Guys, I was drunk and elated the last time I posted here! I sinserely thought Ronnie would be a massive favourite against Selby this time. And there was the possibilty for this to happen. No need to go back discussing all the instances that led to 9:7. It is what it is and it is 9:7 Selby. But how about I am an unlucky predictor!? And what if I predict an easy Selby win now?! I am drunk again and I am as bad at predictions as it gets! Have a good night! Selby wins this....

TR was right earlier...
Only way Ronnie can somehow win this match is he scores heavily first chance he gets... he knows that if he misses he could be in for a long frame. Even if he wins that particular frame, his natural flow has gone down the toilet. It's added pressure that's why it will be very hard. In the last 2 matches, especially v MJW, he did recover when being behind, but Selby is different, he doesn't give an inch, you have to create your own chances, and he'll rarely leave you plum in the balls.
Ronnie needs his long game again like the 1st session to create as many chances he can. Otherwise Selby will always find a way to win.

Wilson and Ronnie have had the most centuries in the tournament. Not always, but many times the 2 players that score the most centuries reach the Final. Hopefully that's the case here.

Mcgill did well with that ton but seeing his run starting to fade away, doubt Kyren loses from here he's been getting stronger as the match went on, Kyren wins from here
5-3 must for Ronnie but unfortunately predicting a Selby win now, Ronnie will have to play flawless one visit snooker from here on, simply can't break down anymore, I assume this was Ronnie's bad session and can't play worse but it was a heavy 2-6 bad session

That 8th frame feels massive...
Even if Selby won the 2nd session like he did, the score would now be 8-8 instead of 9-7. Massive difference.

Yh it does now but still Ronnie was 5-2 up and the result so far is 9-7 that's a bad ratio of won/lost frames there, to only win 2 frames from the on it's just about damage limitation, Selby won 7/9 from 5-2 down.

Ronnie had chances in each frame. In fact he was perfect in the balls in almost every frame. But he struggled with cue ball control and missed quite a few very crucial recovery pots to the green and yellow pocket. No need to say, they have to all go in at this stage.

Someone expressed their love for Ronnie earlier in this thread and how it can't be compared to other sports. I must confess - I love football, Levski Sofia is a religion for me and Real Madrid is too special... Ohh, let's not forget - I adore Rafa Nadal! And still Ronnie O'Sullivan is something else. I grew up watching him and to this date he is the best sportsman I have ever seen! I just love the snooker dicussions here and all the arguments supportning both Ronnie and Selby, and Trump as well. I have all the emotions right now that are felt by his hardcore fans and all I can say is - hope is the last to die! Good luck Ronnie! The best ever!

interesting to note that this match can decide a difference between 1 and 3 world titles between Ronnie and Selby, lot at stake

Pretty much. Selby could also tie Higgins. Which would be a huge misrepresentation and a wrong reflection of their actual abilities. If there is a Snookergod out there he should do something about all this.

Dude, we don't need that kind of negativity, Ronnie has every chance of winning this match, and if he does, I can see him going on to win the title.

Agree, people will still consider Higgins and Ronnie the greater players Selby would have a long way to go for GOAT discussion with Hendry/Ronnie/Davis but there's that uncomfortable feeling of tying Higgins and being behind of 1 with Ronnie

I can see Wilson winning this tournament. He should finish McGill and then get some rest. The others will probably go deep in to the last session and that will give Wilson the advantage. Wilson's long game will be the decisive factor.
