Some of the pots O'Sullivan has got in this match have been amazing. But that blue was just one too many, what a clearance that would have been... :smile:

And another one, a candidate for the shot of the tournament.
Actually, it's been his breakbuilding that has taken a step back at times in this tournament, I'd say. He has struggled with cannon shots in the last two mini sessions, getting stuck past around 40 points multiple times.

Barry surely not unlucky there.

Nice pot Ronnie.

[attilahun]

What do you mean? Of course that was his fault...

Good...i can understand people try to make excuses for Barry's misses but let's be honest..its the same table and the same balls for Barry and for Ronnie......Barry gets more kicks because his cue action is not that smooth as Ronnie's......

Wow, what a let off now. Just when the frame looked set to be over..

[Masterdoctorgenius]

let off.
ronnie missing some key balls. potted some good ones. and than after all the hard work the last difficult shot

[vilkrang]

Would have really had his foot on Barry's throat if he'd pinched that one.

[brusque]

What a clearance that would have been but Ronnie fell at the final hurdle .. still scary to see him turn it on just for fun anytime he wants to

[Dani]

That was a bit too much Ronnie...

[montoya10]

Brilliant pot from Barry, but he couldn't follow up, that was bad luck.
Ronnie still in with a chance for a steal.

[culraven]

Anyone else think Barry Hawkins looks like Pob?

[Odrl]

What about that miss on the pink ? Surely that was not Barry's fault....

What do you mean? Of course that was his fault...

[Dani]

Ronnie will need to improve his safety if he gets to the final.

[attilahun]

They are not really "excuses" though, they are legitimate reasons why Hawkins lost that frame. He had two great chances in the balls and broke down without making a mistake himself. :wink:

Here is another chance...

[Odrl]

I'm sick of all the excuses they're making for Barry. If it's not a kick then it's the "unlucky" plant or the weird bounce off the cushion. Stop making excuses!
