Result
Ronnie O’Sullivan 6 - 5 Joe Perry
In the most anticipated match of the day, in front of a capacity crowd, The Rocket Ronnie O’Sullivan took on Gentleman Joe Perry (I wonder if Joe likes that nickname). The match was a high standard with frames being won in one visit. Joe Perry I feel is the most improved player over the last few years and seems to have O’Sullivan’s number whenever he plays him.
Perry will be disappointed with this loss, as he was 4 - 5 up and in the balls in the tenth frame. In the last, he missed a pink off the spot and let O’Sullivan back in. Joe seems a bit nervy on match balls. Still, it is all experience and I’m sure Joe will come back better for it.
O’Sullivan will now face Ali Carter or Peter Ebdon in the next round.
Highest Breaks:
O’Sullivan 43, 100, 68, 118
Perry 63, 85, 63, 105
