Another titanic clash this afternoon at the World Open...

[Titanic]

Ronnie O'Sullivan v Stephen Hendry

Best of 5 frames... live now on BBC2.

Ronnie 'The Rocket' O'Sullivan (3 times World Champion) v Stephen 'The King of the Crucible / The Pride of Scotland' Hendry (7 times World Champion).

Let's get the boys on the baize!!!

 

[The Peanut Roaster]

The only time I like playing snooker is with a girlie when I often score 10 points. ( minus a foul shot or 2, of course )

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Blink and you'll miss him...

Good start for Ron - strange choice of shot from Hendry

 

[Titanic]

The Wonder Bairn has a frame-winning opportunity in the second... can he win it in one visit, to reply to Ronnie's magnificent opening 93?

 

[Moshe Gariani]

looks all set to level at one frame all

this has the makings of a classic

 

[Titanic]

Indeed he can... 95 wins it... 1-1

Can't get used to this format, and can't believe it has replaced the much loved Grand Prix which was my favourite snooker tournament on the calendar.

 

[Titanic]

Willy Thorne's eyes are going... "I think he can get through to this" - it was a full ball snooker!!

 

[Titanic]

2-1 to Ronnie after a scrappy third... and he's in in the next... looking ominous for the seven-times world champion.

 

[Titanic]

Blimey - Ronnie has a twitchy one and breaks down on 66...

 

[Titanic]

and it's all over, almost before it's begun... 3-1 to Ronnie O.

 

[Durlston]

Ricky Walden in the quarter-finals. Getting excited about my fiver each-way on him at 40/1.. Anyone but Ronnie in the draw later on please!
