It's remarkable to watch Ronnie O'Sullivan mature with such great sportsmanship now. Nice little gesture at the end.

[@69nites]

He's always been very kind to up and coming talent, particularly those who have appreciated and been inspired by his style. Even going back to Trump's early days. Disrespectful Ronnie has always been directed towards the old guard and people that play the game in a way he doesn't enjoy. I do miss savage Ronnie at times.

Yeah, that was nice. He has always been a nice guy who has had his battles as well. He's very good to the Asian players.

​@@karlchilders4493 😴😴 One can be assured and have manners at the same time. Don't know if you've noticed, but most sportsmen on top of their game have a certain air. They do because they are pros, it is their work. Show me a non-'arrogant' pro, please! Believe, however, you have commented here because you have an axe to grind. Whatever, if you can't see the bloke for what he is to snooker (and the fact that he wai'd a Thai opponent--no-other non-Thai does that), then you have an agenda. With that, move along,

Terrific editing. Every superfluous moment redacted. Short of seeing it live - this is how snooker should be televised.

[@ammoalamo6485]

Great snooker. Two great players with similar styles keeping the game flowing, a pace that rivets the fans attention and makes the slightest a potential loss of game. I grew up with American pool - 8-ball, 9-ball, later One Pocket, but when the pace is on and the shots are falling in snooker there is nothing better as a spectator sport. The position play is incredible, and the ball pocketing a cut above what anyone might expect to see even from great champions. What a set.

[@FloydMaxwell]

Looking forward to enjoying another impeccably presented video. Thank you, Cesar Muroya.

[@user-lf3fo4yt5j]

That snooker is unbelievable from these guys. Snooker at an unbeivable level, just incredidable play from Ronnie and Thepchaiya. An absosulute pleasure. Thanks boys.

[@ferolcat2009]

I like Thepchaiya he has the makings of a world champion but he needs to slow down at times and make certain of his shots.

Statement sums it all up. A much entertaing match than at the Crucible in August. Ronnie won the World Grand Prix title just before Christmas so I will watch the full match against Neil Robertson later in 2022.

Great match. Thepchaiya had his chances. I think in the last game he should have played safe on his last shot instead of trying the green in the center pocket either by rolling up behind the brown or hitting the yellow and aiming to get behind the black.

ผมเชียร์เอฟมากๆครับ แต่สงสัยว่าเอฟก็เล่นในระดับนี้มานานแล้วทำไมไม่ใช้วิธีแบบระดับโลกเค้าทำกัน เช่น จ้างโค้ชระดับโลกหรือเปล่า ตอนนี้เอฟเดินวนไปวนมาที่เดิม ซึ่งถ้าใช้วิธีเดิม แล้วอยู่ๆอันดับโลกจะมาแบบก้าวกระโดดขึ้นมาได้เลยเหรอครับ ก็เป็นไปไม่ได้ ส่วนตัวผมคิดว่าควรใช้สถิติมาปรับจูนให้ดีขึ้น เช่น เอฟชอบระเบิดลูกแดง ในจังหวะที่ยังมีลูกอื่นให้เล่นอยู่ ลองเอาสถิติมาดูว่าการระเบิดนั้น 100 ครั้ง ออกมาดีกี่ครั้ง คำนวนมาเป็น % แล้วเทียบกับการที่ไม่ระเบิดแล้วดูว่าอันไหนมันดีกว่ากัน แค่นี้ก็เห็นแล้วว่าควรจะระเบิดต่อไปหรือไม่ หรืออีกอย่างเวลาเอฟเข้าเบรก ถ้าสังเกตดีๆเอฟจะแทงเร็วขึ้นเรื่อยๆ ซึ่งเวลาผิดพลาดมันมาจากตรงนี้เยอะมากครับ การแทงเร็วมันไม่ผิดเลย แต่ถ้าเร็วแล้วมันมี % การลงน้อย เราจะแทงเร็วเพื่ออะไรครับ?​ ถ้าเราเห็นตัวเลขวิเคราะห์เชิงลึก ก็จะทำให้รู้ว่า ช๊อตไหนควรแทง ช๊อตไหนควรกัน ควรเปลี่ยนวิธีการเล่นแบบไหน เล่นกับรอนนี่ควรสู้ทุกลูกเหมือนเล่นกับมือ 300 หรือเปล่า การสู้ทุกลูกอาจจะทำให้เราได้ไฮไลท์เจ๋งๆ แต่ในระยะยาว ไม่ได้ทำให้อันดับดีขึ้นนะครับ ทั้งโลกรู้ว่าเอฟแม่นมากๆ ไม่ได้แพ้ใครเลย แต่วิธีการเล่น ยังไปไม่ถึงระดับโลก ถ้าปรับได้จะสามารถก้าวไปอีกขึ้นได้แน่นอนครับ

Is he sure?

[@shreyaspranesh457]

He's right, the level of precision needed for a canon like that on a red that's out in the open is remarkable. Plus the shot was a fluke in all fairness, Ronnie wasn't expecting that outcome given that the red was initially in a position where it didn't necessarily need to be cannoned.

[@sdrtcacgnrjrc]

[@BillyF2LJeffs]

Pause at 24:49 - Anyone else noticed how he literally presses the cue onto his chin and bends the cue? Is this to ensure straight cueing since the pressure between his chin and bridge hand means the cue cannot deviate? Really interesting. I've heard people saying that his cue bends but thought it was camera perspective, but on shots and camera angles like this it's really obvious that the cue is bending.
