Well, I survived the wait! And this was well worth waiting for! I hope to see more of Sunny in the future. He’s got such a warm smile and gracefulness about him!

[@ka6915]

In my opinion one of the best match and outstanding editing. Nail biting performance especially big pat on the young Thai Player.

[@yogeshsingla131]

What a match. Felt the pressure watching it.

[@MrHadrian71]

Thoroughly enjoying this Cesar (both parts)! Thanks very much for another outstanding edit! No quarter is being given by both players! But I get the feeling Akani is just loving the test! He sure can pot! Absolutely brilliant! Still got 10 minutes to go!

[@carlkamuti]

These 2 videos have been one of the most electrifying matches I've seen in a while. Thanks as always Cesar.

[@JaeckBoos]

What a great choice of a match. Young talent with a unique and entertaining style, Ronnie struggling. Intriguing to watch, thanks Cesar!

[@FloydMaxwell]

I love that Sunny has an original extension approach.

[@castleanthrax1833]

Yeah, it's strange that most of us have never seen that before.

[@awesomnality]

And the way he folds his leg on the table, when he plays hard to reach cue. His play is unique.

[@Evoskylution17]

it got that "yeeeaahhhh, why not?" vibes. lol maybe if he painted it in black, it would even be a good looking extension.

[@mjears]

Incredible match! And such fine editing and commentary. The best yet. It’s always good to watch Ronnie crush it, but it’s even more entertaining when you don’t know how it’s going to come out. And he knows that.

[@Antonowskyfly]

The Rocket v. The Lotus (?). What a match and what an edit! There were several astonishing misses but the gods didn’t play favourites.

[@ziyadbagharib7803]

This little lesson at 52:30 is super fascinating.. Also, it's amazing that you could play this game all the way up to the professional level and still have some 'basic' situations like this that you simply haven't learnt to deal with yet.

[@PatrickRyan147]

The squeeze shot: It's like a legal push shot really 🤔 Also, it would help if he played the shot with backspin. This transfers topspin to the first red which helps push this red 'through' the other one which will get them both going in the same direction..

[@eamonnbyrne8400]

What a fantastic second part of this match. Cheer's Cesar

[@johnl4469]

That Sunny Akani is really something. Thanks Cesar, great presentation as usual. You make a great game even better with your editing skills.

[@samsamm1402]

i remember watching this live, what a match!

[@natekmoyenuddinrobi3966]

akani deserved to win.his aggression is exceptional.

[@slavalavi7865]

A young man was playing very very good. I haven't enough words . If always go the same way , we can see him near the top or maybe on the top . Very good and difficult job. And Ronnie is the Ronnie. Thanks for two Great player's

[@techsalesforce]

That cue extension looked like something out of Inspector Gadget haha

[@Pierre3513]

This young man is a star of the future quite brilliant.

[@Leakh6161]

Mr.Muroya,thanks for the video but,sorry ,I don't agree with the title.It's not champion's luck, it's his skills! When a player is on the verge of losing but he can turn the game around and win! What is it? It's the greatness of the player !❤❤❤

[@amitbhalla5711]

What a great player Sunny, loved his style and aggression.

[@pure_awareness]

Ronnie has proved himself more than anyone but he can be beaten and everyone needs some luck.

[@henrikhyrup3995]

That was easily match of the tournament. Sunny Akani played out of his skin, showed no fear and eventually got the audience on his side as he entered the arena to begin the deciding frame. Even Ronnie said in the interview after the match that he should have lost it big time.

[@alanpro6343]

I remember Ronnie ask Akani who is your coach?Akani: is my father, and watching in KZbin learn Ronnie playing skills

[@lakshyakumar7576]

This match (Akani) gave me goosebumps

[@user-sr9ng9dt6p]

Ронни неподражаем ! Но не хватало куража в игре, отсюда и нелепые ошибки ! Спасибо, Цезарь, за такой интересный показ, который заставил поволноваться и попереживать за Ронни ! Но Ронни просто супермен в снукере !!!

[@fawadahmadzai7056]

The best player just ronnie ❤

[@mohdradibinabubakarabubaka238]

The great young man

[@99estoc99]

Hope he is back to tour one day.😮

[@SarahSaranya]

Sunny Akani ❤

การต่อสู้ที่สนุก

[@silistm3987]

Some few best players amongst rounie's opponents l!

[@souravgurung707]

Ufff it was a heart stopping match ever ...... I think sunny akani really took the shit out of ronniee😅.

[@dilshadxahmad]

Ronnie is one of the greatest sure, but Akani deserved to win this match.

[@samal8622]

29:52 that pot sounded like a fucking bullet 💥☄️

[@aries3416]

That blue foul with potting green was so ridiculous 😢

[@user-lv1jp8qz4j]

ลูกกันไม่ค่อยได้เรื่องฝึกใหม่❤️❤️

[@jlloydb1of9]

17:07 they talk later, at 17.28 , about moving that red to make the black available buy Sonny already took a first attempt to do that here.

[@CesarMuroya]

Perhaps you meant 17:32. The dashed line seeks to make it easy to understand.

[@jlloydb1of9]

​@@CesarMuroya I think Sonny applied a bit of left influence on his first red to possibly clip that other red that blocks the black from play. Steve mentions the value of moving that red; my point is, Sonny was already seeing the need to do that at his first approach to the table. Some of the admiration I have, as a fan of Sonny's, is his Trump-like attitude to be 'naughty', so to speak, with his carom skills. Great video. Thanks.

[@tinkertailor7385]

They young fella had his chances. Thought he was going to win it there for a little while... just missed the key shots.

[@muhteremserif]

Congratulations 🎉

[@castleanthrax1833]

Best thing you've ever done. Smh.

[@FloydMaxwell]

Two double pots in one match.

[@honeythakur4120]

Sunny best

[@channel262]

แพ้ศักดิ์ศรี รอนนี่ให้แล้วไม่เอา ใจไม่เข้มแข็งพอมีความเกรงใจอยู่ลึกๆ

[@AngelWest58]

wild

[@johnsrabe]

Sunny looks like a Thai Neil Robertson.

[@TheSuzberry]

Does Ronnie seem to like to come from behind? He seems to toy with his opponents like a cat teasing a mouse.

[@scoldedcat]

Ronnie deserved to lose the match. Worst I've seen him play.

[@No-mn3bw]

When can I expect to see you playing on the TV?

[@aloksands]

That lip sync 15:56 🧐 with the commentator .

[@user-dw8ji4ir2q]

ข้ามด่านนี้ยากอยู่นะดูจากการคุมอารมภ์ตื่นเต้นตลอดเลยแต่ก็ทำเอารอนนี่มึนได้เหมือนกันนัสุดยอดครับ

[@ToanLam-un7vj]

Đánh quá bèo mà đánh với huyền thoại.

[@khairulhappyfamily9115]

Sullivan mental lose😂😂

[@umereditor7571]
