Congratulations to Marco Fu!

Marco Fu won the Australian Open yesterday to notch his second ranking title. Shame for Neil Robertson that he lost the final in his homeland, but I have to congratulate Marco on a great tournament. I thought that, at the age of 35, his career was going nowhere fast - but there's life in the old dog yet

Having said that, Fu beat the following players to secure the title:

Neil Robertson
Robert Milkins
Dominic Dale
Shaun Murphy
Ken Doherty

Not the greatest of competition there. Robbo is a great scalp, but Murph isn't the player he used to be, Milkins is in the midst of a purple patch, and Dom and Ken are virtually OAPs now.

But let's not take away from Marco's fine victory  

Indeed, well done to him. I can't believe a) he's 35 and b) it's only his 2nd major title. For such a great player on his day, that's a really disappointing haul of titles. On saying that though, he's reached his fair share of finals. Beating THE man in-form Sir Neil Robertson is wonderful and here's to many more for the man :beer: The Aussies didn't have a great day on Sunday.
