Just a stunning unbelievable frame steal. Honestly. I really can't believe what my eyes are seeing.

[Holden Chinaski]

A genius with a cue. Amazing stuff.

Unbelievable comeback break. Ronnie can clear the table out of thin air. I've never seen anyone come close to this level.

[Ronnie's tip]

What happened in the previous frame?

It's now on the BBC, if anyone's interested: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/snooker/26327179

This is a better performance than the game against Walden at the masters. Its quite simply snooker played at the highest ever level. Ronnie has mastered the game.

Great clearance from O'Sullivan, tough to see Hawkins coming back from this... He was a ball away from winning this frame, and a couple of balls away from winning the 2nd, so it could have been 3-3, but I'm sure that's no consolation to him now. :smile:

I often think where ROS would be if he had Dr Peters 15 years ago.

He lost his head in the 2005 + 2006 WC and lost to the winner both times (1/4 and 1/2). You'd probably say he'd have won both of them. He also bottled the 2009 WC 1/4 final vs Selby but Higgins played really well that year so...

He lost to Ebdon in 2005, and Ebdon ended up losing to Murphy in the semi-finals. In 2009 he lost to Mark Allen in the 2nd round. :wink:

I nearly forgotten that Ronnie's human. Lol

[Ronnie's tip]

He lost to Ebdon in 2005, and Ebdon ended up losing to Murphy in the semi-finals. In 2009 he lost to Mark Allen in the 2nd round. :wink:

Ahhh yes. He lost to Selby in 2010, not 2009. I thought my memory was quite good until now!

[Dr_Doctor]

I think I've seen enough of this. Finish him off Ronnie so we can get to the Ding vs Ronnie final!

[Holden Chinaski]

Its not over yet. Barry is a fighter.

[Dr_Doctor]

Well done Hawkins. I didn't expect that.

[cyberheater]

Barry is another left handed player that uses the rest with his right hand. I do find that very strange.

[Dr_Doctor]

Well. This is a different Ronnie. Lol

[Masterdoctorgenius]

Its not over yet. Barry is a fighter.

and also a bottler, remember the masters match against walden
