Regardless of world ranking (unless it's 1 or 2), the world champion is ranked 2nd in all events all season next season.
Frozen at 2nd for all tournaments? No wonder Ronnie wants to quit the rest of the season.. Very Happy

In the Robbo v Ronnie clash I said Ro would win and I was right. Today, I'll say the guy from Essex will win.

How's that fence going for you TSC?

Anyway, here we go. Doubt anyone will get a crucial lead this session, for me it's all about sessions 2 and 3. If Ronnie pulls away as he did against Stevens then that's that. If Carter stays close, Ronnie may, just may, get a bit frustrated.

So a cagey start it's fair to say. Ronnie made a nice 60odd break, and Ali had a half-chance to upset him, but couldn't take it. 1-0 O'Sullivan.

This final looks like being another of those huge one-sided affairs. With the way O'Sullivan is playing, he could win this match 18-3.

Lovely piece on Alex Higgins during the MSI. I am sometimes a little guilty of forgetting just how good he actually was.

Ronnie hasn't had to work hard tactically during the last 2 weeks. Carter is causing him a lot of problems.

I can see Ali being ahead 9-7 tonight

Oh don't get me wrong. I think Ronnie can easily make a comeback. I just think Carter is such a great counter puncher, that Ronnie won't streak ahead.

He is a quality player TwisT, possibly the best i have seen. Alli has done really well this worlds and i agree with you that Ronnie wont streak away.

Ronnie has more chance of getting in via a long pot, and scoring heavily. But Carter I think has the edge in tactical battles and grinding out a frame.

I mean it is 2-2 at the mo...not really dazzling snooker, hence the scoreline.

May look boring, but keeping it tight is the best way to beat Ronnie. He starts to push the boat out too much then.

Indeed it is.

He's not had a bad session in the grey shirt. Lucky charm. I think he'll be superstitous of it. As I said earlier, John Higgins always wears white socks to the Crucible.
