O’Sullivan (2)

Lisowski.   (11)

H2H: 2-0 Ronnie 

“He’s been knocking on the door for quite some time now and is due to win one soon” says Barry Hawkins pre match regarding Lisowski impressive play this season. Well post match it was obvious that Jack Lisowski is not anywhere near the level of Ronnie O’Sullivan. 

In 48 minutes, it was 4-0, with breaks of 63,79,124,93 and firmly planted in the Commanders Chair. For further case and point, frame 5, after the interval, a 125 and 5-0, and in frame 6 , Lisowski got his first real chance in the balls. He did win the frame to fight off the whitewash. Frame 7 Ronnie locks up a sublime performance with a 59, and goes on to battle the hawk in the semi final on Saturday.

Clearly over his surprise defeat on Sunday, Ronnie is serving notice that he will be a tough out this weekend.
