What a joy to watch the greatest snooker entertainer !

[@1218jmm]

I never miss a single video from the Master, Cesar Muroya. The best there ever was, just like Ronnie.

[@fhuber7507]

Excellent video editing and just gets better.

[@vilmabanky]

Great work again, Cesar. We really appreciate it.

[@MrEst1953]

Very well done you are the best ever. And a total Gentleman. Thank you I've lived 70 years to see you do that . .

[@CarefulAtheist]

Incredible comeback. This, right here, is why we can talk about the greats being Higgins, Hendry, Davis and White...but when talking about the GOAT you can only say its O'Sullivan.

[@ziyadbagharib7803]

I am so glad you posted this. I am so glad you're going to post the semi-final. And I have my fingers crossed, wishing for you to post the final as well :) Thank you, Cesar Muroya.

[@baranray]

Cesar's editing is the next best thing to watching it live. Thanks, Cesar!

[@rolf-arnesand2304]

Things might be going really well - then suddenly something clicks back into place and you're now up against The Greatest Snooker Player of All Time. Great job as usual, Mr. Muroya.

[@Leakh6161]

Mr. Muroya , you don' t waste our time and you save our nerves, thanks for a high quality video ! Hope to see the final and the awards ceremony in Shanghai.❤❤❤ Appreciate your work and love Ronnie !😊❤❤❤

[@sawchawn]

You're the best Cesar! Thanks for the quality video.

[@GlenMacDonald]

Wow, how did he pull this one out of the fire? I was 99% sure he was lost. As the commentator said, "If you're going to take a shot at the king, make sure you don't miss!"

[@iEnayath]

I was waiting for this video, in fact I was watching this match couple of hours, and then I had to pause it, now I came to KZbin and first thing I see this this match by Cesar. Let's Watch. 15:35 - The score board was showing it incorrectly. 47:27 - Higgins was checking the shot 😂 50:40 - Referee looking at Higgins and Higgins' reaction (GOLD)

[@scowell]

What an amazing match... very much looking forward to the next one.

[@allenwilmot6313]

Wow one of best games I’ve seen between two good players thank you Ronnie

[@EricYKLee62]

Tq Cesar, wonderful editing.

[@laikweeseong6506]

Best recording thanks for uploading

[@WrxStud]

The best there is by miles is Sir Ronnie coming from 2-5 down to win against such quality Opposition!!!

[@naveedsha2477]

Once again exelent work waiting for o Sullivan vs Selby video

[@MrShamed69]

I always look forward to your edits. Thanks !

[@theclassof92]

Another GOAT edit by the Master Cesar

[@stevecowdell6622]

A pleasure to watch the master performing.

[@danieladaniel2004]

There's always a scare with O'Sullivan at the Shanghai Masters. In 2019, he was 5-1 down to Kyren Wilson.

[@sagarkandel4337]

Lllllllll❤llll❤llllllllllllllll❤

[@naveedsha2477]

Once again exelent work waiting for o Sullivan vs Selby

[@nbt3663]

Higgins fist bump was so cool. This was a great video. 👊

[@fhuber7507]

Ronnie on a roll is a force of nature...

[@johnl4469]

G'donya Ronnie, you took the frown off my face and put it on John Higgins' face. Feel for the poor bastard. Thanks Cesar, great game.

[@noppornthanompong2247]

When Higgins took the lead 5 : 2 then I changed the TV channels to watch something else. I just thought that it's all over for Ronnie. I could not believe my eyes when I got back to unintentionally watch this snooker match again the score was 5 : 5

[@cyrusaalborg]

The worst part alongside loosing the match for Higgins was loosing the 10,000 £ for higest break as well , He had 141 before Ronnie made a 143 against Luca

[@sandipkhatri6085]

You gotta focus on the match, in the blink of an eye match can turn other way around if Ronnie is playing. Absolute legend ❤ love from Nepal 🇳🇵

[@horvathszilveszter]

A real fighter.

