O'Sullivan's choking and Carter's getting his confidence back.

[Ronnie's tip]

14-9. Carter has a bit of momentum.

Huh? I thought it was at the beginning of the second part of this session...

No handshake after the interval.

Let's me honest, he's been like it all match. Ronnie has been average, it's just that Carter has been even worse. The standard of this final has been shocking.

He has hit some purple patch along the way and created a big gap between, but, yes, in general, they were mediocre.

[Ronnie's tip]

Next two frames are important now.

Carter straight back in.

[Steve748]

I sometimes think Ronnie misses or plays a risky shot on purpose to increase the tension look for a bigger challenge and make himself play better.
Maybe he is feeling guilty about finishing with a session to spare!

What's so funny? He has played terrible in the last two.

And he makes a mess up of another long one now.

No handshake after the interval.

Ah yes...of course Still no need for the death-stare in snooker...it isn't free-fighting after all. Although Quintin Hann might have thought otherwise

Just look at how far he missed that long red by, that's not the sign of a player who's keeping his head.

Breakman, I'll show respect where respect is due. The stare was just the icing on the cake. The constant head shaking in some way trying to make out that Ronnie has been lucky, not once tapping the table to acknowledge a good shot, not raising a hand to apologise for a fluke. Before this match I didn't mind the guy but Ali Carter has ruined this final for me and I have no respect for him whatsoever

you're getting to see one of the best players of all time, at least Carter now has made himself out to be a good pro, the last session last night he looked like a decent amateur playing against a pro, the gulf in class looked massive, finally Carter has done SOMETHING today, got a frame, now a good break, finally he looks good! You should respect him for being there, how do you know how anyone could or should react out there? He was embarassed at his OWN play, simple as that, gutted and dejected at how the match was going, could you not see that at the time with the circumstances of the match???

[Ronnie's tip]

Another terrible shot by O'Sullivan. Carter right back in.

[Table_of_Reds]

O'Sullivan doing everything in his power to throw a fourth world title away.

I thought they were getting on good terms these two. Not sure, but Hann would have really been up for it, right! (:

[Ronnie's tip]

And another miss...

Yet the commentators will still talk about how well he's playing.
