si juahui may become one of those crucible specialists. done nothing in the season, but qualifies and is once again playing like a real contender. i think he got to the semis last year. plays fun, brave snooker
lol I was just coming on here to say he's got some of the best looking fundamentals
The frame was secure and Page needed 3 snookers at that pointThe difference between Ronnie and everyone else.
This was end of the first frame. All Ronnie needed to do was drop in the red to secure the frame. Every other player would have made the red and played for a baulk color. What does Ronnie do? Makes the red and goes 2 rails between the green and brown to get perfect on the black.

I know it's done before and highly doubt he'd waste time trying for the 3 snookers especially against Ronnie. Page is aggressive for the most part and is dangerous when he gets in the balls.Yes, although technically it's never "secure" when needing 3 snookers. It's been done before.
Anyways my point was Ronnie is always thinking of scoring big/getting on the black even when it's not necessary.
That was a hell of a match with Ding and Lisowski. 9-8 for Jack then Ding ran a century to go hill hill. Jack kept his composure and came back for the win
First round this year upsets heavy. So far 7 of 16 seeds are out in round 1. Record is 8 seeds out. Top half of draw weak now and Mark Allen has an "easy path" to final
Ronnie and Judd still big favorites over the rest. If there is first time winner this year (like last year) , will be Mark Allen or Si Jiahui

Robert Milkins going full Earl. He's been pouting all match, and just threw his cue after missing an easy red. Gilbert only needs to win 5 more frames for the match, but I'd say Milkins is a favorite to quit (or get DQ'd) before then.
Running against the nap it would not be advisable to try and drop this in, better to play it with speed.The difference between Ronnie and everyone else.
