[Colin]

much respect for Mark's honesty. Love watching these 2.

[Henry Klassen]

Mark declaring that he touched the yellow tells me that he’s a man of integrity, I have a lot of respect for that kind of person.

[Tony Naccarato]

Great players, great ambassadors for the game, utmost respect from Canada.

[CAHG]

Down 2 frames and still calls himself for a foul-that’s integrity.Mark Williams showed what a true sportsman he is.👍

[Floyd Maxwell]

Mark Williams is a treat to watch and one of the all-time best.

[Greebo]

"Titans" is right. So very different, but so evenly matched. It often seems to me that Mark can put ROS off his game more than nearly anyone. Of course, an off his game ROS is still bloody dangerous. Great editing with what you had to work with, Cesar.

[Sam AL]

48:42 Mark declaring that he touched the yellow while being two frames down deserves respect on its own.

[Redblade]

Williams did not touch the yellow ball, it's a fix!

[Jack Buff]

How they didn't mention the bounce at 9:51 is mental!

[Troy McCarthy]

The way the empty chairs applaud is amazing.

[Floyd Maxwell]

Who says he is way past his best? This isn't female gymnastics. Ronnie's head game has never been better. His stroke is pure. He has been and is the GOAT for a variety of reasons.

[wbfaulk]

Mark Williams, apparently.

[pimpson]

this sounds like it should be a comment on p***hub about a male star🤣

[Oscar scavuzzo]

"El Rey del juego" 👏👏👏

[SERGIO LUIZ RODRIGUEZ]

acompanhando co muito interesse esta apresentação. muito abrigado.

[Floyd Maxwell]

That Century in the 20th frame -- thing of beauty

[Hamidreza Pirkalkhoran]

I follow Snooker, Football, Basketball, NFL and Golf. You might disagree with me, but for me, Ronnie is alongside guys like Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Tiger Woods and Pele. The longevity of his greatness is just magnificent.

[Hubert]

Nobody in their right mind would disagree with that. He’s maybe the most impressive and successful sportsman ever.

[Snooker 2.0]

Both are good but Ronnie is just awesome

[Dave Maclean]

I always enjoy seeing Ronny and also Jan Verhaas.

[marilyn mann]

Ronnie o'Sullivan IS Brilliant. I could watch him all day, xx

[John Alpha]

Cesar, another refined edit from the king of youtube snooker.

[Jack Buff]

Why Mark didn't put running side on that at 24:24 is beyond me. Surely ant player knows that doing that throws the object ball much closer to the pocket.. Especially one with your own club!

[JasperXoR]

Worth watching just for 31:46 shot and Mark's expression

[Bagpuss Macfarlan]

Yep, I came looking for this comment - very amusing reaction, said it all

[Тамара Гонтарь]

Потрясщий Марк Уильямс!!! И Ронни я ТОЖЕ ОЧЕНЬ люблю!!!! Даже не знаю, кого больше люблю. Оба самые-самые потрясающие!!!

[Юрий Кеслер]

Здравствуйте Вам из Израиля. Джад - следующий Рони.

[Albert Vieira]

The rocket needs to shoot Easy Not so hardHis game will improve Both commentators spot onJob well doneSteven Henry I'm just watching you play The Lord's blessings speak with you

[Man jago]

And then the end.."the face expression" from Ronnie

[Albert Vieira]

To the commentators job well done all for you I would've wiped it in the rocket It is object all of a little bit easier He would have had an easier game Missing that easy red in the left corner I did shot that 1 easy he would have made it Steven Henry you are one awesome commentator you are sbottom I'm just watching you play Keep up the good work commentating your worth every Every dollar you make The Lord's blessings be with both of you commentators Job well done Double thumbs up

[Floyd Maxwell]

14:05 - amazing shot choice and execution

[Mike]

Well. That solves the dilemna, I have no business of entertaining the thought of participating in a friendly game of snooker. Both Mark and Ronnie kick some solid ass!!

[Peter Jacquemart]

If Ronnie loses..it's because of himself..not being outplayed

[Mister Ree]

My 2 favourite players.

[Юрий Кеслер]

Джаду РЕСПЕКТ!!! Как всегда,победил СНУКЕР!

[JMRSplatt]

"Worrying mistakes, from Ronnie" LOL

[Ben Casey]

You would have thought using cheers that they put some “c’mon Ronnie” there 😂

[Jack Buff]

hahaha!

