He should have been 4-0 down. To get out of there at 5-5 is an excellent result.

Ronnie has said he doesn't mind losing if he had played well or didnt have chances. whats snake hissing off Ronnie is hes not killing off frames that where his unhappiness stems from.

ive seen him come off winning 6-2 or 9-5 and looking snake hissed off.

its good to see that a rusty Ronnie who is nowhere near his best still beat players like Wilson,Robertson and now he is in with a good chance to win against a confident Murphy who's been looking like a much better player than last season.

That's what I'm thinking. It seems Ronnie's B-game is still good enough to beat a lot of top players.

This has been more like his C or D game.

It is. Its probably only a handful of players where he really needs to play his A-game imo. Players like Trump,Selby,Higgins.

+ on rare occasions you obviously also need it against journeymen who play the matches of their life.

Yeah was a funny match that. Murphy made two one visit breaks in the first two frames. Then he was about to make it 3:0. ROS needed a Snooker which he got and won the frame. From then on Murphy was already a beaten man.

Their only good match at the Crucible was the one in 2011. ROS was 12:8 ahead, missed an easy yellow and Murphy started a little comeback. Made it 10:12 and was a few balls away from making it 11:12. He missed and ROS made a good pressure clearance to win on the black.

Just saw the last 2 frames.
From what I see, espacially in frame 9, I'm not sure both players have the level to play the UK Women's Snooker Championship.

At 5-5, I see Ronnie running away with it in the second session.

Murphy needed it to be 6-4 and to then to win frame 11.

Often, if you don't take advantage of Ronnie when he's playing like a mug, he doesn't extend you the courtesy of keep playing that way.

Terrible miss on the pink from Ronnie. If Murphy can't win this frame he's in trouble.

Re: Shanghai Masters Final !!!

Postby Ash147

Poor start from Ronnie, but it was exactly what I was expecting. He doesn't look anywhere near good enough to win this final.
