You're right SO but nevertheless he looks a little bit nervy out there but I mean, at the end it doesn't matter, just win the frames, no matter how.
Yeah that's the most important thing.
And he always looks rusty in opening rounds of the Worlds, he'l improve when asked.

Yeah I agree Wild.
Last year many including me were refering to that a bit too much, but yeah it has sod to do with the tourney itself.

Ronnie rarely seems to lose more than 2 frames in a row nowadays. He has become such a superb match player these last couple of years. He only lost one session at the Crucible for two years now.

Yeah absoutely SO.
As I said, he'll improve when asked, but it's not as if he's been awful to lead 9-4, he has just missed a few that you obviosuly expect from a first round.

He's said before that he sometimes lacks motivation to do what he is capable of. I think when it gets a bit pedestrian, or scrappy and he's in front, he switches off a little, not a lot, but enough to give the other guy a chance. I wonder if he likes early to bed, early to rise and running in the morning. Is he turning into an afternoon player?

It's funny actually because before he took Running seriously he couldn't play well in morning and afternoon sessions, but now it's the opposite in fact, and I'm glad because he will have a lot of afternoon sessions along this tournament.

Anyone watching Carter match? How's he playing to be leading 3-1?
Cmon Ronnie, finish this quick so I can focus on Ali's match.

Same thing happened to me. I wrote a Ph.D. in the evenings/night but these days, mornings are ok, whereas before they were merely for contemplation, and afternoons are the best. I'd much rather play snooker before dinner than after it now. Age!
I think he does the school run as well, and that's a 7am start.

Well, not vintage Ronnie but he didn't have to.
He'll improve as the tourney goes on, like he always does.
A word also goes for Hull, after his health problems it's amazing he managed to reach the Crucible, but was unfortunate to run into the heavy favourite here.
I do hope Hull continues to play well and reach venue stages, he's a good player and a good breakbuilder.

At times Ronnie looked very strong , at times a little bit nervy but overall I'd say it was allright. Indeed, a little bit like last year. I guess, he will be getting stronger with every session now.
Now to the Carter match.

I'm sure Robin Hull will appreciate you patronising him.

Hull has shown good character, but chanceless against a well playing Ronnie in the Eve season. Though, he was stronger this morning.
On the other table, the Captain has to turn in some effort. It's not so impressive so far.

But it's true nevertheless.

Has Xiao given Ali many chances or has Ali really played well like he usually does here?

Looks like Carter has come to play. For me he is favourite to beat Selby in the next round, if they meet.

Carter certainly has a chance of reaching the final. He's like a completely different player every time he plays here at the Crucible. I just can't quite understand why can't play like this in all the other tournaments.

I won't say the favourite but unlike many say I think he has a great chance of beating Selby, and I hope he does.

Ronnie wins his first round match 10-4 just like in 2012 and 2013. Patterns?!

His health problems are well documented. Maybe that's a reason why he doesn't do well consistently. That said, it's not like he hasn't won elsewhere.
