I'm a ROS fan but I admire Mark's sportsmanship.Appears very genuine in his appreciation of opponents game in defeat & victory alike.His game is definitely different from everyone else's as he plays shots others wouldn't think of playing.A true Gentleman imo.

12:33 Here you can see the digital display under the table. This display tells the temperature of the table which is controlled by heaters, which keep it at the perfect temperature according to the environment of the venue. If a snooker table wasn’t heated and was left to survive on its own throughout the course of a tournament then it would inevitably become too cold and damp to play on. It would also cause quite an uneven surface. The usual temperature is kept at 50 degree celcius, but this heat, by the time it reaches the table slate and the baize, is about 20 to 21 degree celcius which is the optimum for playing conditions. :)) Thank you for the video Cesar. :))

Brilliant editing. Perfect. The commentary is vital to snooker and the sound and vision matches beautifully here. Spot on old bean!

I've been watching (and playing) snooker for well over 45 years and I've not seen anyone in that time who plays the table the way Ronnie does.
That first yellow to split the pink and black is just outrageous but he does stuff like that so often.

There was a blue he played in the mixed doubles where he ended up splitting the pink and black and the way he played it was the only possible way it could have turned out perfectly to release both colours and finish on a simple red.
He is an absolute genius at geometry.
No-one before has ever had such complete control over the entire table.
Everyone else plays to split reds when they need them open, Ronnie plays to open the black on the first possible opportunity.
He is absolutely unique.

I'd really like to see Williams win another world championship. Great player and such a nice bloke.

Really like the way you keep the commentary flowing. most snooker channels make A balls of that. No pun intended X

[ChelseaMan]

[villep]

This was a game of very high standard. Good shots and great frames!
Thanks for posting!

That safety from Williams into the yellow from the middle of the pack was excellent. To escape from all those reds and not leave your opponent much of an opportunity was fantastic

[stuartsmith]

What a match... watched it live when it was played but what an absolute pleasure it was watching it all over again there, knew the result but still had me gripped like I hadn't seen it before. Love Ronnie and respect how good Mark is absolute brilliant game of snooker from both of them🎉🎉🎉
