Ronnie Again

Sublime Ronnie and Judd teach the World how to play Snooker

This surely was one of the Greatest Matches that Snooker have ever seen and will see for a long time, and I could write here over hours and hours about that fantastic match, but I got so impressed with the way that, not just Ronnie but also Judd played that I'll show a few fantastic numbers from the match, won 10-7 by Ronnie.

• This fantastic match, had an average of one 50+ Break per frame
• Three 50's
• Two 60's
• Three 70's
• Two 80's
• One 90
• Six Centuries! Including two Back-to-Backs, one by each player, considering that Judd made 2 centuries on winning 7 frames - as a player that I don't want to mention his name but he had a baby on Tuesday Afternoon, won 18 frames and couldn't get 2 tons.
• Both players were outplayed in the frames they lost, as both players got 200 unanswered points a couple of times.

Firstly, Ronnie O`Sullivan looked unstoppable as he got an 8-3 lead with Top Breaks of 134, 137 and 139, making that 137 in the opening frame, which became the highest break of the Championship, lately overcame by his own 139, which was followed by a 134 to complete a Back-to-Back tons.

I think that at this situation, Trump is the only who could just keep calm and say for himself "I can play better than that", the others could think "I must scrap the match" (Am I talking about the World Champion? Who knows.).

And he really did as he reduced the deficit to just one frame at 7-8, and these four frame victories in a row included another Back-to-Back tons, as Judd stormed in Breaks of 102 and 100.

Ronnie O`Sullivan then showed why he's the better when it matters and responded with a break of 63 winning the frame 16 on the colors to stop which would be a massive comeback, and then he finished as he started, with a Century, but only a poor 109 this time.

Happiness 

After win this final, Ronnie showed a happiness that event at World Championship's victories, we're not used to see from him. Might it's because he worked very hard to comeback for his prime form, and of course he did, as he made Top Players look like school boys learning to play, he just outplayed everyone out there, many many congratulations to him, I am very happy to celebrate a title again, and I hope many will come yet this season.

Just after the match, World Number 13 Joe Perry said on Twitter :"It takes 2 to make a great match", and I totally agree, as we need to congratulate Judd Trump, what a match he did, I must admit that I thought the match was over for him at 8-3 down, never thought he could come back too strong, it's the kind of match that we didn't wish to have a loser, anyway I think he will come very strong to the UK Championship later this month.

The next Event on the Snooker Calendar, will be the European Tour (Ruhr Open), running from November 19 to 23, but the Snooker lights now all come to the UK Championship, which will start November 25 and have it's final on December 7th.
