The One Who Never Feared The Rocket | Marco Fu vs Ronnie O'Sullivan | 2016 UK Championship - SF

"Every time I play Ronnie, I play my best snooker," said Marco Fu, which we can confirm in the final frames of this excellent match, regardless of the result.
Marco shows resolution and plays aggressively, not as a planned strategy, but seeking to keep the initiative as he always did against Ronnie and relying on his instincts as the best formula. As a result, they give us a beautiful and fluid game where risky shots, frame steals and dramatic errors are its main components.
One of your favourite commentary pairs is in the commentary box: John Virgo and Stephen Hendry.
NOTE:
I should have included in the subtitles that Marco won the 2016 Scottish Open title two weeks later by beating John Higgins 9-4 in the final. John had beaten Ronnie 5-2 in the quarterfinals there.
The statistics shown in the video correspond to the date of the match.
Cesar Muroya created a unique editing technique to extract the essence of the game without losing the drama involved. Contextual information is also an innovation appreciated by viewers.
This format is not intended to substitute the full version but rather to make snooker more accessible to new fans. The fluency and atmosphere of the game stay in a shorter length video, allowing even experienced fans to enjoy snooker at any time.

Marco Fu is what I like to call a "cool customer." Sharp as a tack, and always neat as a pin. I like his style.

[@rock-tk1qf]

I dnt like his Pointy finger, That's the most awkward thing i see when he is cuing

marco fu is definitely one of the very few players who have earned full respect / recognition from ronnie

[@firzaakbarpanjaitan9408]

What a gentleman he is. So excited to hear he was offered a tour card. Hope to see him soon.

[@messoranger9237]

Great Ambassador for the sport for sure , 3 ranking titles against Ronnie, Neil Robertson and John Higgins Former UK and Masters finalist 2 times a worlds semi finalist Surely deserve the tour card 😃

[@Xidentals]

I really like Marco Fu, such a noble player...

[@acalex21]

I will never forget his comeback against Brecel in 2017. He is such a great player and gentleman.

[@messoranger9237]

Brecel bottled that match.. Under normal circumstances you dont just surrender a 7-1 lead

[@andrehulse11]

Closing Sheffield Crucible Can anyone tell me if this is true I've been told they want coronavirus certificates to enter The Sheffield steel boys are going to picket the venue..

[@alokbilkhu]

I still to this day can't believe what happened. I think Brecel's game deteriorated in the second session, but even so, it's not often a player comes back from 7-1 in a bo19. It's a match nobody really ever talks about.

Damn I've never seen Marco Fu so stressed. Great match!

[@daveho2230]

This match still hurts as a Marco Fu fan... He played brilliantly in the tournaments afterwards, blitzed everyone in Scotland (11 centuries in the whole tournament I think), then went on to Finals in Players Championship and Semi in the Grand Prix, but surely a player at his class could win one of the triple crowns - it's just the case of what could have been...

[@capnoddy1905]

Marco is a great player. Very unfortunate for him as his eyes have had problems in these few years.

[@spoziscool]

racism?

[@ruaraidhmorrison5879]

@@spoziscool no, he had genuine problems with one of his eyes and needed laser eye surgery to fix it a couple of years ago. Racism to suggest it was racism and not genuine fact? Stop looking for things to be offended by.

[@messoranger9237]

That last frame from ronnie there , showed his class, unfortunate to marco for the chances he had in frame 10 to clinch frame and match. Glad for Marco fu reaching the Scottish open final and winning the stephen hendrys trophy the following event , also a great performance leading to the masters 2017 where he faced ronnie but ronnie change his tip in the mid session interval break to win 6-4 Another great performance from fu in reaching the 2017 players championship, narrowly losing out to judd trump . That season Marco fu was very consistent 😊

I really like Fu, but I don't know how he can lift his arm with that grandfather clock on his wrist. He's always seemed to have a thing for huge watches.

[@wilkywilky7814]

I think Marco fu is a bit under rated but he is a world class player and more than capable of being a world champion as we can see here putting Ronnie under pressure, but this can also bring out Ronnie’s best game.

[@hamedmzeri5584]

Ronnie awesome

[@mikamichaeleden4624]

RONNIEEEEEEEE

[@uhegbu]

I seem to remember this match. Marco Fu had been to a UK final before losing to Shaun Murphy in a deciding frame. You may recall a fluke by the 2005 world champion. Anyway, Marco reached the world championship semi finals that year and nearly sent Ronnie O'Sullivan packing. I guess the latter got out of jail and that century break in the decider sums up the player he is.

[@CesarMuroya]

It was Selby, not O'Sullivan :)

10:36 , hey can anyone explain what the rules are on replaying shots you’ve missed? I must be misunderstood bc I thought you could only make someone replay a shot if they aren’t snookered but fail to hit target ball. I also saw another clip where someone missed twice in a row and got a warning to forfeit the match on the third miss. Thanks in advance :)

[@541dengo3]

Live Marco but Osullivan i Eat Sleep and Run Tooooo!!!!!

[@Anand_Menon]

Can someone explain what exactly a kick is in snooker?? I thought it means a miscue but when I see the shot I don't find anything wrong except that the shot didn't go in...

[@CesarMuroya]

The cue ball sometimes has bad contact causing the object ball to jump or drift. It is caused presumably due to chalk particles; however, it never happens in American pool.

[@markchalled3976]

No other game like it...

[@uhegbu]

Did Marco Fu reach the 1998 Grand Prix final? I think he lost to Stephen Lee. And if my memory serves me right, many ranked players including that year's world champion John Higgins were eliminated during the tournament.

[@CesarMuroya]

That's right. Marco Fu met Ronnie O'Sullivan for the very first time there and beat him 5-2.

[@eddiepopcopter5902]

Why don’t we see kicks like that anymore?

[@CesarMuroya]

Most of the players have been using the new anti-kick chalk for the past two years. It is more compact and less porous, which significantly reduces kicks, although miscues have increased a bit I think.

I like marco fu but i do find myself thinking of when he touched a red with his finger in that sf of the worlds and didnt own up to it. Im not really judging him we all do things sometimes we should probably not. Sometimes i remember id say a lie and feel weird about afterwards and even think why did i even lie and not just admit whatever it was i was at fault or something like that. Sometimes in the moment we dont think clear?... dunno thinking out loud really
