Champion of Champions Snooker

great match! nice to see ronnie trighing this hard.

[Table_of_Reds]

Both players are a pair of bottleless chokers, O'Sullivan choked three times, Ding twice, Ding's choke happened to be the deciding one on this occasion. Whatever, O'Sullivan will be absolutely no problem for Robertson unless he puts in a great performance which happens about 1 time out of 10 these days. Robertson is too good, and not a choker. If he does happen to beat Robertson then Selby will just grind him out of the next match like always.

Oh man . I missed that match. How did the decider develop?

O'Sullivan left a red to the middle on his break-off, but the white was tight on the baulk cushion. Ding got it anyway, then took the loose reds for 50-0. He missed the split and had to play safe.

O'Sullivan then played a great safety to force a mistake and cleared the remaining reds, including a difficult one near the black cushion and another one on the side cushion. He had the colours on their spots for the match and was perfectly on the yellow, only to overscrew from green to brown and leave himself a shot with the rest. The brown just wobbled in, but he left himself a tricky blue to the corner and missed it by a mile.

Ding then got a tremendous snooker behind the black and left the blue in baulk. O'Sullivan hit it, but left a possible shot to the middle at a tight angle. Ding missed it, leaving O'Sullivan a pot from mid-range. O'Sullivan missed it, leaving Ding another pot to the middle with the white near the jaws of the yellow pocket. Ding missed it, and this was the final miss of this exchange, as he left O'Sullivan a sitter for the match. He then played on for a snooker on the pink, but fouled the black himself. :wink:

What a nervy finish in the end. :smile: O'Sullivan did so well to get back into the frame, only to bottle a simple colour clearance. Then Ding played that excellent snooker behind the black, which will probably be forgotten now that he lost. And finally O'Sullivan is left with a sitter after a couple of misses from both players. Not sure how he survived these last three frames... :smile:

Can't believe Ding missed his two chances on the blue after Ronnie blew it with the position on the brown... I'd say his favorite to win the tournament now as he can't play worse than he played today.

That was the nuts by ron. He brushed himself down 3 time and fort on. Coming into his own..

Decider, c'mon Ronnie

How is it going for ronnie? Cannot watch it.

Just about to force the decider on his third or fourth scoring visit in the frame. The first he got with a fluke again, the others with good pots from distance, but he wasted the first couple with poor positional shots. 5-5. :wink:
