He's some player

Run out of superlatives for him, when he’s on his game there is no better performer in world sport … he really is a genius at what he does and it’s a privelage to have witnessed his career

The best there's ever been, left And right handed at the same time. Cant think of another sportsperson so dominant. Incredible.

Its not really a sport though, innit?

The last 3 frames was as good as he ever was

It's not the way I play it.

You try playing it - my highest break in a local league was 40 & I was a bog average player - a very narrow game to play - you can spend most of your time chalking my cue .....
The player that won tonight is a pure genius at snooker 40 ranking titles no one will ever beat that ...

Ronnie is a marvel, but his ability to win again at his leisure is something of an indictment of the other top players. To be fair, Ronnie didn't have to beat a top 5 player in this tournament - he had a softish draw - but you can only beat what's in front of you and the others continuously fail to do that as well as O'Sullivan. He made mince of Vafaei, for example, a player who has often troubled other top stars. Robertson and Selby are, in my view, in decline. Higgins is finished. Trump is back in form, but I think the days of somebody dominating are over (with the exception of Ronnie, who seems to have everyone in his back pocket at the moment).

I never felt Ding was going to win today. But to be fair, it takes a special performance to beat O'Sullivan in a major final and there are only a few players truly capable of that - and few of them are at the party at the moment for whatever reason.

That's one way to win it, 3 snookers down and Wilson takes it on a respotted black.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Even 6-2 its bleak for Saengkham.

Stephen Hendry's new channel is extremely enjoyable

9-5 done, early finish. Not often players defend a trophy now with the standard.
