Aah, he's had 4 decent chances to take this frame and hasnt made the most of any of them. Key point of match here i think.

I'm afraid you're right. Can see Ronnie running away with frame wins now

Joe_ Public

That plant certainly didn't look on from the tv angle, made a hames of it anyway. Hint of desperation about it. Bad sign.

robinwing

6 -5 to rocket. If Jordan doesn't win next frame he's bolloxed

That was a fair ambitious plant,, And got his just rewards... Nice brown too.

suspiciousMind

grad i tuned in to catch the end of this.

Joe_ Public

Definitely got a bit of cohones brown, say that much for him. Deserved that frame. Still a big outsider but you never know, ronnie bit in and out over the course of the match.

eric hoone

Brown did well to hang on 6-6, hes still winning the scrappy frames

Arthur Daley

Whatever you do, don't hit the blue:)

Needs to get a frame in one visit... Hasn't been doing that enough.... And he needs to avoid that blue on the way back to baulk - he's cannoned it several times today.

Joe_ Public

Safety been top notch overall though, mostly whats keeping him in it.

Arthur Daley

We saw a few hit and hopes from Ronnie before the interval. Remind you of his semi final against Selby in Sheffield last August.

Arthur Daley

2 away now. C'mon Jordan

Ronnie angry about that replaced cueball... Brendan Moore could only go on one camera angle - surely Ronnie would have played the same shot the second time... Could yet be controversial,,, But Jordan won't care :pac:

eric hoone

The upset is on. Ronnie seems a bit frustrated

Doing great off the blue on this break

Invidious

Ronnie is going to be embarrassed if he loses this, after calling lower ranked players numpties and the like

eric hoone

8-7 up with his first 50+ break, great game

Joe_ Public

Outstanding performance for a player ranked 81 at the start of the week. Not sure whats the lowest ranked player to win a ranking title, this would have to be close. If he gets there! Fingers crossed for him, some nerve so far!

Brown looks unusually composed and relaxed for a player going for his first ranking win. I don’t think nerves are going to play a part in this.

Not sure he knows how, and that's not necessarily a dig.

Some frame there from Brown.

In this session I think yeah....He's had two or three, plus a ton in the afternoon..

Muppet Man

Absolutely top drawer from Ronnie there

waynescales1

8-8, outrageous.

Outrageous from O’Sullivan.

Wonder what the lowest score ever from a total clearance was.

DJIMI TRARORE

That's some clearance, final frame decider

RebelButtMunch

Just when I think Ronnie has lost the plot he comes back with a century. Unpredictable.

AllForIt

That's one of the best century breaks I've ever seen.

Good break, but fortunate to get in after a bad safety shot kind of forced brown to go for a long red having to swerve slightly round the yellow

Joe_ Public

Think thats 3 frame winning breaks without pink or blacks this match. Cue ball on a string, no one comes even close for control. Still, jammy fecker with that nudge on brown, though!

Joe_ Public

Hope jordan gets one chance anyway. Just a chance and see what he can do with it.

Well, he has it now. Let's see how far this break goes.

Osullivan had a total 15 red clearance of 114,according to wiki, whi h is the record, thought it would be lower

Arthur Daley

Great bottle here

newmember2

Who is the welsh guy in the studio with Ken?

Darren Morgan - former pro

WD Jordy!

newmember2

I wouldn't have recognised him...was trying to make a joke about Rob Walker's sexuality there earlier or something...can't see him being invited back.

BQQ

Fair play to him
You could see he was feeling the pressure, but he held himself together well

I missed that.. I only tuned in at the midsession interval, as no ads :pac:

DJIMI TRARORE

Some upset, good to c new faces coming thru

Did he go to the final frame in every match?

4Ad

Fecking delighted for him !!

waynescales1

Didn’t even make it past the 2nd round in any tournament last season, 3rd round the season before that. Off the tour altogether from ‘10 - ‘17. Fair play to him.

Rothko

Really happy for him. Results like this are great for the sport too.

Arthur Daley

Ronnie being a gent. Great day of sport there. Nothing cynical in it at all.

Dave_The_Sheep

Around 6-5, I thought he'd f*cked it. Great composure to come back and finish that.

Just a pity he couldn't have done it in front of a live crowd. Must be weird with the piped in sounds and all.

It was only a few frame intervals back - 15 or 16 maybe. Attempt at schoolboy humour but wouldn't have thought it'd be acceptable on the BBC.

zuutroy

3 final losses in a row. Not sure this O'Sullivan fella has the bottle to win.

Yea. One to watch though.
