World Snooker Championship

[Handball]

Ronnie is slipping Judd an absolute crippler in this session, riding roughshod all over him.
If Judd comes out with 5 on the board after tonight he can thank his lucky stars.
There was a feeling that Judd had his final vs Williams.
This could be a trouncing.

Ronnie far too good. Judd being outclassed

 

[Drico]

So much for the "dream final". For years we've had to listen to a certain coterie tell us Ronnie v Judd was the ultimate snooker dream match. Well, it's been a stinker so far. Trump, who I thought would have too much for Ronnie, looks a shadow of himself. Tonight's performance has been feeble. On current form, this will be over tomorrow afternoon. Ronnie plays the right shot almost every time. By comparison, Judd can't even play a shot.

Styles make matches - and contrasts in styles really do make finals. Looks like this era's brand leader is a poor imitation of the vintage real thing - and a performance like this could be a career killer for Trump - certainly it will do his reputation as this generation's premier gunslinger no good at all.

Better from Judd. under the circumstances, that's a crucial frame. He loses that and he's slumped in his chair.

I think really Ronnie is cyborg who has been sent from the future to play perfect snooker.

If this was a boxing match the ref would step in.

Punishing stuff from Ronnie this evening.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Feel a bit for Trump. He's been absolutely outclassed but getting zero breaks either.

Won't get much sleep tonight I'd imagine.

At 12-5 that's some task for Judd to win it from here. On current form, it might not even go to a final session.

It’s looking good for Ronnie but can’t count Trump out. I hope Ronnie wins tho cements his place as the best ever which in my opinion he already is so hope he gets it.

Great stuff from Ronnie, but Judd has made it very easy for him this evening.

TBF I think the semi against Williams took it out of him, and he's found it difficult to re-energise after. Ronnie looks as fresh as a daisy. No one's been able to get near him.

Trump's such a good player when he brings his A game that he can still make a match of this, but he'll need to find his form for tomorrow.

Could be over with a session to spare ; just imagine if you've got tickets for tomorrow night, you'd be praying for a Trump revival.

 

[4 Eyes Better Than 2]

Best thing for Trump there was the night being over when it did. Go home reset and needs to come out tomorrow and win first session 6-2 at least… 5-3 session win isn’t enough I feel
