Thanks CC, I’ve got a ticket for Steve as well . If my mate pulls out again Steve can steal his seat like you did last year . I’m in the paupers seats this time though

Nobody excited about Ronnie v Williams this afternoon? I think it's been 9 years since Mark beat him in anything significant, a terrible record for such a class player. Is there any reason to expect anything different today? I doubt it, reckon he'll be looking for another pair of boxers by the interval.

I surely am. Not as excited as about last year's meeting of MJW and JH, nevertheless quite excited. I'm just hoping Mark will bring some form. A possible meeting of Ronnie and Jack in the semis sounds quite promising, too...but we'll see about that.

By the way, I did find Judd's fist pumping after yesterday's match vs RD quite cringeworthy... he won solely by Ryan's grace, for the lack of a better term.

Well yes, that's one way of putting it.

As always Ronnie seems to be able to adapt to the still somewhat funky table conditions far better than his opponent... that's one big part of his genius.

[neuronic]

...looks like Mark has adapted now, too

Great to watch.

Missed the match after 3-0. I thought it was over. When I tuned back in it was 4-4. Well, MJW has totally deserved this win.

The cucumber arrived late to the party, but boy did he party hard when he arrived. Nice one.

What a match

[PatBlock]

Never in doubt. Was Ronnie's last shot, the missed black, a kick?

Didn't look like it to me. He was under pressure I reckon.

Great to see MJW get one over on Ronnie, well deserved win and an absolute classic. 👏👏👏

OK thanks mate. Was a surprising miss, as you say probably pressure but I expected him to get it.
