"Anyway, 解除するing any トロフィー is a real 上げる. You never know when the glory days will end.

"If Stephen had played to his 可能性のある it would have been much closer and maybe he could have done something 類似の to me. He just had one of those nightmare nights."

Davis destroyed

Brimming with 信用/信任 after 建設するing a 記録,記録的な/記録する equalling four-century breaks on the way to (警官の)巡回区域,受持ち区域ing Steve Davis 5-3 in a classic 半分-final, O'Sullivan's 持つ/拘留する on the silverware was never in 疑問.

O'Sullivan, who had 現れるd 勝利を得た in eight of the previous 12 決勝戦 in which he had met 猛烈な/残忍な 競争相手 Hendry, 動揺させるd through the 開始 でっちあげる,人を罪に陥れる with a 97 break and stole the second on the 黒人/ボイコット when his unsettled 対抗者 行方不明になるd a straightforward pink to draw level.

From that point it was one-way traffic as an ますます dispirited Hendry committed a 一連の glaring unforced errors.

"It was embarrassing at the end. I just couldn't seem to do anything 権利," 認める Hendry, who produced only a workmanlike 陳列する,発揮する in 得点する/非難する/20ing a 5-2 victory over Chinese 十代の少年少女 Ding Junhui in the other 半分-final.

"I didn't play 井戸/弁護士席 a gainst Ding but I thought the occasion tonight and the fact that I was playing Ronnie would get me 解雇する/砲火/射撃d up. It didn't. I was awful."

O'Sullivan has now 逮捕(する)d 34 career 肩書を与えるs and the 最新の success was his fifth of the year. Since 1997 he has won the 首相 League five times.

"It's always a 特別手当 to 勝利,勝つ tournaments but whatever had happened out there I would still have fancied my chances at York," 追加するd O'Sullivan, referring to the Travis Perkins UK 選手権.
