Come on Ronnie ffs

[JonnyZeroFox]

Finally woke up a bit there. Was unfortunate in a couple towards the end last session, but started poorly in this session

Higgins v O'Sullivan in the 2nd round will be tasty! 

Wasn't wrong! 

 

Ronnie should have punished Higgins more in the first two sessions when he was the much better player. That's where he's fallen short this match.

booooooo boring

Bad etiquette by O'Sullivan at the end there

[RowlattsFox]

Not watched any this afternoon unfortunately but didn't see Higgins coming back, Ronnie looked in good form and seemed to have his focus back. But shows difficulty of keeping coming back for another session. Happy he's out.

 

Selby struggles with consistency in these long matches these days. Going to have be special from him to win this. 

 

[EastAnglianFox]

Typical Ronnie making it about him at the end....see ya melt!!

 

Only 2 snookers required wasn't it?

When Higgins just about got over the line but was still at the table O'Sullivan conceded rather that let Higgins continue the clearance as per tradition. Not crime of the century but not not good form.

[The Bear]

The.... 

 

 

 

OUT! 

 

Great effort by Wu Yize. That was very un-Sellby like at the end there.

At least our Cricket team seem to be doing well  

 

A tough ask, but would love to see Wu Yize make the final from the bottom half.

I've noticed that happen a few times recently with various players.

Yes. I remember one of the commentators (can't recall who) that it is really not the done thing. Mind not on the same level at the Chelsea keeper pretending to be injured.

[isaidno]

Trump in a lot of trouble.

[Lionator]

Come on Hossein!

[Lionator]

Who’s the slightly northern sounding commentator in this Trump match?

Decent, seems insightful.

[Lionator]

These last two breaks have been absolutely brilliant. Trump destroyed by the Iranian!

[Nalis]

Trump, Ronnie and Selby all out on the same day.

 

6 different nationalities in quarters must be a record?

[RowlattsFox]

Something about Vafaei i can't warm too but great win from him. 

 

[kingfox]

Very impressed with Vafaei tonight, he seemed so focused and determined not to lose that match, he’s had a dreadful season, but seems something has clicked over the past month. 
 

If nerves don’t get the better of them, Vafaei vs Wu should be a fun one.

Trump doesn’t seem to have a great record at the World championships considering his usual ability .

Higgins not giving Ronnie much of a game so far, although Ronnie is looking in pretty good knick. 

Seems to have a difference focus to what I've seen from him in the last few years. 

This didn't age so well.
