UK Champ. 2009 - Semi-final Discussion

watch ronnie nick frame 2

He had a chance early in that safety exchange, but didn't go for it. It was always going to be difficult getting high valued colours from there.

[MalJackson]

looking like 2-2 at the break.

ronnie hitting the ball sweetly

[noel]

So...... he pulls one back WITHOUT a good run of the balls off ambitious breakouts... good for Ron's headspace.
Well-done. A brave start. Nice break.

ronnie almost broke the pink ball good stuff

[Odrl]

That's better from O'Sullivan. He struggled to get position early in the break, but once he got into prime position, he was never going to miss.

[JimMalone]

Damn.

I really want to see this match.
But Eurosport is still showing Cross Country.

[MalJackson]

how could you have a rock band playing near to a snooker match? pure joke, get in barry hearn quickly, let him sort this mess out

[doorag]

damn, higgins looks set to go 3-1 up.

[noel]

Ronnie looks too relaxed/not caring enough... not good.

And allows higgi to the table more than once per frame.

[spike]

Maybe the MSI will change things around for O' Sullivan. higgins looks good though at the moment..

Well, Higgins did make a good break in his second visit. But yeah, he shouldn't have had the chance, but then again, he shouldn't have run out of position in the first place.

So, a couple of loose ones from both players, and it's O'Sullivan that's paid for them.

[April madness]

what a piece of luck for Higgins...

[Odrl]

Well there you go. I said this was a weakness of O'Sullivan's this week. He did it twice against Selby and got away with it. But he's not getting away with it against Higgins.

[noel]

John was so flucky there.
Test of Ronnie's composure.
