I think it's not just energy saving. If you have a 20% thin cut that smashes the balls everywhere in that situation, it's a better chance than getting 8 in a row, one ball at a time. It's playing the percentages even when they are badly against you.

I hope you and yours did as well. Have a great Sunday.
Ronnie wins World Championship for 6th time
It's over. Fat lady has sung :smile:
13-8 Ronnie leads by 5 frames and arguably the greatest frontrunner is not giving up this lead.
Many missed chances by Wilson and errors by Ronnie that he did not capitalise on. And Ronnie is more comfortable and playing better this session. Gap in skill level is quite big.
We could see an early finish maybe end of this 3rd session or early in 4th session
No offence to this kid Wilson but that Ronnie-Selby semifinal was the Final

Appleton just posted this on FB. Pretty hilarious. Someone synced video of Ronnie's fastest 147 with a video of Selby taking just as long to shoot one shot.

And then Selby missed the shot. LOL
I didn't realize how disrespectful Ronnie's 5min 147 was to the game of snooker. I mean just look how little time and effort he puts in to to all those shots.
ronnie on autopilot in the final. unbeatable when he's like that
And Ronnie runs away with it, 18-8 for World Championship #6
The post-match interview was interesting. Ronnie was just Ronnie without any of the strange stuff. Personable, coherent, modest.
While we could have hoped for a closer finish, we got about what you can expect if Ronnie finds a gear, regardless of the opponent.
Ronnie was on the table at 9AM practicing for his 1:30 match. Evidently he got his cue action figured out. :thumbup:
His nonsense is usually to avoid playing into the narratives, I've noticed
Interviewer: You must be pleased that you beat Mark Selby
Ronnie: Cue action
Disrespectful ahaha
He did but to be honest if you watch young Ronnie he definitely had WAY more cue action than he does know. He's much smarter and has incredible knowledge but not as dynamic as he once was. Of course still good enough to win the World CHampionship. I also believe he will be incredibly motivated to tie Hendry at least now. If this opportunity had passed him by his interest may have started waning.
Might have been more competitive if Kyren makes the black and gets to 9-8, but he was just destroyed today and when Ronnie got to 14-8 you could see that Kyren knew it was an impossible task
