To be fair ronnie had come through some tough opposition to get there first round aside.

Ding had him level after 16.Williams was 6 2 up and a reborn Selby is the last person you want to play against in a best of 33. Ronnie was behind from frame 11, 4 down at one stage and 2 down with 3 to play.

Can he win 7? I'm not so sure but you know he can't be written off
