Good steal from Selby to make it one a piece. Nearly at risk of going 2-0. Tian doesn't hang about!

[Ronnie's tip]

Ronnie is taking this far too casually. He just doesn't care. Losing 3-2 in a frame where both had several chances to win it.

Commentator's said earlier that he isn't on any of the posters as they feared he wouldn't turn up lol, maybe he was told to turn up, but wants to get away asap ??

... or he's just being thrashed by a superior player?

Ronnie beating Carter with 4 centuries and a 147 is a trashing, this is just a plain ol' loss.

Well Ryan is playing well

[Ronnie's tip]

Day makes it 4-2. He was pretty lucky though. Several nice flicks, missed a sitter of a pink but the pink came back and covered all the pottable reds, and fluked a red when he went for a plant.

You're just bitter. Ronnie has missed his fair share of balls and not left a thing for Ryan.

Strange match this one is! It is important for both players but it doesnt look like that! Both are going for everything and playing loose like its an exhibition

Ryan has clearly had the run of the balls but I wouldn't expect you to acknowledge that, being a rabid Ronnie O'Sullivan hater.

Like now? Ryan missed a long red and left it straight to the middle pocket only to Ronnie mess the shot after that.

Hmm Selbs just can't seem to finish a frame off in one visit these days. Or score very heavily... Yet he's reaching semis and finals. 'mazin.

He's not a lester anymore tho.

Well done Ryan Day. You've proved once again you're the better player these days.

Now, let the "Ronnie didn't turn up" , "Ronnie didn't care/want to win" , "Ryan had the run of the ball" excuses start.
