General Discussion - Ronnie O'Sullivan considers retirement after defeat to Judd amaimu - Wed Dec 07, 2011 11:46 pm Post subject: Ronnie O'Sullivan considers retirement after defeat to Judd
"I will talk to him and I think for my own piece of mind, my own life, there is life beyond snooker. I still want to work and I'm sure I'll find stuff to do but I want to share my life with someone. I don't want nfl jerseys cheap to be living on my own, I don't want to travel around the world on my own feeling anxious, carrying these emotions. To be the real Ronnie, I need to get away from what's causing the problem."
While O'Sullivan was left pondering his future once again, at 14 years his junior and viewed as the heir-apparent to his people's champion crown, Trump has little to bother him.
The Bristol player's fearless style has already won him a legion of fans, and his ability to sink difficult, long reds helped him take the last two frames for a comeback win.
"I think I got outplayed, my safety wasn't great and I let him in first in over half of the frames," Trump said. "I got a little bit lucky to still be in the match but it's always nice to be in the last stages."
The afternoon's other second-round encounter was another thriller, with ugg boots outlet the two-times winner Ding Junhui seeing off the 2003 champion, Matthew Stevens, 6-5.
John Higgins followed O'Sullivan out of the tournament after leaving himself with a mountain to climb in the evening game against Stephen Maguire. Frame one could have gone either way as Higgins, needing a snooker, forced an unfortunate in-off from his opponent. However, he carelessly returned the compliment and Maguire took the frame.
He doubled his lead with the highest break of the tournament so far, a 144 sparked by a superb long red, then calmly cleared the colours to prevent Higgins pinching frame three.
Higgins finally got on the board in the fourth as a plant set up a break of 60 and Maguire failed to get the two snookers he required. Breaks of 57 and 66 after the interval helped Maguire move 5-1 up but Higgins salvaged some pride with a 101 in frame seven and cleared with 54 to cut the gap to two frames.
The comeback continued apace with a 95 clearance to leave Higgins just 5-4 behind but he overcut a black in the next and Maguire made a match-winning 70.
Neil Robertson beat his fellow former world champion Graeme Dott in the Vancouver Canucks Jerseys evening's other game. Robertson took the first and, after Dott levelled via a re-spotted black, the Australian regained the initiative with a break of 71 in frame three and was gifted a topsy-turvy fourth.
Dott missed a frame-ball red into the middle pocket after a break of 56 and though Robertson's first chance slipped away with poor positional shots to yellow and green, he eventually got over the line to take a 3-1 interval lead.