[@xerios4u]

Goat Ronnie is just unpredictable 🔥👑🐐

[@jeffreyhampton9130]

This Channel is by far the best!

[@gaylesudheer7165]

WHAT A MATCH!!!! THE GOAT DOES IT AGAIN, RONNIE THE KING👑

[@peyman1999]

Thanks for the video, I was looking for this one.

[@Lookmanvlogs.]

Beautiful moments

[@alvinator5203]

The shot at 44:13 separates the good and greats from the Legend. Ronnie knows if he missed it, likely the match would be over, but if he made it, there would be another frame.

[@justsomeguy6474]

Ronnie has a gear no one else has when he smells the finish!

[@fachifaraz7339]

Roonie is another level of player ❤

[@AngelWest58]

another great video thank you... frame 4 wow!

[@hmbdata]

Coming at this having seen the final, was still an interesting set of frames.

[@akshayjaggi4686]

Higgins would be kickin himself ...how close was he 😮

[@zariqmin2102]

It was very very nice match

[@patrickitunu4267]

Ronnie 🐐

[@Eagle01900]

It's incredible for Sule!

[@qiqi5277]

Thank you so much for uploading this. Are you going to upload the semi final and final?

[@CesarMuroya]

Yes, I'm working on that.

[@qiqi5277]

thank youuu !@@CesarMuroya

[@nbt3663]

When Ronnie gets to tapping that finger, you better not blink. 😊

[@joseliteixeira8368]

Valeu amigo Ronne aí sim da gosto de assistir amigo é boa sorte para segunda feira Ronne

[@raytheron]

The GOAT strikes again! I swear Ronnie needs to be on the verge of losing in order to dig out his true genius.

[@nursery5314]

saya bangga menonton perlawanan ini.. tahniah o'sullivan

[@weldabar]

Commentator: you can't teach bottle. A few sentences later: Ronnie's coach has really taught him to manage it.

[@josephnulley6808]

Shows why Ronnie is so great.....

[@user-cg9fs4gg9o]

Селіван молодчинка

[@joaorodriguesdias5224]

Muito bom o vídeo: ! Quero continuidade até no final do jogo.

[@birdseyeview219]

Commentator's curse😂😅😂Tough Luck John..missing the blue

[@jackbuff_I]

Higgins losing 4 frames on the bounce.... looks like John is up to his old tricks.

[@joestrawberry5959]

Best comment EVER

[@avinashbhogun]

👀

[@nikitamaslov8895]

Уровень мастерства высочайший!

[@Mk_GoR]

Ronnie once again silences his unconvinced haters！🤫🤫🤫

[@tinkertailor7385]

Poor Higgins. The game was his but for a few crucial misses. You just can't let a guy like Ronnie come back to the table. Ronnie may be having an off day, but after a couple of let offs he'll be having a good day.

[@muhteremserif]

❤Süper ❤

[@abdullahkapadia1476]

Hearing next match is osullivan n mark selby 🥶🥶

[@WayneKelly-em5ce]

O Sullivan one word Genius!

[@johnwest194]

first frame was an example of choking on makeable shots by both players

[@BlakesPipes]

Well, you get some credit on this one Cesar, but I felt like it was scripted. What else can this man do to amaze us and make a comeback that amazing. I have watch a lot of sports, and when it comes to the has been, most of the time they get lucky a couple times during a match of that sport. This guy Ronnie, is a idiot savant of snooker. I don't think he will ever lose the ability to play at this level, but his muscle memory will start to decline as he ages. Just an amazing site to see. Thank you

[@rarm3728]

🐐

[@zariqmin2102]

In snooker Ronnie is Kings of King

[@ianfilmworks]

Which software was used to show a simulation of the cue ball position on 40:24-40:28 Cesar?

[@robertreese2600]

No give up in Ronnie...... None.

