

but if you want it, yes Trump leads 4-2.

No. We don’t it. It was a best of three armchairs.

If ye count them stupid CL matches for h2h which ye seem to do the final counts I'm afraid

It is possible and I wouldn't begrudge it at all.
However, I do believe Judd is a more complete player than ROD was at his age and (crucially) his development has been more rapid.
