[doorag]

Great stuff.

Well... that was a sudden change! Too bad Fu didn't capitalise more on ROS being lost for a while there, but who knows how the rest of the match is going to progress.

Edit, for the record: Ronnie O'Sullivan v Marco Fu 1-1

Marco Fu takes the third frame with a century.

ROS v FU 1-2

[visionaire]

a great century by Fu brings him to 2-1

[April madness]

Ronnie is still out of it, as if he is uncomfortable with himself. pity, Marco is playing really great, but some misses creep in his play too.

[doorag]

Marco is up for this one! 3-1 now!

Why the hell isn't Eurosport live?

Hes come out after the interval looking and playing more like himself

Thanks a bunch, hegeland!

Well well well, I think we're in for a treat tonight!

4-3 and this match looks to be turning over to Ronnie's favour. Fu will be kicking himself for some missed pots.

yepp that missed easy black in the final frame from Fu has made a big difference, instead of him with a possible lead, he now finds himself a frame behind.

3 in a row for Ronnie with a 70-odd and a century, one of those being the result of a lovely long red. And yet he seems to not have connected to the match completely. Negative body language and a lot of mumbling to himself. (I do think there were some nasty words there, albeit mimed. )
Marco's safety is a lot better, his long potting is decent and he's right there in the match.
Ronnie's breakbuilding seems to be ok. But what was that power shot on the black, in the first four frames?
My instinct tells me Ronnie's not 100% up to it. Who knows which Ronnie will show up after the three hours' break?

[lagermike]

I think the key to Fu winning was to take a lead into tonight's final session. I think Ronnie will be much better tonight and should win, but you never know!

In the first few frames, I was getting quite worried about Ronnie's play. He did seem to be strange for an hour or so there, his head wasn't quite in it.

Marco's safety was heaps better this afternoon than Ronnies, but I was well impressed by Ron's turn around.

I hope that Ronnie plays well in tonights session, i'm sure they both will.