[@silverioquesadagarcia]

Que gran partida lo de esta gente es muy difícil son magníficos

[@kenyou1944]

O su. Is the best of the world

[@jaysparc]

You can see in the final frame when Ronnie makes that first long red it deflates Higgins. He knew then, he was done.

[@wt5615]

Love how she didn't bother forking king an queen lol

[@itnaklipse1669]

Sometimes i honestly think Ronnie is toying with his opponents.

[@zakiurrehman502]

Same thing, i think.

[@Hafizmoazzamali]

I agree

[@cccecider]

That come back must be up there besides that 92 clearance...

[@Darth_Sai]

As much as the match speaks about Ronnie's bottle, it also says a lot about John has lost his, especially when he's playing against the top players.

[@ronniecortex4936]

A miss and suddenly the match went away for Higgins

[@danielzwickel7147]

Regarding the quote at the beginning. What's "bottle" mean?

[@PatrickSwayzeOnDbol]

John sent that woman to sleep lol 29:31

[@johnsrabe]

17:01 John just doesn’t seem to have enough bottle anymore; he fails at too many key moments. I love Ronnie but I’d like to see John whip his butt and take another big title or two. (As I’m sure John - and maybe Ronnie - would too.)

[@shahincoco4710]

ronnie is untouchable in china 😅🦦

[@irfanshaik4967]

What is the meaning of bottle in this context?

[@FloydMaxwell]

I promise not to mention Efren today 🙂

[@tylermoss3528]

I am just anxious of the return of Zhao Xinton in September to establish A Real Champion ...

[@tonybarfridge4369]

This is one where I was thinking he's out of form but will come good next time, and we will see all the "he's all washed up" comments, but who expected a return to form within the same match? He's crazy 😆

[@FloydMaxwell]

This use of "bottle" defies an Internet search. Where's Christopher Hitchens when you need him?

[@Baapkobejgaming]

That's why people call him rocket

[@franzlyonheart4362]

21:06, O Sullivan

[@AngelWest58]

51:52

[@chisheen]

Haha! "Ronnie O Sullivan has turned up...just in the nick of time." Gotta love the commentary sometimes...

[@Roffsrandomrants]

I hate when higgins lose 😢😢😢

[@robinmabbott7334]

Well done Ronnie don't let that fart steal the game from you

[@bacgleb]

What is “bottle”?

[@synchc]

Bravery, guts, good nerve when under pressure.

[@brucknerian9664]

ROS: "Down 5 to 2, gotta win four straight ... no problem, feel sorry for Higgins though. He tried."

[@kartiklamba9487]

What’s bottle?

[@John-of4gz]

Holding your nerve

[@Defossion1]

Never be a cheater; it will follow you forever. When Higgins misses the easy red "out of nowhere" at 1:59 every true fan of the game wonders how much Higgins got paid to make a balls up of that shot.

[@gurdeepchumber2764]

Ronnie tough to beat at the Shanghai master's its as if the top players are afraid of him Selby,Trump, Higgins,Brecel, Robertson all struggle to get over the winning line against Ronnie

[@jygawali]

Didn't understand what happened at the 4:55 mark. Higgins commits a foul and then O' Sullivan goes on to attempt a color ball instead of the red ball?

[@jygawali]

Oh it's a free ball. I just heard it now.

[@will_doherty]

Ronnie doing what Ronnie frequently does - waits until there's almost no hope then switches his A game on. Never heard of Fergal O'Brien before - he's certainly gifted in the art of changing his tune second by second to suit what's happened/happening - he's rather annoying at times...

[@RandomConversation.]

Speechless

[@user-mz7oh3wd7e]

Τον ξεφλούδισε σαν αυγό 😂 ! She peeled him like an egg 😂

[@judgetk8327]

I think what happened was the bottle. Here's how I think it works. John carries a coke bottle around with himself. This is according to the announcers version. John set his bottle down on the table and Ronnie comes along and takes it. Now Ronnie has the bottle John can't find it Ronnie is happy about that and one by one the frames are being taken cause Ronnie has the bloody bottle. Lol.
