Welsh Open Feb 16-22, 2015

Ron said in a BBC interview yesterday that 'you just have to laugh it off and not take it too serious'.

Looks to me like he's taking it very serious

[Mr Snooker]

Gary Wilson first player through to the last 16, beats Joe Perry 4 frames to 2 and plays the winner of the next match on the main table between Neil Robertson And Jamie Cope, that win will do Gary's main tour place for next season good as well, should get him into the top 64

So a decider. I sense Stevens could do this. He really wants it.

[daffie]

Very good reply from Matthew to pinch the 6th frame...a decider it is.

[streamer45]

That was utterly unexpected.

[daffie]

Very well done Stevens! Sends the rocket back home...I guess Ron's fine with that.

[cyberheater]

I thought Stevens might win. It was pretty close though.

As you said daffie. I don't think Ronnie was that bothered.

[ghost121]

Totally expected. Ronnie has looked like he wants to be anywhere but Cardiff all week.

[billabong]

What were the odds on Stevens winning ?

[PatBlock]

What were the odds on Stevens winning ?

Yes, I was wondering about that as well. Good to see Matthew through though.

strange performance from ronnie, awful match in general

[robertmac]

Yes O'Sullivan wasnt happy with the venue and it
showed in his attitude and play. He has been doing
a fair bit of complaining about several venues so its
not surprising but he let this tournament bother him
a lot.
Mark Allen is also out.

just 2 months before the world championship and it doesn't look good for the rocket....

They both missed a few, but it was still quite entertaining to watch, with a couple of frames going down to the colours. O'Sullivan did really well to get himself into a position to clear from behind three times, but he only managed it once. That yellow was particularly surprising. :smile:

I think you'll see a very different player then.
