2017 World Championship - Main Event

Am I the only one who remembers Rory McLeod making three centuries in three frames against Ronnie in the UK? He did lose the match, but it was pretty impressive. http://cuetracker.net/head-to-head/r...nnie-osullivan

I remember that one as well.

[Rane]

One of those rare chances on the Robertson table where there is a free ball first shot, making a chance possible for more than 147. That'd be amazing

Absolutely, a 16 red clearance has been made at the Cruicible, ended at 141 as far as I remember. See below

This was in 2012, when Selby lost in the first round to Barry Hawkins.

Wow, was is that long ago, only seemed like a couple of years!

[Rane]

Things have really changed . It´s not that many years ago there was an article everytime a milestone was reached Neil Robertson reached 500 centuries today as only the fourth player.

I remember back in the Dr Martens premier league around 1998 Mark-Johnston-Allen saying he believed they were heading into the realms of 148 upto 155. A 155 takes so many things to be going for you including an unlikely snooker with 15 reds on the table, getting a free ball, potting it, getting the black and splitting the pack to make a 147. I doubt we'll see a televised one for maybe another 10-20 years.

Worked out well for crowd and trump/mcleod, they are on quite early

[JimMalone]

So the tournament is over for Wales.

Good performance by Xiao. Next round will be pretty tough for him though.

My audacious prediction is: Trump winning the match and scoring two centuries. But I would not mind seeing him go out now.

I have sacrificed a Goat to the God Imhotep in the hopes he goes out.

Ok. This sounds even more plausible than the injury explanation. Thanks for letting us know!

Imhotep was an Egyptian architect not a god lol, talk about waste of sacrifice...

Has Tom Ford forgotten his bow tie or has been excused of wearing one for some reason?

He and Stephen Maguire have a medical certificate that they don't have to wear a bow tie.
