Fair point , fu is a far bigger threat to Ronnie than Murphy.


I don't buy this bunny theory. The person who wins the match is The threat to Ronnie. The rest is supposition.

So by that logic Wasley is as much of a threat to Dom than Ding is right?

Fu on paper is tougher than Murphy, his record against Ronnie speaks for itself.

That would be unbelievable if it happened again.

Doubt it to be honest, Wasley will make things a bit interesting winning a few frames but I now cant see him winning this match.

If he wins the second session 5:3 he's still having a small chance. Anything above would be brillant but unlikely of course.

Records won't win matches at this years Worlds. If history was the perfect predictor of the future, we'd all be very rich. Records are there to be made or broken. Yeah, some players have an issue with other players, e.g. Ding v. Ronnie. Who's the bigger threat to Ronnie, Wasley or Ding? Everyone (except me) said Perry would be walkover for Ronnie because of the past when Perry wilted. I didn't see Joe wilt this match. Only a couple of centuries put him out. Know what I mean?

Well ignoring records, Fu is a better all round player, who's capable of matching Ronnie safety wise, yet can still score heavily enough to be a threat.

Ronnie can run rings around Shaun tactically, plus Murphy goes for a lot, and when one inevitably doesn't go in, it leaves the balls there for Ronnie.

But they were raving <laugh>

I can't believe how well Dom is playing so far, he only dropped 6 frames so far!

Lot of folk saying Dom will be out next round. I don't see it that way. No-one predicted Hawkins to be a finalist and no-one predicted Carter either. So if Doms in good nick, he could go a good run IMO.
