exactly, he's done all he needs to do, not lose the session, at least we get a decent session tonight, and the score is respectable now!

Ronnie and Ali are quite close friends aren't they? They practice together. I wouldn't read too much into ettiquette things. Mind you I missed the glare everyone's talking about from earlier!

Agree. I think they both are just so focused and determined on getting the title...

[Ronnie's tip]

When Ronnie fouled then I couldn't believe it...

Still, 15-10 is a good lead. 5-3 overall in this session.

[daffie]

After first session...2 frames lead
After 2nd session...3 frames lead
After 3rd session...5 frames lead

Speaks for itself...

[Ronnie's tip]

Has either player tapped the table to say good shot in the match yet??

I don't think this match is being played in the best spirit...

Ronnie has a few times.

Gotta give credit to Carter. Bounced back in good fashion to win three critical frames. Slight chance of a comeback, although it's still an uphill task.

Looks like Carter has his work cut out for him this evening. If he can win the first couple of frames it might put a bit of pressure on Ronnie, but I can't see it. He's the equivalent of being 5-0 down in a first-to-8 match.

That said, if Carter does win this match he will thoroughly deserve it!

[FOXMULDER]

Carter needs to win 8-2 tonight.

No chance.

[doorag]

15 down three to go!

O'Sullivan has been tapping the table, whereas Carter has been shaking his head.

O'Sullivan has been tapping the table, whereas Carter has been shaking his head.

I had little moan about carters style of play yesterday,which some didn't agree with,but one thing that certainly isn't subjective is his complete lack of sportsmanship(mainly acknowledging good shots or flukes),not that he's the only one.

if u all of the first 3 sessions you will lead going into the final one by a healthy margin
