Now...

Best of 11

2-1 v Maflin. Might be going 2-2 into the interval.

Ronnie could do with a result.

The Rocket is all over the place here... missed frame ball in the last... went 4-3 down... and has just let Maffin in again at 63-0, given him a sniff when he was dead and buried...

Came through with a ton to take the tenth frame and win 6-4.

Clearly not firing on all cylinders yet. Interesting to see how he goes against one of the bigger guns if he gets through the next round.

Travelling to China does things to Ronnie's head. I'm really glad he's made two tournaments over there but he just decides to go for everything on the table. He can get away with it against lower ranked players but if he comes up against a top 16 player, it may be wise to bet against him.

I think at this stage of his career he knows that ONLY Judd Trump has the slight edge over him but to Ronnie, he's a perfectionist and wants to play unbelievable snooker all the time. He's accepting that on his day - like Phil Taylor in darts - he can slaughter anyone but Trump is the Michael Van Gerwen and the man that will be the crowd puller when Ronnie retires, hopefully not for a few more years as he does incredible to battle his time with travelling, snooker, bipolar disorder and his children.

He has Michael Holt in the next round who has already defeated him a couple of times on television this year and who also beat Neil Robertson at the Crucible this year. Ronnie will need to step up otherwise that could be a real banana skin match for him.

Ronnie trailing 2-1 to Michael Holt... live on Eurosport... a blessed relief from PMQs and the Daily Politics!

Holt misses frame ball in the 5th... leaves Ronnie with a red and the colours to clean up and steal a win... 3-2

Both missing chances to win the 6th... Holt leads 56-32 and misses another and sticks Ronnie up... nervy stuff

Re-rack in the 7th.... after a lengthy exchange with black stuck over the pocket with a cluster of reds round it... not much fun watching Ronnie struggle like this.

The 8th is another scrappy affair, littered with misses, but Holt makes the two breaks that matter and is on the hill, leading 5-3.
