That 5th frame century was a thing of beauty

[@corallaroc2946]

13:18 Yes, Dennis Taylor is not the most exciting commentator but his eye for the line of shots is one of the best in the business. Great example for that.

[@johnl4469]

Gotta say I love watching Ronnie. Thanks Cesar, great work as usual mate.

[@h2oussama988]

THAT first break was absolutely tremendous , it had it all , GENUIIIIIS

[@delayedcreator4783]

his break building is always a work of art🤌

[@corallaroc2946]

Great game choice, Cesar! I always like watching McGill. For some reason, he finds himself fighting an uphill battle more often than not but is just a relentless competitor able to perform under the highest of pressures.

[@fabrizziolevoni849]

It's funny how the commentators never understand how Ronnie will succeed to reach this or that ball 😂 . Never easy to understand a genius 🤷

[@chadcollins6797]

Love the commentary added at 25:06. ....Bangin your head against a brick wall. Suddenly the mediocre snooker player can understand and empathize with the amazing player that is Anthony.

[@Leakh6161]

Thanks Mr. Muroya! Very interesting match and good video again. Watched with great pleasure.I love how you show players' eyes during the shot Ronnie's eyes sparkle like a predator's when he catches his prey! ❤❤❤

16:34 Ronnie’s moan 😆

[@Fabaoguitarbrazil]

That shot to the right middle pocket was ridiculously beautiful.

[@shahincoco4710]

the noise ronnie made when he missed that green 16:33 was so funny 😅😆

[@sujanbhuzel5618]

Great ❤

39:24 - Shot of the match

[@fearcrisis2872]

Every player must accept up/down stream on table cloth. Especially when you play to the upstream in table cloth. If you're not believe just hit cue ball with left/right side to upstream. Then you'll see the result which cue ball went to the right side by you hit with the left hand side.

[@castleanthrax1833]

You know, a cynical person may argue that Ronnie was trying to throw this match, considering two very poor missed shots. One was a missed green in the 6th, and a missed black in the 7th. Both were quite straightforward for him. I'm not suggesting that he missed them intentionally, but a cynical person might.

[@robertreese2600]

The ending.

[@khalle3163]

Well... they play better than me!

[@johnsrabe]

25:31 The outburst.

[@niddee1876]

ทุกการแข่งขันคุณรอนนี่สร้างฝันให้แฟนๆ

[@frankdelar]

24:33 and 31:40 , Ronnie didn't win this match Anthony fought himself !

[@corallaroc2946]

The first yellow made him tighten up on the second (31:21) so he ended up too high on the green. Gut-wrenching miss that first yellow at 24:33.

En todo deporte los jugadores se hacen acreedores de apodos.(chapas) . O'Sullivan : LA BRUJA ...LA VIEJA.....A CUAL VAS...?😄

[@user-xy7bx6tj5c]

🤔ผมขอท้าย นักสนุกเกอร์ที่คุณชื่นชอบ จิ่มมี่ใว ผมท้ายถูกใม🤔🤔🤔😂

[@akshayjaggi4686]

If u don't want to believe it's ok but im still gonna say anyway...Snooker will be dull ,if there is no Ronnie...this game needs him badly...98% of youngsters choose snooker as a career just bcoz of this fellow...that's how influential he is...If you are talking about Snooker , then u have to take his name ...it's as simple as that...Go on Ronnie...❤

[@user-sg6vv7ze5e]

😊😢 35:57 😊

[@hectorsamame6158]

LA VIEJA ..DESDE JOVEN TIENE LA CARA.😂

[@joedon1706]

Snooker is killing its fan base by not televising live matches, especially the finals. I, for one, have lost interest since I cannot watch any of it. Except this 9 year old crap.

[@SickKangaroo]

why is it amazing when he uses his left hand for shots, to an ambidextrous either hand is normal, nothing amazing at all!

[@uFlavaMe]

He wasn’t born ambidextrous, he learned to play left handed. To play an incredibly tough game like snooker with your weaker hand in a tournament setting with thousands watching, hundreds of thousands of pounds on the line and against other professional players is and will always be an incredible feat.

[@johnsrabe]

US President James Garfield was ambidextrous, and could simultaneously write in Latin and Greek (one hand for each). So Ronnie’s lefthanded snooker shot is kinda pedestrian. ;-)

[@johnsrabe]

(An offhand comment!)

[@jackbuff_I]

Davies is a terrible commentator

[@sdrtcacgnrjrc]

I'd agree. He's much better in the studio

[@johnsrabe]

They’re both Captain Obvious in this match.

[@jackbuff_I]

@@johnsrabe i may have slightly exaggerated about SD 😂 and much as I agree about Yates .. (can't stand him) I think the old masters were specifying colour because black & white were the only way of watching! 😂

[@johnsrabe]

@@jackbuff_II changed my comment because I thought you were talking about Dennis! Then realized you said Davis. Doh. Hendry has become the best of all of them, I think.
