Nice to see an European Ref from the usual PTCs at a Big event like this, about time
Pity it weren't that blonde bird.
Who?
Proletina Velichkova? Or maybe Desislava Bozhilova? Or even Anastasia Tuzikova? Or even Monika Sulkowska?
Don't ask me how I know their names, it's a secret

That's weak. Whoever gets through will be in good form, so Ronnie will naturally be wary, even of Walden in the first round. The good news is that every player fears Ronnie more than any player in history.
I know that, any player here is capable of winning the tournament on a good week, Milkins and Perry probably an exception.
Milkins and Perry have bottled before, but who's to say they can't come good and win it? Paul Hunter proved that perseverance persists.

I quite like Perry.
He ain't going to win The Masters three times though.

Ok, I respect your point.
But folks know Milkins and he's a good chap and phenomenal player. We just don't see it from him on the big stage.

Milkins has been doing alright to be fair. He's just a player you won't think much of, unless you watch a lot of snooker.

Currently Bingham is a bigger threat to Ronnie than Fu.

I know, sometimes matches which on paper arent great end up being great ones, but so far this one hasnt been.

Bingham ain't looked a threat to Fu yet, let alone Ronnie.

Thats why I prefer Fu, but whoever wins will be tough for Ronnie if he comes through Walden that is.

Walden as you said on another thread SO has lost his momentum since winning the IC, poor runs in UK and not qualified for the German Masters.

Trump v. Ronnie would be so funny, to see all the Selby crew supporting Judd, a man they love to hate, simply because they hate Ronnie more. It's so funny when they get desperate.

The reverse is also true if Ronnie loses early and others face Selby, but I know what you mean.

Bingo's fore-arm drifted out on the pot attempt, not cueing dead straight.

Fu is a nice player to watch when in amongst them, rarely runs out of position when playing well, lovely to watch. He's just too damn inconsistent though.

It's his lack of cue action that is to blame, it's a major weakness. Every coach would question it. I don't know why he's never done anything about it, why handicap yourself? Ronnie is constantly trying new things, new tips, new cues, new techniques. He changes over time, yet others persist in weak technique. I find it bizarre, with so much at stake.

Fu can beat anybody on his day. I just wish it was his day more often.
