2017 English Open

[Ramon]

Gteat match from 2 top players !!

Ronnie O'Sullivan, you are a genius.
the way he's cueing and strikes the ball / his timing and ........ it's just a great pleasure to watch this talent playing this game !

Hardly vintage Ronnie, quite a few unexpected misses and Jack actually got the highest breaks in frames 1 & 6. But a decent win all the same.

I sometimes feel he’s almost embarrassed when playing people he likes or knows. I’ve felt it this before when he’s played Ding. Kinda like the cat playing with the mouse getting a little bored then nature intervenes and he goes for the kill.

[I just want a ton!]

Watched live yesterday at Barnsley.
Enjoyed the day, 2 Ronnie matches, Trump match, Robertson, Kyren Wilson too.
Saw a lot of centuries.
In the Ronnie Higgins game, I don't know if you can make it out on the TV, but Higgins has a right shake on, in his cueing arm when he holds the back pause. Has anyone else noticed it?

So it's Wilson against O'Sullivan in the final tomorrow then, normally you would say "unless McGill has anything to say about that" but he seems to agree. Cracking match, first time I've seen Ursenbacher play, impressed.

Did he say something to this effect in an interview?

Great match the first semi final.*

Well , Alexander Ursenbacher is one of the surprises of this tournament. he played very well , imo.
We gonna hear this name again , that's for sure !!!

Yeah he said if he draws Ronnie he'll probably get beat, because Ronnie's been playing so well. I don't really think he's just going out expecting to lose though, he can't be.

Wow, what a thing to say. Reverse psychology?

Finish with a 100 break !!

Realy enjoyed this semi !!
2 top players . regardless of couple of* unnecessary mistakes.
Was quality snooker to watch.
Well played Sir Ronnie .

[Neil Taperell]

In a class of his own .

[jrc750]

McGill needs to practice his break off shots that's for sure

[Neil Taperell]

Agree , they were poor .

[cebs]

Strange he broke of poorly today, yesterday I am pretty sure he had his break off nailed and got the single red and had it covered or safe-ish.

Along with Judd in his matches, he was the only person I saw playing what Ronnie called a perfect break off in his video clips.

Still got to pot the long reds when left them and Ronnie's long game was great today, those two missed blacks could have cost him and but the brown that McGill missed after clearing up cost him dearly.

Nice to see Ronnie smiling afterwards in his interview and he brings his lad down tomorrow, be nice to see him win again.

Hopefully ronnie can win tomorow, long ranking drought, if he wins, i think if anyone can go on and win the 4 home based titles, and million bonus, its him