[DifferentialTim]

Ronnie like Tiger Woods, has the power, touch and shots that many pros cant play or even see! So on his day, error free, you cant beat him and this match showed error after error and even Williams was missing as strangely it can put you off sometimes when a good player is missing instead of giving you confidence- funny that and Osullican missing that crucial blue at the end putting all that power on it shows his mindset wasnt right. He never misses those like davis and hendry. 100% especially on strategic balls and end games, you just pot them no matter what else.

[David Borger]

I miss the "COME ON RONNIE"

[Tigran Tigran]

Последний фрейм очень красивый.

[Юрий Кеслер]

Джад в ударе!

[Paul Mairs]

Dennis Taylor and Hendry gutted 😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Boris Strijlev]

This last frame sums up the entire Williams - O'Sullivan rivalry. Instead of playing his normal game, Mark goes for some very inventive and risky shots trying to hold off ROS which create both (i) easy openings for the Rocket and also (ii) a very open set up on the table , always favouring the better break-builder among the pair (which is Ronnie undoubtedly). In addition, most of the nudges go ROS' way, just look at that misjudged safety shot when he caught the red thin and pushed it towards the corner pocket, but the cue ball collided with the jaws of the middle pocket and the green and went in the only possible safe position. That said, I think it was Williams' fault to declare that 'ghost' foul on the yellow which nobody else saw. Jan Verhaas shouldn't have called the free ball, it was obviously very tight and a matter of millimetres (as he changed his initial call), if you are not 100% sure, do not make such decision at this stage....

[Teddi755 OG]

Marks cue looks like it weighs 50kgs lol I dont know why I always think its a heavy cue 😅

[Snookerclub147]

Nice played

[Ayyub Vernon]

Dennis and Stephen H are the best commentating team

[H2 oussama]

I garantee you he missed the blue on purpose ; he felt guilty for getting a free ball ; so he gave mark another chance

[Bob Hunt]

The quarterfinals of a championship and Mark Williams calls a foul on himself @48:40. Compare that kind of sportsmanship in snooker to the sportsmanship in any other sport, particularly women's tennis with the screams, grunts and arguing every call of the umpire.

[Free Video Courses]

Williams is not more than 10% in front of the greatest Ronnie.

[陳高佬]

👏👏👏👏👏

[Anno Ruse]

The fake applause being piped in for these 2020 matches makes it sound even cheaper than usual. For such a great sport it sure has low production values. Surprised they don't have hotdog vendors in the stands for all of Ronnie's drunk fans.

[Sketches for you]

@Richard Honestly, I don’t like hot dogs. Maybe it’s because I’ve never had a good one…ketchup is awesome.

[Richard]

@John Alpha Thanks John. I also like hot dogs with chili and cheese, and onions. And I'll never understand people who put ketchup on a hot dog. But I digress...

[John Alpha]

@Richard Well said, good taste 🤩

[literallythisguy]

@Ralph Reilly are you always in such a good mood?

[Richie's Real News UK]

@Mihai Stan Reminds me of when they had cardboard cutouts of fans at empty football stadium!

[Sergey Arhipenko]

Первый раз вижу контровой!

[margarita]

not past his best

[Abraham Delatorre]

Empty seats and somehow there is clapping.

[Peter Jacquemart]

If you have a chance to put Ronnie away..you had better do it then

[Phil Beddoes]

no Crowd wheres the applause coming from ?

[james hollingshead]

They play applause and audience reactions that have been recorded through speakers

[Brenden Malzard]

I hate when they have nobody in the crowd but they still news the sound of the people this is really dumb

[Greebo]

That red at 31:45 , anyone else it's a lucky fluke, but with Ronnie???

[margarita]

hendry gone from hero to zero

[mika nein]

at 40:56 pretend the white was touching the brown. if that was a red ball it would be touching ball. but it's a color so it's not? so if it was touching the brown wouldn't that be a 4-point penalty for that shot no matter how he hits it?

[Cesar Muroya]

You must always play the cue ball away from the touching ball. If it is a Ball on, it doesn't matter if you hit any balls or none; If it is a Ball not on, you must hit the Ball on first. E.g., you are touching the brown, but you declare the black.

[mika nein]

@sora neptune so if you're touching ball is up against a red and you're on a red then you don't have to hit anything. but if you're touching ball is up against a color and you're on a color then you do have to hit something and declare it?

[sora neptune]

No , if it was a touching ball with the brown as long as you don't touch the touching ball with the white ball again is not considered "hitting" the touching ball . This is the same with reds but the rules state that if you are touching with the red , you don't have to hit a red at all for the next shot . Not that you are "hitting" a red when playing away , on a touching ball shot.

[Woah Black Betty]

Who tf is applauding?

[R]

Terrible idea

[Greebo]

The machine...

[Mede will]
