Ronnie was quite fortunate to win this match, what a nail biter regardless. Sad to see Akani lose, didnt seem deserved but what an impression hes left.

[PatBlock]

Superb match, hard luck sunny.

Never in doubt!....

[VillaGuy]

We'll be seeing more of sunny in the future no doubt, what a great match. Have to say thought the Higgins king game was even more thrilling, what a great few nights in York

Amazing match. Akani deserved to win it to be honest. Feels a bit like when Wenbo missed that red to beat him at last years Masters, only this was lost partly (mainly?) due to horrific bad luck.

Match of the season? Has to be up there. How old is Akani btw? He seemed like such a genuinely nice guy.

22 years old
And self taught
And I hope we see more of him at the end of events

Lol! Nice one.

This match has created more TSF posts than I've seen in some time! Great for snooker.

I went out to play snooker and missed most of that, caught the decider and the end of the frame before, unlucky doesn't really cover it. Looks like I missed a cracker.

Do we get some proper length matches tomorrow then?

What a likeable guy Sunny Akani is and found a fan here.

[VillaGuy]

Shame there was no after match interviews on the red button, I wonder what the players thought of the màtch

Proper as in longer than best-of-11? I'm afraid not. :smile:

Eurosport had both ROS and Akani together back stage interviewed.
Very complementary to each other and very good.
