Mark Selby drops another shocking statement on Ronnie O’Sulliva… and he replies funny

Mark Selby feels his 6-0 battering of Ronnie O’Sullivan will stop the dabbling and tweaking he has been doing to his game as of late, demonstrating to himself that he is doing things right.

It was ludicrously great stuff from the Jokester from Leicester on Thursday night as he thumped in breaks of 65, 91, 81, 105 and 59 preceding fighting against eminent loss in the last casing to win it on the dark.

O’Sullivan might not have been at his best, however he had next to no valuable chance to be, with Selby ruling the table with a masterclass of scoring. The 40-year-old was frustrating in an early loss at the Welsh Open last week and afterward began his initial round game against Barry Hawkins inadequately this week in Telford. Notwithstanding, after the stretch he flooded to a great success over the Bird of prey and afterward whitewashed the Rocket in comparative style.

‘To beat Ronnie in any competition, any scoreline is an extraordinary triumph. To beat him in the manner I did, the manner in which I scored, security was great, long game was great,’ Selby said on ITV4. ‘Extremely, satisfied. The back finish of the game against Hawkins I felt like i’d got a touch of certainty.

I was striking the ball much better, seeing the shots significantly better, being somewhat more sure. I just figured out how to convey that on into the present game.’ Selby has not brought home a championship yet this season and concedes that when he is battling for results he will in general change things about his game, changes which are not useful all of the time.

The four-time title holder accepts the dabbling will be at an end now he has demonstrated he is playing great in fantastic style. says Rio Ferdinand Rio Ferdinand sends INEOS cautioning to Erik ten Witch and makes Manchester derby expectation Omari Forson unsure on Manchester Joined future with contract set to terminate ‘The greatest thing is for me, when I’m not winning I’m a hobbyist and I attempt and change chimes,’ he said.

‘Those two exhibitions there after the span against Barry and against Ronnie have demonstrated to me that what I’m doing now I simply have to continue doing, win or lose. ‘That is the greatest thing for me, so I can take care of that, I can simply go out there and play.

The game’s hard enough without considering how to play, which is the way I’ve been for a really long time. ‘I felt content with my game, I felt quiet. It’s an immense game, on the off chance that you can’t get up for matches like that then you should take care of your sign. I felt quiet, I felt certain that I could win, which is something major against Ronnie since, supposing that you don’t, as a general rule the score line will be the alternate way.

‘It was pretty much perfect. I assume I missed two balls in the entire match, pretty much.’ Next up for Selby is either John Higgins or Zhang Anda in the semi-finals, saying of their impending quarter-last:

‘Clearly John’s an extraordinary player, we’ve had some incredible matches. ‘Anda this season has been incredible, so that game could go one way or the other, clearly John begins #1.’ Zhang and Higgins meet at 1pm on Friday before the principal semi-last between Ali Carter and Imprint Allen at 7pm.
