It's that time of year again, first round starts at the Crucible on the 19th.

What do we think, Ronnie for a third year running?

I'm not a better at all but I'm tempted to put a tenner on him to win it, I was tempted last year but chickened out and look where that ended up.

Yeah the odds are shocking but if he turns up on Saturday with his game face on and crushes his opponent they're just going to get worse.

I don't tend to mind if it's close or not with Ronnie because it's great to watch either way.

Out goes Ding in the first round. Fantastic final frame too.

Glad Higgins is going out. I never believed him over accepting money to rig matches. Good riddance to the cheat.

Urgh. Surely not.

I liked the three ball plant earlier.

Also, special mention for those trousers. I think the term "polarising" is fair.

I don't think I've ever willed someone so hard over the line.

Was worried going into the deciding session but there you go.

Ronnie with his game face on.

Ronnie seems to have just moved through the gears this morning.

Gutted but tbh the better player won.

Selby's tactic was clearly to bore Ronnie to utter tears (along with myself) and fair play, he stuck to it and executed it perfectly.
