its hard to believe that Neil Robertson dropped out of the top 16. Hope Ronnie wins.

Yea I saw his win against the Chinese player, he was lucky. I was listening to his interview about why he dropped out of the top 16 and it was due to family reasons. He's a good guy to pay that tribute to his wife. This link will give a good insight on why he was out of the top 16.

He will be hard to beat in the worlds next easter

Selby was unlucky with the kick but Williams played very well. Wasn't much in it.

At least now we won't have to put up with intolerable shots of Vicky in the crowd

Noticed the 2 cues alright. What's that about?

No sound on my feed here, did the comms have anything to say on it? It could just be different tip sizes, smaller one for break building but just a guess.

Great opening day of the Masters! Love the way this tournament is straight in to the action rather than the usual first round feel you get with other tournaments.

Dennis was on MC duty yesterday too and managed this magnificent blunder!

Mark Allen spoke about it after the game on Eurosport. He said Brecel lost his cue recently and was trying out a new cue. The second cue was his older cue again, but it has a crack in it. He wasn't happy with the new cue after the first few shots and reverted to the old cracked one. Must be a horrible thing for a snooker player to lose their cue

When even Steve Davis is talking about pockets playing too easy, you know there’s an issue.

Good match this. Hard to call a winner, gun to head I think Day will snatch it.

That 7th frame was horrible though, Day was simply less terrible than Ding. They really do produce extremes of snooker these two!

Ding looks shot but Day is the kind of player I just can’t see getting over the line without at least one wobble.

Joe_ Public · 15-01-2018 5:44pm

Fair play, I did him a disservice. Got the job done well in the end.

_feedback_ · 15-01-2018 6:07pm

Well done Ryan Day. Coming back from 3-0 is good going in a relitavely short match with big pressure. You just never know what you're going to get with Ding..

Trump is similar to Ding. He could come out tonight and play to either extreme.

I've put little bets on all matches so far and won them all! My money is on Liang tonight. He's a great character (god, I sound like Dennis!) and if Trump isn't at his best, he can beat him. Hope he can handle the occasion though. We'll see!

What in the jaysus is Judd wearing?

Great match. Liang played some great snooker but that green was a silly shot to take on at a crucial time. He had the advantage at that stage, despite being 5-4 down. Handed it back to Trump who done well to clear up and win 6-4 under pressure!

Ronnie v Fu tomorrow afternoon. The presenter on Eurosport last night said to Mark Allen: "You've got Ronnie in the next round, how do you feel about that?" To which Allen replied "I thought Ronnie still had a game to play? You just made Marco up his game by 20%, Ronnie won't thank you for that!"

Would obviously favour Ronnie given his recent form, but Marco is more than capable of beating him. We've seen him produce some great snooker in recent years.

6-3 to Ronnie?!

Fantastic start from Ronnie. A Break of 120 puts him 1-0 up to Fu.

ziggyman17 · 16-01-2018 2:42pm

a masterclass so far from Ronnie... Looks well up for it... In this form unstoppable...
