Pot %

Ronnie 95%
John 88%

Only 4 each due to some ball run, John is hanging on to Ronnie at the moment.

Yeah, this one has been fascinating so far. Looks like Higgins won't give it away, so Ronnie will have to stay in form to win.

As I watch Ronnie potting a red left handead, freeing another red, playing a double and clearing up, I wonder what he could have achieved, if he would have matured ten years earlier.

Anyway, I stand to my opinion, that John still is the only player, who can handle Ronnie in full gear.

But now it is 3:3 and on the other hand, Ronnie might be the only one, who can get into John's head and who can really show how is the king of the 92s.

On another thought, remember a few years back, where we all celebrated Steve Davis still being in the top 16 age 50?
Now we have three players, who have a realistic chance to be a world champion on their 50th birthday.

Judd had a laugh about the age point.

100%

John rarely gives up and this is early in the match, but Ronnie will be happy after that first session.

[skogstokig]

lol, mic picked up jimmy white acting out. "i can't work under these f**king conditions". so don't then jimmy, go to the pub.. macmanus obviously can't stand sitting there with him

 

[Fatboy]

Who ever wins between John & Ronnie is the favorite to win over Trump. The senior citizens are tough action.

That lower right pocket(as viewed on TV) has spot out and bobbled more balls. That needs some attention after play today.

Excellent Higgins/Ronnie match

Frame 16 the last one of the session-wow, just wow. No spoiler here

 

[JusticeNJ]

Helluva Ronnie-Higgins match.

 

[telinoz]

Judd found his mojo.

Ronnie the GOAT, looking good.

I didnt think that the black Ronnie shot when it was right next to the pink actually fell there in the last frame. I was pretty certain that was going to stay up.

Yesterday there were some levelling issues.
Today though, not seeing it other than the odd misses. Mind you, had a bottle of Rose. Lol.

It was amazing. Frame 16 is one of the best frames of snooker I can remember.

 

[pt109]

10-6 for the Rocket….but the outcome is still uncertain…their lifetime match score is 38-33 Ronnie….pretty close.

 

[telinoz]

Yep, still sticking with 17-14 to Ronnie though.

It’s up there that’s for sure. The last 2 reds wow

 

[skogstokig]

yes, suddenly the weakest of the four semifinalists is looking the strongest. many frames left to the trophy though. i think entering the semifinals they're only halfway through, frame wise. as many frames left as they've played all tournament

 

[JAM]

End of Session 2 today, Ronnie in the lead over John Higgins. 10-6. Here's the stats.

 

[Fatboy]

Higgins is a grinder. No matter what Ronnie hits him with, he comes right back. He isn’t as good as Ronnie but he isn’t breaking down. Respect!
