It's not as big an achievement as it is being made out to be. It's good, but not that good. And to celebrate like that is just ridiculous. If he loses the match, he will look ridiculous.
Would have, could have, should have
A max is 'only' 36 shots. 100 tons is at least 2600 shots.
No, not "could have". It is only recently that it's been possible. In Hendry's day, and when Ronnie entered more tournaments, there were like 6-9 ranking events a year and that was your lot. Not league and 50 PTC events and other nonsense.
The true gauge is the crucible. Ronnie and hendry making 100 at the crucible is a much better achievement, but no hoo-ha gets made of it. I am not saying Robbo's achievement isn't good, it is, but in context of break building milestones, it's not near what Hendry and Ronnie have done. The context is, Robbo has entered FAR more frames.
