Video title says "Struggling" but these first few frames are incredibly pure and beautiful.

[@sdrtcacgnrjrc]

True. This match had everything

[@rogerharwood861]

Possibly the most reliable 2 snooker players on the planet under pressure cracking game of snooker. I wouldn't bet against them missing a ball if their lives depended on it. Other players you would always worry that they would miss the important shots under pressure, but this shows that when you got talent and experience, nothing will get I their way. Oh and goes without saying suuuuuuuuperb editing. Fanbloodytastic video. AGAIN.

[@DJ-ct6so]

Brilliant again Cesar! Great match between two superstars of the game. Many thanks.

[@sdrtcacgnrjrc]

impressive 👍🏼

[@iEnayath]

@@sdrtcacgnrjrc thank you

[@danieladaniel2004]

I admit I miss watching O'Sullivan play. Thanks for the video, Cesar!

[@mrgolftennisviolin]

I love your channel, mate. Can I humbly request some older matches between Ronnie and Mark Williams?

[@EannaButler]

19:31 - such a Ronnie shot. Big expressive feathers, his backswing arcing, yet so accurate with pace imparted on the cue ball.. Primetime Ronnie is really special...

[@wayneanthonyholmes4437]

The greatest player of all time! Numbers never lie! 🚀🐐

[@studiolezard]

really nice editing. Thanks.

"Fair play calls for the greatest understanding of the social environment of competitors and of different cultures." - International Fair Play Committee, Declaration 2011 "The notion of fair play is a universally understood concept, which underpins all of sport." "Without fairness, sport is devoid of any meaning or purpose." Ronnie is the ultimate fair play sportsman [Regarding Ronnie's "wild" shot at the plant in the 7th frame]

[@skillySaday-lj2hm]

Snooker ist so Spannend

[@johnl4469]

Great match. Thanks Cesar, much appreciated.

[@58nunzi]

Ronnie O'Sullivan was born to be a Snooker master.

[@Leakh6161]

Thanks, Mr. Muroya ! Your videos are like cold spring water in this hot summer which brings us back to life! As for Ronnie ,why do people call it luck? It's not luck ,it's his unbelievable skills! ❤❤❤

[@user-kg8od1vf9m]

👍‼️ МАСТЕРА -- одним словом, правильно назван турнир! Приятно смотреть игру с МИНИМАЛЬНЫМ количеством ошибок!!! Возможно это зависит от КАЧЕСТВЕННОГО МОНТАЖА!

[@ibnuyazid]

Enjoy watching this one

[@ajayshukla4282]

Best of Robertson

[@faiqrehman02]

Last 2 frames were absolute chaos

[@thaisalanagh4079]

Muito bom

[@av_spidy]

Ronnie was very very lucky 😂

[@davidborger9711]

41:05 a safety by slightly hitting the brown looked like a good alternative

[@eamonnbyrne8400]

That was a bit of a strange match from both player's. I'm surprised N.R. didn't get over the line as Ronnie was stuck in third gear for most of the match. ☘

[@weldabar]

Was that Ronnie announcing his future career plans here - to be a commentator? I'm in no hurry for that to happen as I love watching him play, but also wouldn't that be awesome (someday)?

[@FishnChips136]

It's accepted that any of the top players are all very talented and are similar in skill level. It seems as though it always boils down to the player that is able to remain focused throughout the match is most likely going to prevail.I'm just curious to know if any of the players are known to use hypnosis as a means of staying focused. Anyone hear of this type of thing?

[@user-fp8tb8sx3k]

Рони лучший А везет смелым и умелым

[@aghajeeofficial6851]

1st

[@user-tn7ll3mp2i]

2nd......... 😊

[@user-mm6rg5hj7z]

He is not happy with the fluke

[@sdrtcacgnrjrc]

After getting a fluke, Ronnie will very often break down -- or play a wild shot, like here. He doesn't want to win (even just a frame) from a fluke. Seems fair enough

[@michaeljohnson5365]

Ronnie has a A game and B game and when he plays A game he wins every game and B means he struggles to win or loses

[@jeromegoodwin3848]

Not LICK but SKILL.

[@mondeowawa2494]

When Ronnie misses he’s careless if Neil misses o dear New Commentators please or mute them

[@johnsrabe]

Ronnie is playing like he has the flu and is on Robitussin.

[@johnsrabe]

39:25 Not sure how “get in” spoken loudly AFTER Ronnie hit it disturbs the match. I love Taylor but he sounds like a schoolmarm complaining about it.

[@bryanparis1820]

I don't like that he forwards the video

[@viktorrotter9518]

Ronny didn't play well and won undeservedly! - by very good luck. Very uncomfortable and negative, not nice to look at.

[@MarkH10]

At 45 The Officials should just intervene, and expel both and say, "This is the MASTERS, not the IMPOSTERS, and both of you are playing like amateurs, so you are ejected." I am shocked by Ronnie, but to also see Neal have a concurrent horrible outing is just disgusting. I would never offer THIS as an example of 'what is snooker' for newbies to see and learn from. The worst I have ever seen from both of them.

[@khalle3163]

I play better!
