Ronnie O Sullivan v Neil Robertson - Quarter Final

[Masterdoctorgenius]

why they didnt put the other table back

[Ronnie's tip]

dont think it is his final chance

but the best he can get this year

I do. He's obviously not going to get better, and this year Higgins, Selby and Trump are all out. I don't think he'd beat them anymore in a big match. Yesterday he actually played quite poor - made so many mistakes.

That last frame still makes me feel sick.

I think we'll see another 5-3 to Robertson here. 10-6 overall.

I'm really nervous. I want Neil Robertson to win this. But Ronnie has looked much better in the last few months. I'd kill for another 5-3 session from Neil, to give himself a bit of a cushion in the evening. But that's unlikely, I can see Ronnie firing into action in the second session.

If this match was 4-4, Ronnie would win the match, no doubt about it. I still say Robertson needs a strong start. Hopefully, he can take the first frame. If Ronnie makes a strong start, I can still see him being hard to live with.

God I'm so nervous here. This is Ronnie's final chance for a WC IMO. Please god let Ronnie win. He's lost in the 1/4 final the last 2 years, and I think both times he went into the final session with a lead.

Robertson will win this unfortunately - he's too complete for O'Sullivan.

O'Sullivan is useless against anyone in the top 7 or so in the world (Williams the exception that proves the rule). As a top level snooker player he's finished, and he has been for several years now, he's a glorified version of the Hendry of the past few years. He can beat the little guys around, the chokers, the has-beens and never-will-bes... but when someone who really is top class (real top class that is, not overhyped to infinity like him) and not a choker e.g. Higgins, Selby, Robertson, Trump, Allen he gets found out to be the mediocre, bottleless player he is.

Maybe he can put in a half decent show, pull of a century or two to make the morons in the commentary box spunk a few times and give the cretins in the audience a reason to shout "come on Ronnie!", but as long as Robertson plays at least half decent like he did today he'll cruise through.

Jealousy is the green eyed monster !!

Ronnie hasn't had a good chance to win the worlds like this in years so it's all in his hands now. If he beats Robertson it's 100% sure that he will have his 4th world title which means that i'm going to get drunk that night and possibly fire a couple rockets from my balcony that i have left from new years eve party

But last year he also had a great chance...he was 3 frames up on Higgins in the quarters. Had he won that I think he would have had 4th championship title. I very much doubt either Williams or Trump would have beaten him.
This year it is the same. Quarter final decides the eventual winner.

I believe Stephen Maguire dominates in head to head with Robertson so even if Robertson wins this match and semi he may have to face Maguire in final.

I think Robertson is playing better snooker at the minute, but only just .. Maguire is playing very well.
