Pardus 1,612 Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 (edited) Can't see anyone getting close to Trump this championship. Quality wise he's had the best season ever, just broke the century record in a single season. Edited May 1 by Pardus Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chartpolski 28,308 Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 His long game isn’t what it was, but he’s still probably in the top four or five with it. His break building , positioning and safety play is up with the very best. Its his first tournament after 5 months off, so he’s bound to be a bit rusty so it’ll be hard work to win it, but there’s still the fear factor other players have when playing him, so I wouldnt write him off yet. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pesky1972 5,660 Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 Ronnie has had a new cue built with a titanium rather than brass ferrule. Apparently not as forgiving if you get a bit of ‘unwanted’ side. Only watched a few frames this morning but he was missing balls off their spots and seemed to have no control of the white. Totally out of sorts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chartpolski 28,308 Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 Missing that blue off the spot was terrible. Got to be the worst session O’Sullivan has played in his career And he’s Xingtong’s mentor ! Cheers, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
antg 1,816 Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 enjoying this year seeing the young lads coming through but watching the older players that after so many years playing at the top is fantastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair, Trump was poor but he’ll come again. Long term China is the future of snooker. The ‘class of ‘92’ grew up watching snooker in its hey-day in the ‘80’s. And the likes of Selby, Trump etc. had Hendry to look up to when they all practised down the local snooker club in the 90’s. A lot of the snooker clubs are long gone, or they’re full of pool tables now. Not many kids could tell you what snooker is. Think within 10 years you’ll be lucky if there’s two Brits in the top 16.., and Trump might be one of them. Sad really. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
