Thought I would be saying YU THE MAN and having a go at GJ, but anyway <laugh>

Didn't see the whole of the match, but it sounds like it was a struggle for both players, but still every credit for Yu to just keep hanging on and almost beating Robbo.

Robbo 3rd sucessive 5-4 victory, no tons still. :-D

I'd like him to reach the Crucible with those 8 left, that will make him score heavily there and needing to have a deep run at the Worlds.

Robbo hasn't made a semi since the new year so needed a confidence boosting run this week.

He had played far more snooker this time last year so its completely different this time.

I'd laugh if Ronnie ended the season with a better century rate than Robertson.

And I think he will win, Ding not the same player he was when he was winning sucesive rankers this season.

But having said that I really hope Ding wins this match, and if he does i can really see him go on to win this tournament, a fitting achievement it would be giving it was his first ranker as a teenager back in 2005 and it would mean he would level Hendry on 5 rankers won in a season. :hatoff:

1 or 2 seasons ago we were talking about it was very very difficult for even someone to win back to back rankers, and look at what Ding has done this season <laugh> :hatoff:

Robertson played 108 matches and 723 frames this season, making 92 centuries.
0.85 centuries per match; 7.86 frames per century

Ronnie played 54 matches and 358 frames this season, making 40 centuries.
0.74 centuries per match; 8.95 frames per century

Ronnie won't catch him.
