Anyone know why Ronnie hasn’t got a sponsor?

doesn't need the money?
school fees all paid up now

Considering he only plays in certain Chinese tournaments when sponsors (allegedly) pay him to appear, I doubt that’s the reason.

of course my comment was tongue in cheek

seriously thought maybe dafabet themselves are sponsoring him for this event?

That went through my head but that would be on his waistcoat anyway, be interesting to see if he’s got a sponsor at the next tournament

Tough to play any better than O'Sullivan did in these first four frames. He played some great safety, potted almost everything from distance, and scored as well as always. Things will have to change quite dramatically for Ding to come back in the second half of the match now. :smile:

Brilliant 4 frames from O'Sullivan. Truely brilliant snooker

Wow that was good to watch

What a break by Ding. Shame he missed the maxi!

The 15th black was just phenomenal.

Well, that turned into quite a good match in the end. Too bad Ding couldn't take one of the chances to make it 4-4, I bet things would have gone very nervy from there. :smile:

Looking forward to tonight now. :smile:

What a fascinating interview from Ronnie, quite emotional and very frank. I especially liked the point about the pressure of concentration, how hard that is to maintain and the fact of feeling slightly "punchy" after all these years of fighting to win. Brilliant.

I've never found it hard to understand Hendrys retirement, and I think Ronnie will retire when that "bottle" and concentration can't hack it anymore. His talent will always be there but it's his ability to play the winning shots under immense pressure that make him win so much.

[fkhan]

Any guesses on who would make the 147th 147?

[fkhan]

I fancy Judd to make it to the final. But Neil will surely give a good fight.
