Hates? Surely you mean fears?


I used to be fear, now hatred has overtaken.

Hate/dislike would help him though, wouldn't it? It certainly did against Judd.

Indeed it was, but when Carter got in he took his chances, I thought he might actually get a little closer, it just seems once Ronnie gets within a few frames of the winning post he seems to accelarate ahead, something that only a few players can do, and in the end he looked very very good.

If he can kee the sort of form he played in this session, no one will beat him and he'll become 5 times World Champion.

But believe me Bingham won't be easy, expect a close one.

Just out of interest who thinks he can do it again this year?

There's a certain vibe surrounding him, very similar to last year, a lot of big players have gone out, only a couple of real contenders left in the tounament, and he seems to be picking up some good form at the right time.

Trump, IMO, is the only one with the confidence to stop him, he's looks very good so far.

I'd go with that. Trump is the guy Ronnie should be most worried about.


I want a Ding vs Judd final personally.

Yeah, all depends on whether the occasion gets to Bingham, he's extremely capable but it's whether he can raise his game in a big match, he's beaten Ronnie before so it could be a tester.
