    Ok this isn't the World Championship of course lol, but its still a big tournament in the snooker calendar.
    Some names to look out for in the last 16 round are.. Mark Williams, Ding Junhui, Luca Brecel, Mark Selby boooo, Barry Hawkins, and Judd Trump.
    As a leftie myself lol, and seeing as Mark Allen is out, Id like to see Judd win it. :)

    As long as it isn't Mark Selby I couldn't care less now O'Sullivan is on his retirement lap.

    Aww I see what you did there, ehh, eventually lol.
    So Ronnie beat Ding in the Final on Sundy, and he showed how good he is.
    But Ronnie annoys me because he's saying he's had enough of the game, and he's fed up etc!. :eek:

    Yes I watched it. He seems more determined than ever to continue. After periods of falling out of love with the game. He seems more relaxed with himself. And still the desire to win. Amazing how he still has the ability to win tournaments.
    I think he has more likability about him as a person now than ever before. Very respectful of the talents of others.

    I read an interview with him and he's gone into some dark places when his will to win kicks in. Against Brecel in the worlds last season. The weight of being favourite got to him. He nearly lost to Trump in 2022 because he could barely hold his cue in the afternoon session.

    I think it's great that he shows his human side.
