I had to grin at the woman running up to Ronnie after his match, draping a t-shirt over her chest for him to sign. Looks like such a tough old life being a pro snooker player

That he did

[P.Smith]

Today's Robertson & O'Sullivan losses prove that 'best-of-7' format is a horrible format for top players. It gives opportunities for low-class players.

I don't like best of 7's either, but it was plain to see that Robbo did not deserve to get through after the performance he put in and Ronnie was outplayed by Holt.

Just call it like it is rather than blame the format.

I agree completely, Ive alway said the best of 7 format is any mans game. The better player always comes out on top in the longer matches but every credit to Holt, played some really good stuff.

I agree. The number of frames shouldn't matter. The heavyweights of this game should be able to handle any format.

Williams having plenty of Chances but not taking them! pushing the boat out way too much these days and hes right he wont win another tourny if he keeps doing that!

I have Ding to Win Tourny as its about time he showed up surely.



Gaz.

So I missed the Williams match? Typical! The few times they bother covering his games these days I end up missing through other commitments.

Anyway, did he win?

No, he barely turned up. Lost 4 - 1.

Ah, well. If he's not bothered it's hard for me to be.

Thanks.
