I disagree. I think he was second favourite after Ding won three frames in a row to go 4-3.

You're wrong.


Maybe. All the momentum was with Ding at that point, and Ronnie wasn’t looking as good as he did before the interval.


frames on the board is much more important than 'momentum'. o'sullivan is a significantly better player and is more likely to win two frames before ding wins three.

Ronnie was favourite pre-match, he'll either win or he won't.

Ronnie been Favorite in this Match before they won the 1st round or Quarters and nothing has changed during the match. some people expect too much. Snooker players miss pots they miss position and they miss judge safeties ronnie no different.

That seems to surprise you, when it was very likely this was going to happen.


It surprises me because of the way he played in the middle part of the match.

That was really nice to see.

I think Ronnie instinctively knows the importance of encouraging these key overseas players and gets to know them as people.

This is Ronnie's chance to win all the 3 majors in one season. Obviously the Crucible will be the hardest of them all.


No doubt. I've said it a few times. This is his best chance. Huge match tomorrow. Can't afford to lose that one.
