if he had been in a group of Murphy/higgins/trump or Robbo/ding/bingham he would have been dead meat by now

Murphy always bottles it against Ronnie.

At German Masters 2015 he didnt, and even the Premier League Final.

good call hendry

Hendry: "His first or second gear is still better than the A-game of... (takes his time) most of the players. (just avoided to say Martin Gould)

Clive had a sly jab at him earlier as well. He said 'the difference between Gould's best and his worse is.. larger than most top 30 players'.

That was savage. True, but savage.

So true.

Will be interesting to hear Ronnie's thoughts...

Knowing him he'll say he was rubbish, which he was at times, but on the whole played solid stuff today.

Ronnie did what he had to do today. Let's what he can bring against the big boys.

Where's Ronnie's trophy and winners cheque for winning the final this evening?

Ronnie has now won 10 out of 10 matches at the Champion of Champions.

Ronnie fans: who do you want Ronnie to play in the semis?

Doesn't matter if you have Foulds and McManus...

Allen my first choice

If not, then Selby.

Against Selby Ronnie will be automatically more focussed I think. Similar like how it was in the Masters.

It's no secret they can't stand each other , so the level of concentration and the will to win badly should be higher.

Agree.

The same happens when Ronnie plays Higgins, with the fact they are good friends.

True. Even though I probably wouldn't call them friends from what I see. More like rivals who just always had huge mutual respect. That's why Ronnie would never play like a Clown against him. Just too much respect.

against higgins he has lost more important matches than won actually (since 2006: masters final, WC QF, UK semis, Grand prix QF)

against he had also tough losse, but also some great wins (UK semi, 2 Masters finals)

ronnie has to beat higgins in one of the TCs that would be good for my heart rate

He had many painful defeats against Higgins. No doubt. He still won their most important meeting though. The 2001 WC final. Had Higgins won it, he'd be on 5 World titles and Ronnie on 4.

So when everything is done and both eventually retire at some point , we can say this famous match in 2001 has determined in the end that ROS will enter the history book as the superior player.
