Ronnie wins in energy saving mode | O'Sullivan vs Hawkins | 2020 World Grand Prix (2) - Last 16

Neither Ronnie nor Barry play at their usual level, but the final frames are hard-fought and interesting to watch.
Barry Hawkins remains outside of the top 16 as he has yet to regain the high level shown in recent seasons, allowing Ronnie O'Sullivan to win without much pressure.
Re-spotted black cases (available on video) have risen from 36 in May 2020 to 46 today. The pattern in tiebreakers is constant: players who played first have won more than 60% of the time. It's a fact to take into account when they win the coin toss.
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.

[@hasnainhassan136]

I think Hawkins was upset that day.. Look 13:00, why he took rest, it was playable without it, I think commentators were also shocked and just smile after his shot.. 14:10 if black was blocked, why he chose a difficult red for nothing, a easy red was available near pocket # 1. (Sorry for bad English)

[@dougieroberts7045]

Honourable man O'Sullivan, a man of morals and not prepared to compromise on his integrity. Very proud of him

[@RichardHumphrey1]

Some what agree, but personally i think O'sullivan is a bit on the arrogant side. Doesnt get his way he throws his toys out the pram. Always says weird, very bold things in his post match interviews. That being said, he's still my favourite player and is still someone i will always tune in to watch play. Because regardless to his character, he is definitely the greatest snooker player ever. Some matches his form doesnt turn up at all, but when it does, it really does & theres only one person who can give him a good game and thats Judd Trump in my opinion.

Well Ronnie, isn't anybody else is he? He has his morals and standards and isn't prepared to compromise either to win a game or destroy his love of playing for the sake of playing. Like he has said a few times lately. These days he plays because he wants to play and doesn't give a rats if he wins or not.

[@itnaklipse1669]

Accurately put, energy saving mode! Hawkins seems always incapable of exerting any pressure on his opponents, even if he's a really top player, really talented, so it must be his mental side that's the problem. But even playing Ronnie seems to put him in terrible pressure that he can't handle. Ronnie's Casio... hah!

[@droceretik]

Maybe he has lost interest in the game after playing for over 35 years. There are very few players that can maintain top level form after 40 y.o. There are lots of reasons for that including cognitive decline, eyesight, physical stamina, concentration and psychological issues such as loss of interest. It's not the "mental side" but rather the normal performance curve of rise, peak and decline. It occurs in almost every sporting type including football, tennis, chess, cricket, etc., etc. People are now complaining about Ronnie's performances and lack of consistency. I would not like to be a superstar as expectations are very unrealistic.

Why does Barry holds the cue with his right hand while using the rest at 13:03? Is it common for left-handed players to play in such a way?

[@josephwolfe1833]

I have a question. If a red is fully visible and after missing it twice and getting warned, what if you hit the red on the third try but scratch on the shot. Does that foul mean you forfeit the frame or are you OK because you hit the red?
