    Ronnie is carefree, won't change his game to increase his chance to win, plays same way regardless. With a bit of safety in mind he'd do better.
    Ronnie lets him in so so easily, and when in Trump can win frame with one visit

    Dont think judd ever looked comfortable playing that right handed. He's not a natural two hander like ronnie, if he loses that shot could haunt him.

    No one can clear up so nonchalantly under pressure as Ronnie can.

    Yeah, he'll be absolutely sick if he doesn't win this match. It feels he's playing 10 or maybe 20% better than Ronnie but he just can't shake him off. Huge frame coming up here.

    I think that's the best £30 I've ever spent. Was sitting just in front of where they made their entrance so have photos with both players. Sensational snooker. Great day out

    Stonking value for 30 quid. To see the two best players in the world go head to head like that.

    Lol at Ronnie handing his medal to that lad at the front row, which the commentators said was there all week. Made yer mans week and no big deal to Ronnie.

    Selby over 6 minutes to play a shot. 66 points ahead in frame. Ridiculous.

    Encouraging to see Ronnie more or less stay with him when he couldn't pot a long ball. If he gets his eye back in I think there's not much between them. Judd's cueball control is a bit sketchy when the pressure is on but it doesn't matter when you can pot everything. Hope to see a couple of more matches between them this season. What's blindingly obvious is how far off the pace everyone else, with the exception of Robertson is.

    Ronnie played Gung-ho snooker early in match, not respecting Trump enough. He let him in so easily to snatch frames, Trump will take those gifted frames all day long.

    Yes, no doubt there is a gap now between Trump, Robertson and Ronnie and the rest. The Trump V Robertson and Trump V Ronnie finals over the past couple of weeks have been outstanding.

    I know he won last week but robertson remains a distance behind the big two for my money.

    The disappointing thing, though, is when you look at betting for UK and after top 3 you then have Higgins and selby. The young players really should be pushing past them by now, everytime i think mark allen might be ready to make a huge leap, he seems to take an instant step backwards. Very strange.
