Ronnie lives in Broadway Market now, Shoreditch, 5 mins walk from me, so the Masters is his home event.
I look in his windows sometimes

The standard is just excellent in the Ronnie-Milkins match. 3 centuries, 2 Ronnie, 1 Milkins. Both just in a few minutes. Ronnie one century away from the 800th.

Didn't post here because I was just enjoying this masterclass from both players.
Ronnie's 800th ton will surely come this "tournament" now.

but 3 frames he won 2 centuries and one 90+ break. as he has never taken a break.
Is this what you enjoy then MDG?
But the way you speak sometimes it seems you always expect a ton from Ronnie every frame, the game isn't as easy as that.

Anyway, match over in 40 minutes, almost 4 tons in 4 frames, pity Ronnie's last break ended on 95.
Still has to play Hawkins at 4 o'clock ish, but he's already more than assured Playoffs place.

That's slightly sinister, actually.
Are you out there with some binoculars, and a box of doughnuts?
Ps. You don't have Michaela Tabb's address, do you?

I was corrected a few years back by somebody who was originally from the area, that Ronnie O'Sullivan was born in Wordsley in the West Midlands. I don't think he was raised there, but I mentioned that he was from Chigwell, ad was corrected very vehemently. He was born closer to Birmingham than he was to London.

It's really good to see ROS still being capable of producing the kind of standard we all want to see from him. Whether he'll be producing it in the Masters and the World is a different thing but the man is still capable of achieving big things.

I wouldn't worry, Andy. To celebrate the milestone, the BBC will mention it 800 times next week.
Nah, just joking. Big achievement for Ronnie. Nowt stopping him getting to 1000.

Higgins and Day both out of the event.
Hawkins finishes 5th so will come back for Group 2.

Definitely the best breakbuilder ever, ahead of Hendry.
