Anyone know why Ronnie breaks left handed and then plays predominantly right handed? I know he can play boith handed but there must be something tactical in this - or is he just winding up his opponent?
Nice to see him with his lad when he won though - reminded me of Alex Higgins back in 1982!

I like when he playe Stevens, they both just use whichever hand they want. It's absolutely bonkers.Nice to see him with his lad when he won though - reminded me of Alex Higgins back in 1982!

During one of the commentaries Dennis Taylor mentioned his discussing this with Ronnie, apparently his eye-line is better for breaking-off using the left handed method.I really really want to be a huge fan of Ronnie's. Honestly I do. But I can't cheer for this guy.

I used to be a huge fan of Higgins. Why are there so few gentlemen superstars any more?

Wasn't a great final though, apart from Ronnie's sublime clearance in frame 7. I'd rather watch two evenly matched players battling it out to a final frame decider after midnight, like the good old days.
That's a little rose tinted. "The good old days" brought us finals not even reaching the final session.First shock of the tournament with Mark Williams being knocked out by the young Welshman and Crucible debutant Michael White.
John 'I'm not corrupt, I just agreed to throw matches out of fear for my safety' Higgins could be the next big name out. He's trailing 6-3 at the interval against Mark Davies.
