This match had it all: both players potting and cueing on the highest level, both players missing easy shots, dramatic comebacks and plottwists, a beautiful fluke at the right time (or the wrong time, depends ) , Ronnie on his knees (literally) and last but not least, Cesar eventually editing it in his masterful fashion. Great watch.

[@castleanthrax1833]

And Joe Johnson giving his usual "never shut up" comment's. I'm only 2 minutes in, and he's annoying me already.

[@bhanuchaturvedi175]

Bro the editing done by you is just extraordinary. I can’t explain how much I enjoyed every bit of this video and the end music was just cherry on top

[@mesbahwali4841]

What a match,what a player,what a channel,Thanks Cesar🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Morphior]

Man, the editing is second to none. Incredible work.

[@cahg3871]

What an outstanding match.Anthony McGill showed real heart rebounding from 4-1 to close the gap to 4-3.Another great upload Cesar,thanks.✌️

[@rherbert57]

Thoroughly enjoyed every second. It's always nice to see Ronnie respond to pressure, because nobody does it better.

[@SuchaDoofus]

Only Hendry was his equal in that respect.

[@brindsanandiya6298]

Thats naughty america's line, no buddy does it better. LoL. JUST KIDDING....

[@john_wheels]

Cesar is the true master of editing!

[@glenpaul3606]

Ronnie is just so awesome ! He is without a doubt the best player the world has ever seen and an absolute joy to watch !!

[@chrisb9242]

Great match. Great editing.😀

[@heroeric1024]

Ronnie 's game was out of this world during 2017 English Open. Despite the sprained ankle, every game he played was an art to watch. I remember watching the final against Wilson - he was just unstoppable. Looking forward to more of your quality edits of Ronnie's shots from 2017 English Open.

[@jaberwoky_]

I've watched these games before - still watch enthusiastically! McGill was tremendous! Ronnie was Ronnie!

[@bullsnutsoz]

that cueball red strike zone shows you have more than a great knowledge of snooker...........thanks

[@jdmillar86]

I've said this before on another of your videos, but it always impresses me how you keep the audio transitions smooth and everything so seamless when you edit these. I've watched snooker on a bunch of channels, and I appreciate and enjoy all of it, but your edits truly are the best. Nothing choppy or jarring to pull us out of the moment.

[@RobertT1999]

I didn't realise this video had the waiting between shots cut up at first. I started brushing my teeth before the video started, saw McGill's first pot and then by time I looked back, McGill was suddenly on 25 haha

[@BlakesPipes]

This is my streaming. So much to see after you missed a sport and came into it late.

[@prakasavigraha6104]

Great match selection; unmatched editing as usual. First class presentation.

[@chunwingha7394]

I really love to watch this Sneakered version of ROS!!!! The whole tornment he's so calm and relax. even missed the easy shot, he didnt get mad of himself.

[@lelyollo4926]

Great video man. Love em like every single one of yours!! I wanna watch more movies but I never take the time to do that. I do take the time to watch your 40-60min videos though. Speaks volumes about how entertaining your work truly is.

[@havesomegratitude]

Gotta love a good Cesar upload ❤️

[@DJ-ct6so]

21:59 - amazing pot - and it wasn't by Ronnie!! In the 6th frame I was just thinking how Ronnie was a machine and then he missed those two easy blacks. Ronnie is still the greatest breakbuilder though, his skill at consistently potting and simultaneously gaining good position with the cue ball is unparalleled imho.

[@johnsrabe]

I love how Ronnie always takes a few extra seconds at the end to chat with his victim or victor. It’s classy.

[@FloydMaxwell]

As Ronnie works through a break, the shots get easier. This happens to no other snooker player.

[@jimski5358]

Nice edit

[@thomasribbans1175]

I don't find snooker anywhere near as exciting without ronnie playing

[@shahidkhan69]

his live performances are so great, u can have a look at them aswell :)

[@GetMeThere1]

Nice battle. Nice play.

[@tinkertailor7385]

Now that was entertaining.

[@castleanthrax1833]

Aside from Joe Johnson never shutting up, that was quite enjoyable.

[@srtrades]

I appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos, Cesar! One request, could we expect videos where Ronnies looses too? So that there is some anticipation in the videos. In every video he wins 😁

[@lelyollo4926]

Not true, there are some videos where he loses too. I think it’s just that usually when Ronnie plays well enough to warrant an upload he wins, if he loses often he plays careless lol

[@taylorribeiro1898]

He's machine !

[@FloydMaxwell]

Ronnie dispatching that 5th frame. As good as it gets.

[@pure_awareness]

He was showing some of his A game, unreal

[@anonymous83245]

[@nqqonnie]

Im truly grateful if i’ve had Ronnie’s left hand😂

[@iEnayath]

7:27 - McGill's Red centre

[@fireraya4235]

39:25 where did that red go

[@jamespatrickwoods]

At his best no one better that's why he is the most successful player in snooker history!

[@redblade8160]

The only way to beat O'Sullivan, is to get maximum break in every frame, right from the beginning.

[@TtTt-jk3pc]

พี่รอนนี่ แล้ว พบ กับ เค้า ในศึกนี้มีเฮ น้องมิ้งค์ พร้อมไหมครับ

[@descarroll2039]

Can Joe Johnson please please shut up for a few minutes, so we can enjoy the game.....

[@NM-ep1bg]

Heart please cesar

that last pink shows how big pockets are these days

[@cliveayers871]

The pockets these days are as small as they ever have been.its just that the camera from behind the pocket makes them look a lot bigger

When did prince harry start playing snooker

[@dadandtheo1480]

McGill always looks angry top player though

[@mdlouie]

am i the only one who thinks this commentator talks too much?

[@redblade8160]

Mark Louie. I think the commentator gets paid £100 per word; so he's taking full advantage of it.

I don't like the editing. Just saying.

[@jamesstead2256]

once every never players, That makes no sense to me

[@jaberwoky_]

Me either. Ya, ROS is a notch up but there are so many great players nipping at his heels. McGill was awesome this match. I hope to continue watching Ronnie for a few more years. His game certainly isn't failing.

Рони ГЕНИЙ!!!!!!!!!!!
