I've never seen a player douse their self with a bottle of water before.
Ronnie O'Sullivan 1K Centuries - Contest!!!
- Thread starter BeiberLvr
- Start date
Kind of like when the football team douses the coach after the bowl game victory.
i've noticed for many years now that ronnie seems to get fewer kicks / skids than other players. it must be his stroke. anyone else seen this? i have no statistical backing, just a hunch
A fair point!
Maybe it's because he frequently uses close to gearing outside side spin.
Especially a player like Mosconi , most of his runs were done on half the table.
After 10s of thousands of games I would imagine he saw a lot of very similar layouts when he played.
I know sometimes when I am playing a rack of nine ball I will remember an almost identical setup from a previous game , some are from many years ago.
Just made #987 with a 134.
Another century break to lead Stuart Bingham 4-1.

Ronnie leads 5-1 going to 6.
"All over Stuart Bingham like a rash", according to the commentary.

Ronnie missed an easy red to the side in game 7, allowed Stuart to run enough that Ronnie conceded the game after a Stuart miss. Game 8 Stuart was at 67 needing one point to secure the frame. Ronnie got bad position and took a pink instead of a black. Tied the frame 67-67, and Ronnie won the ensuing black ball respot. Won the match 6-1
Minor correction: Stuart won the first frame. So the final was 6-2. Winning the first frame would normally inspire confidence. The first was a scrappy frame with Stuart receiving 32 penalty points and a high break of 25. That didn't make him feel all that comfortable.:sorry:
Ronnie will be playing Ryan Day in the morning, 6 am my time in Phoenix. I have been finding the matches on Facebook, by searching 'snooker live'.
989 now
Ronnie picked up one more defeating Ryan. Fell just short in the final frame.

Here is a general media item about the thousand centuries:

that's interesting since we have heard from CJ that the touch of inside makes that true , but I think it's both
1
So, there is some uncertainty about whether Ronnie had a century in his fourth frame against Sanderson Lam in the 2019 Welsh Open. This hinges on when a shot is considered to be complete and the points scored. He had either a 101 break or a 95 break.
With Ronnie, it's always something.
