You might be surprised by 8-0.

Selby is winning this and is going to annihilate O'sullivan if he reaches the QF.

What an idiotic post, expected from a clown. Love it when people keep doubting Selby for no reason.

That post definitely came back and bit Granite in the bottom.

Granite is suspiciously 'fake' to be honest...

This is basically a warm-up match for Ronnie.

Rip. pang’s dressing room

4-0 Rocket

Don’t have Madri

What are you - a lunatic?

This is easy for Ronnie

I haven't been watching the matches, but I get the impression that Ronnie is not creating his own chances so much as he is "getting in" off of opponents' mistakes. That can work in the early rounds, but might not be good enough to beat Xintong or the winner of the bottom half of the draw...

13-4 Pang incoming...?

He will adapt and up his game when needed. Just using these easy matches to get used to the new cue.

Doesn’t mean he’s doing rubbish. I’ve said pretty much the same thing about Ding in every match for the last 5 years.

John Parris will not be happy if Ronnie wins the eight with a non-Parris cue.

Yeah covered in gravy

Century for Pang, he trails 1-4

I guess I should have made more of a meal of that, as it was quite an exciting event in the match.

I'll rephrase.

Ponderous Pang gets a serene century and now ambles behind Ronnie just 1-4.

Worrying signs for Ronnie fans.

To be fair, we've got this whole new cue crap going on with Ronnie like we did with Selby. Ronnie's shanking his long pots like a drunk at the club and missing the proverbial barn door by quite some distance. But he's ok in amongst.

Ronnie far from his best he will give bucket load of chances Pang Just has to take them

I just Googled what cue Ronnis is using now.

Apparently it's from a Thailand cue maker called Ton Praram III.

I've never heard of them before, but that's nothing new.

Nice table :
