Ronnie O'Sullivan cruises through

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/snooker/22232528

O'Sullivan V Cambpell as it happened:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/snooker/22232906

Nice to see the match stats and Ronnie O'Sullivan back but I cant see him winning it this year after taking the year out.Ali Carter will be out for revenge if he wins his match and if the draw pans out the way I looked at it John Higgins will beat Ronnie O'Sullivan but I could be wrong.:thumbup:

Mark Williams beaten by Michael White

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/snooker/22242610

It's not really a shock result as Mark Williams hasn't played well for a long time but you would think the old head of an ex World Champion would out wit the young and up and coming fellow countryman.

Not the case and Mark Williams is out !

Hawkins ends Lisowski hopes

http://www.sportinglife.com/snooker/news/article/663/8664440/hawkins-ends-lisowski-hopes

Jack was out when the draw was made and I'm just glad I never got caught up in the hype when he was gambled fro 300/1 into 50/1 but it was enough hype to make me select him as the winner of the match @ The Event Predictor,DOH !

It's safe to say that I aint winning that competition this year on the results so far LOL !:grin-square::thumbup:

Ronnie O'Sullivan is now Skybets 100/30 FAV to take the title !

Can you take more or less 1 year out of your job bar 1 match where you lose & return to take a World title ?

Imagine Ronnie was a Brain Surgeon & after a year out he said,"You are my next patient !"Would you give the go ahead for the operation?:grin:

13/8 Higgins V Davis 1/2.

John Higgins better get his finger out or he is out.I hope he can turn the match around but he has had a bad season by his standards.

Fingers crossed.:wink:

he plays from behind real good, the last frame today was HUGE for Davis, I watched every match so far. Ronnie looks solid, Murphy did today not the first day. good be a good one for sure.
