Ronnie O Sullivan v Neil Robertson - Quarter Final

[montoya10]

I don't cheer on Ronnie as much as I usually do just for the sake of his jinxing skills!! Come on Stevens!!

[doorag]

We need you to jinx Stevens too Tip

[Ronnie's tip]

I'll be watching it too, I could understand if he wasnt looking so good or not as focused as he looks now, I honestly think he will win it now, it's about time too, to have Ronnie as unbelievably talented as he is, only winning 3 world titles is ridiculous, it's high time he won 6 at least!

I've always felt 5 would be a fair amount for Ronnie, bearing in mind he's had Stephen Hendry (to an extent), Mark Williams and John Higgins in his era.

Long way to go though. Stevens is on fire at the moment.

A lot of it is because who he's playing. I just never fancy ROS when he's up against Higgins, Selby, Robertson, Trump ect. Guys like Ding, Williams, Murphy ect never worry me because I'm confident Ronnie will win.

I won't be like this tommorow. I think I'll be able to enjoy it more, because I like Stevens a lot. He's also the type of player Ronnie likes to play as well. Should be a cracker.

Well played Ronnie, ronnie's tip, u really need to have a bit more faith in your man, he is more focused than usual this tournament, give him a chance, you're forever being negative and writing him off, he's an unbelievable player, what are you gonna be like come the final assuming he gets there? Give credit where it's due and please dont be so negative otherwise you'll drive yourself mad! lol

A bit tough to have a proper discussion with all this "server busy" stuff.

I enjoyed the match. It was always going to be difficult for Robertson to win from 12-8 down, because you can't really prevent a player from getting a good scoring chance over five frames. Not without playing perfect snooker, and Robertson just didn't have that in him tonight.

Impressive stuff from O'Sullivan. I think some of us feared his form would go down after beating Williams, like usually in a way, but he applied some pressure with one-visit snooker when he needed to. I think he should beat Stevens over four sessions, and then I'll asses his chances for the final.

A bit of an anti-climax. Robertson was never in the match in the afternoon and O'Sullivan played a very good mini-session in the evening to effectively seal the victory.

With Carter within one frame of a semi-final spot, one-table stage is going to be cracking.

Well played Ronnie...... great match!!

[breakman16]

I really wanted Robertson to win that.

I wanted it to be 13 12, oh well shame for the crowd, I've always said the winner of that will win the title, so now I want Ronnie to win it!!

Robertson crumbles under the pressure that only The Rocket could create.

He should rethink his use of hair straighteners.

Excellent!!

[Ronnie's tip]

I'm chuffed. I've had a miserable period, sports wise. Watching Nadal win 2 tournaments in a row, then City beating United....I thought this would be another one.

Well done Ronnie! Apologies if I've annoyed anyone in this thread....nerves + forums don't mix.
