Ronnie wins World Grand Prix

[BeiberLvr]

I noticed the idiots online who said he would never win again are not offering apologies etc.

He's probably a favorite or at least even money to make the semi-finals in events like these with shorter races up front.

It's a little different in something like the World Championship where the races start off much longer, and increase as the tournament progresses. That's where his age and endurance becomes a factor.

I'm impressed that they can do it without diamonds on the table

they have something better, along with the six pockets, the six colors

The difference between first and second place money was $80,000.

60,000.00 British Pounds = 79,272.312 US Dollars

The worlds is a grueling 17 days but physical fitness is not an issue for Ronnie, he's probably the fittest on tour https://www.runnersworld.com/uk/training/motivation/a28396561/ronnie-osullivan/
Only thing stopping him winning another is keeping the mental focus, that's the tough part.

I don't think physical or mental endurance is the issue. I think all that will get between Ronnie and a great finish is how much he cares.

And I say, 'good for him.' I hope he puts together a few amazing matches before he is out, I hope he has fun. Ronnie's attitude finally started matching his prestige, I'd love to see him fully embrace statesman status even if it costs him a few titles.
