Ronnie V John Higgins

[Blondie]

People are obsessed with shortening names! I don't really understand why people shorten Maija, though... it's not as if it takes ages to type and it is already a shorter version of my name. Oh well.

John or Ronnie? JOHN! (That came as a huge shock I am sure.) John is really playing oh so well right now, that technical problem he mentioned that he has been struggling with since December is gone, he is really flying out there. Ronnie is not there yet - his long potting is off, his safety play is a bit on the Hawaiian side. That having been said, I think he'll really be up for the match, maybe finally having to dig deeper than 60%

MTFH!

Hi Mai,

..........and yes, I'm lazy, so apols for shortening... ) , but interested to know what Maija is short for? [Blondie is short for Blondina, no only joking, just nickname that all my friends call me, real name is Jan.. ]

And I agree, Higgy is playing well, and Ron's long putting could be better, although Ron did mention in his press conference yesterday that he's trying to get more practice in, including long-pot shots.

And also definitely feel that they are both up for the match, and what a great match it will be, can't wait....lol..x

[Miss Walker]

Well, guys and gals, 'ere we go

[Blondie]

Hi guys,

............and 2 - 1 Higgy, really good game, , and can't wait for the rest.. lol..xx

[Blondie]

Hi guys,

..........and 3 -1 Higgy, great game, lol.xx

Outplayed, outpotted, underconfident... Hard times for a Ronnette. Hats off to Higgins, he's on a mission. But it's still a very tough one to swallow.

[Maija]

Ronnie isn't doing too badly when he's actually in and on a break, it's just getting there that isn't working atm.

Curious miss by John there to let ROS in again

2-3 then.

[Blondie]

Hi guys,

..........and now 3 - 2, [yippee!], and great game..lol.xx

[April madness]

First long pot missed by John, only in 6th frame. Not bad. Now if Ronnie could pick up his long potting from the ground level...

[Blondie]

Hi guys,

...........3 - 3 , very exciting now.....lol..xx

[Marc]

john seems to off gone off the boil since the interval. hopefully he will settle down a bit more in this frame!

[Wim]

Ronnie seems to cue better but still far from his best form yet, he levelled 3 -3, quite fair result till now

[April madness]

now that's another bad miss - coming from Ronnie, cueing well? I wouldn't say that.

[Marc]

A good chance here for higgi to clear up now.. he might get his confidence back if he can manage it

[Maija]

John seems to have lost a bit of bite, yes, since the tea break. Nice cut on that red, though and a nice break going on now. If only the black wasn't hugging that red next to it.

Funnily enough I still have long nails. Dunno how they stay alive, because this is nerve-wrecking

[Wim]

Yeah April let's say he is cueing well in the 'zone'
