These balls are horrible. So many bad contacts.

They're annoying Trump. Ronnie seems to be ignoring them. Experience.

Great break by Ronnie

Ronnie's problem here is that he's getting in on Trump's mistakes, so if the latter picks up then Ronnie will find himself off the table. He needs to start creating his own chances.

You're gonna lose your money. Ronnie will win definitely if he goes 10-6 up.

many said trump would run away with a lead after the MSI

it happened the other way around

[Holden Chinaski]

Go on Ronnie! Teach Trump a lesson in breakbuilding!

[magpie1892]

I think trump's quotes yesterday - to the effect that if he played his best game he could match and/or better ROS - gave a good insight into the man and his delusions. Both players at their best, it's ROS at a canter. This is obvious to everyone - including Trump himself. Trying to psych out ROS? Please...

[FOXMULDER]

"Must win" frame for Trump.

/facepalm

Do you just want him to say that he has no chance against Ronnie? If he doesn't have confidence then he has no chance of winning.

he leveled the session against shaun after being 2-6 down against shaun


6-10 wouldnt be worriying, more of an inspiration for judd

Shaun isn't Ronnie.

[CueInAction]

I definitely agree that how the shot is played and the cue action makes a difference to kicks. But, I would also be interested to know how these are counted. For example, if it's a person counting it, how do they tell there was/wasn't a kick? Do they only count a kick if it results in a missed pot /and/ the player makes a sad face and waves his hands about in annoyance? Because I've noticed that Ronnie doesn't complain about them as much, nor does he clean the cue ball (as others have mentioned) so perhaps some of Ronnie's kicks might go unnoticed by the person counting.

To be honest I've wondered about how they are counted...more so due to the fact that the commentators are quick to call a bad contact when anyone misplays an easy shot. To be honest though Judd has had some big kicks that are noticeable without him complaining about it.

Well, there is only one way how to cure the kick problem...we go back to playing on green shagpile with ivory balls

judds breakbuilding is miserable and position play even worse

Gosh no, he HAS got every chance. Just saying that the quotes from yesterday show the man's delusion, arrogance and lack of respect for a player who is superior in every department.

[Masterdoctorgenius]

Come on ronnie

Judd's problem, deep down, is that he knows who the superior player is and he's also got a bottle problem.

[Holden Chinaski]

What an escape by Ronnie!
