I has skipped the Shanghai Masters and only played in 2 PTC events. When he turned up he played great stuff this season. This whole declining debate remembers me at the season 2007/08. Ronnie hasn't won a tournament for quite some time and everyone thought his best days were over. You know what happened...<br /><br />But I have to say that at the moment Robertson is the best snooker player in the world. He should be the favourite for all the tournaments he plays in. Except one - the next World Championship - why? Look at the statistics of the defending champions for the last 15 years - not to mention the Crucible curse.<br /><br />For tonight I recon it's going to be a tight match - O'Sullivan as a slight favourite.<br /><br />But lets just see how it turns out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-41012452682090921912010-11-27T12:08:55.638+00:002010-11-27T12:08:55.638+00:00Is much play going on at the UK qualifying?
