There have been a few times this afternoon where Ronnie got rather frustrated with his himself! Good to see though as it show's how much he wants to play well and how serious he is taking the championship and his opponent

Wenbo is like alot of youngsters, he relies on potting his way out of trouble. Which will work in the lower stages, but not when it gets closer to the win.You play a long slow deadweight red to a corner pocket. As it approaches the pocket, a kamikaze woodlouse crawls out from under the cushion and makes its way across the table, conflicting with the path of the red precisely at the point the red gets there. The red, needless to say, veers off course, and the future of the woodlouse is uncertain. - The Statman

Frames 1 and 2: unplayable Wenbo, non-scoring Ronnie. (I would probably have created misunderstandings if I had written "pointless Ronnie".)
Frames 3-5: Ronnie settling down, resorting to some decent if not really good safeties and getting a few long ones.
Frame 6-7: missed red along the cushion by Ronnie when in the balls, momentum change, frustration, a more exact Wenbo and 4-3.
Frame 8: just nerves from Liang prevented a 5-3 scoreline.
I don't know about tomorrow morning but I strongly favour Liang. He has already played two morning sessions and won them both convincingly; on the other hand, we all know how counter-productive Ronnie is during morning sessions.S.P.I.L.F.

Different style and approach compared to his China match.I saw that going differently in my mind

The momentum has completely left Perry, and he's missing quite a lot now. Maguire is still not able to boss the table completely, the frames are rather long-winded (or 'for connaisseurs' as they say).
Sesh result: Maguire v Perry 4-4Das war ein FLUKE! Ein Glückstreffer!

Wenbo is the sort of player who could beat Ronnie, but then struggle against players like Hendry, Carter and Ebdon.
But I still think Ronnie will beat him.You play a long slow deadweight red to a corner pocket. As it approaches the pocket, a kamikaze woodlouse crawls out from under the cushion and makes its way across the table, conflicting with the path of the red precisely at the point the red gets there. The red, needless to say, veers off course, and the future of the woodlouse is uncertain. - The Statman

I think he cannot win from O'Sullivan but he's doing a good try

If he goes for those shots, he better make sure he sinks them because Ronnie will punish him dearly if he misses.
