    987 centuries. When will he pass 1000?

    Guessing the welsh open but that’s assuming he keeps winning matches.

    12 tons to win 23 frames here is unlikely even for Ronnie. Next tournament will be Germany assuming Ronnie plays there, it may be there.

    Didn’t enter germany so next two tournaments will be Grand Prix and Welsh. Toss up between either of those I’d say.

    Hope its the Welsh. Eurosport, BBC Wales and Quest all show it.

    What is is with Bingham? Am I correct in hearing hes only got out of R1 once?!

    Welsh would be good with Willie Thorne on commentary!

    Yes. He reached the semifinals in 2016. Otherwise he's had 7 first-round losses and one loss in the wildcard round.

    Long bout of safety on this pink. 15 mins and counting. Lisowski needs it for sure at 2-0 down

    Some contest for the pink there. Sone good safety but some bad misses and the pink always seemed to get safe.

    I’m just not convinced by Jack Lisowski. He’s not bad but I just haven’t seen him play great snooker.

    Ding wins two frames in a row on the black to lead 4-0 at the interval.

    Looks great when hoovering up the low rankers but keeps falling short against the top guys. I hear people comparing him to trump but trump has won lots of titles and been in a world final. I don’t see that in Lisowski yet and probably never.

    Don't know what happened to Bingham there, he never got into a grove at all. Embarrassing at times.

    Fast table, strange first frame, Ally Pally London crowd, Ronnie = completely bottled it, maybe.

    Was particularly struck by Binghams masters record which now stands at 9 appearances and EIGHT first round exits. Just can’t seem to get it going there for whatever reason. Can’t see why he’d bottle it against ronnie when he’s beaten him previously on several occasions, including at the worlds. Hard to understand really.

    Bit of a match here at 3-2 Williams vs Robertson. Some steal in frame 5 by Robertson after Willo missed a sitter for frame ball.

    Robertson levels with a century, and it's 3-3 after Williams looked like he was cruising.

    Taylor and Davis are always an entertaininng commentary for me. Not often paired together but I think it works well, so long as it's only just the one mention of 1985 allowed per session.

    Couldn't make any sense of that shot on the pink by Williams. :confused:

    He's now gone from 3-1 ahead to 3-5 down.

    Must have been trying to go up & down table twice with pink but got his angles all mixed up. Only sane explanation I can come up with.

    He had a crazy amount of side on it which was odd. He could've easily just went down the table once. Bizarre stuff.

    I think it was just a hit and hope!
