I usually jinx every tournament with my #anyonebutselby tag but the snivelling little **** has been knocked out already. **** yeah.

I see my favourite sporting hero Jimmy White has been given a place and has thrashed Ali Carter 6-2!! Now I know he's playing I'll be paying closer attention.

Didn't last long, how he can thump Carter then get beaten by a much lower ranked player is amazing. Then again carter has a reputation of throwing the head up if a games not going his way,

With Higgins out, I don't think there is any realistic opposition for Ronnie left. Having said that, he will now lose in the next round.

Murphy is a big danger. He beat Ronnie recently in the champion of champions final.

Looks in danger as it is!

Some nice hair accessories on show tonight.

edit: I was wondering where the old dinosaur commentators were this week and Willie Thorne has been sacked... no idea about Virgo.

That Sunny chap looks so relaxed. Fair play to him!

robfosters · 7 Dec 2017 at 21:37

I love the way he uses the rest. Very unique but looks natural.

robfosters · 7 Dec 2017 at 22:21

No more mistakes from Ronnie. Big test for him.

robfosters · 7 Dec 2017 at 22:40

Deciding frame! What a match this has been.

Nate75 · 7 Dec 2017 at 23:01

Good stuff. Don't remember the last time I watched a match through...

Yeah, was fantastic. I hope we see more of Sunny. Great player and looks a bit of a character, something that sadly lacks in the oriental players, and I'm honestly not being racist saying that, but most are all a bit regimented and emotionless.

Ronnie played awful though. He only really won due to the inexperience of Sunny when it came to the crunch and the pressure. Must have been a third of his best game, if that. I'm sure he'll sharpen up now. Whoever he has next is in trouble imo.

Ronnie taking it out on Gould today. Giving him a towelling

The rocket in cruise control again against Maguire.

robfosters · 10 Dec 2017 at 18:58

Should be good tonight guys. Set up nicely at 4-4.

Pigeon_Killer · 10 Dec 2017 at 20:50

One way traffic.

marc2003 · 10 Dec 2017 at 20:50

I've only caught the last 2 frames. It's all looking rather easy.

robfosters · 10 Dec 2017 at 21:04

Too good. Just way too good.

Quartz · 10 Dec 2017 at 22:10

They were very evenly matched after the first session, trading frames. Then Ronnie stepped up a gear.
