Ronnie O`Sullivan shows his Best 

to Easily past the Group Stage

Can someone Get Him at his Best?

Ronnie O`Sullivan, at his best, not like an alien like he have played against Walden at The Masters for example, but near of it, easily was the best of a group that in the paper looked to be tough, but he made look easy.

Firstly, he beat Bingham 4(7)2 from 1-2 behind, firing in breaks of 60, 83, and a Back-to-Back centuries to close up the match (115 and 103).

Bingham, a player who's enjoying which is maybe the greatest season of his life, having already won 2 titles including a Ranking Event in China, showed his nice form against Ronnie, lost the first frame but took the lead with breaks of 107 and 62, but wasn't good enough for a hungry and focused Ronnie.

In the other match of the group, Fu beat Shaun Murphy, who won the first frame with a 50, before Marco scrap it, and get the next two frames to take the lead, then finished off the match with breaks of 56 and 80.

In the Group's Final, Fu might went to it a little bit more confident that he should be, because even he had beat the great Murphy conceding just 1 frame, he wasn't playing that well, and he also couldn't 

expect such a great performance from Ronnie, who's been poor so far this season.

The result was an one sided match. O`Sullivan didn't let Fu even score a single point in the first two frames, as he took them with Top Breaks of 75 and 71, then got the third with a 62.

Fu got his highest break of the match in frame four, a 45 got him 50-0 up in the frame, but O`Sullivan made a 61 break and missed. Fu had the potted brown, blue and pink when he failed to a positional in the black, and after a short safety battle he missed a double to the left baulk pocket, leaving a chance for Ronnie, who potted to 4(11)0 up.

Fu got a decent chance in the fifth frame, with all reds well opened, but missed the opening red and Ronnie made a 60.

In frame 6, O`Sullivan had the total control and took it with breaks of 32 and 20, the only frame he won in the day without a 50+ Break.

Ronnie will face Ding Junhui in a best of 11 match on Saturday, 20:00hs (Local/UK Time).
Junhui struggled a lot to pass through a group with Dominic Dale, John Higgins and Barry Hawkins.
Firstly, Junhui stopped which could be a great comeback by Dominic Dale, coming from 0-3 behind, but he won the last frame to seal a 4-2 victory, and then beat Hawkins in the decider, 6-5.

Ronnie really played better than Ding, but we cannot say he's going to win for sure, because they're both Top Players, but I believe O`Sullivan can continue his terrific form, and if he does, Ding must improve to not be whitewashed as well.

We can also remember how Ding shakes against Ronnie O`Sullivan, he feels a pressure against the Five Times World Champion that he's working with since a long time ago.

Judd Trump played marvelous snooker on beating Stephen Maguire 4-1 and Mark Selby 6-1 producing 2 Centuries and other six 50+ Breaks, to qualify for the Semi Final.

The last place in the Semi Final will come from Friday's group with Neil Robertson (7) Ali Carter & Ricky Walden (7) Mark Allen, like always live on ITV.
