O`Sullivan v Selby highlight Quarter Final line up

Today saw the conlcusion of the 1st Round at The Masters and we've had of everything so far, from Defending Champion crashing out to Ronnie O`Sullivan beating Mark Williams in a thrilling nail bitting final frame decider.
For me no result was a surprise apart from Neil Robertson's 6-0 win over Marco Fu. Not that I didn't expect Neil to win, but the scoreline upset me. However Fu admitted after the match being ill.
For me, the players who played better in the 1st Round were Mark Allen, Judd Trump and John Higgins, and the one who will have to improve to get a chance in the next Round will be Stuart Bingham, he really won't get away with the form he showed against Ding Junhui.

The most interesting match of the Quarter Finals without a doubt will be Ronnie O`Sullivan against Mark Selby, who defeated below-pair Ricky Walden in the 1st Round.
This will be their first match since that famous World Final in 2014, won 18-14 by Mark Selby. I don't think there's ever been such a rivalry on and off the table like this. In the past Ronnie O`Sullivan have said Selby plays a negative game, but now he admires Selby saying he's "the only player who can win matches not playing his best" and calling him a "torturer".
It's funny that it'll be the first time they will play each other at The Masters and it's not a Final. O`Sullivan won 10-8 in 2009, Selby won 10-9 in 2010 and more recently Ronnie won 10-4 in 2014. Overall O`Sullivan leads the head-to-head 13-8. Counting only Triple Crown events Ronnie leads 4-3, counting only Finals Selby leads 4-3 and counting only Ranking Event matches Ronnie leads 6-5.
