9-5

this frame will get to ronnie believe me

[brusque]

so get ready guys .. come back starts now ... i cant see anything other than that considering how mediocre RoS is and has been all day long

[Ronnie's tip]

ROS has had a stinker of a frame there. Lost against a guy who didn't even try!

Prediction: Trump will knock in a crazy long one in the next frame.

it sounds funny but this frame could spur a comeback on

ronnie missed half chances and that will annoy him

I can be quite pessimistic myself at times, but there is no need for it here. No chance in hell of any comebacks. :wink:

This is reminiscent of when Ding imploded against Ronnie.

[Ronnie's tip]

Judd has given up.

ROS needs to take it quick before he cares so little, he plays well.

[statto]

Ronnie reacts far better to bad luck than Judd does. When Ronnie gets a nasty kick he just laughs it off (and sometimes ignores it completely, which is why untrained observers may assume he gets less kicks than other players). Conversely, Trump looks like the world is against him when it happens to him.

Judd has also made poor tactical choices, and in at least four frames has gone for low percentage shots from commanding positions which have allowed Ronnie back into the frame.

IMO it's these factors that have allowed Ronnie to run away with it in spite of playing his B game.

[Masterdoctorgenius]

just win the frame

it will only frustrate ronnie

[cyberheater]

judd going for everything now

Desperately trying to make things happen.

[Ronnie's tip]

Do either want to win this frame?

[zombieman]

Has it been mentioned as to why Ronnie is breaking off left-handed all of the time. He seems to have been leaving a 'shot on' everytime that he does this.

He said his reason is that playing the shot left handed forces him to concentrate more.

[Odrl]

Even when the luck turns massively in Trump's favour the result is still the same. Whenever there is some mid-frame safety with only a couple of reds left, O'Sullivan looks by far the stronger player, just like he did against Ding in Newport. :wink:

[Masterdoctorgenius]

a fluke was the only way Jud could win a frame n he could not even do that .... what a high standard .... RoS must be chuckling inside

ronnie created an aura which scares people except higgins, selby and maybe neil. and he deserves it
