Ronnie is clearly a great player but I think some people are forgetting just how good Hendry was.

The essence of a gre\at champion takes more than just natural ability im afraid.

"But neither of those two made the game look so natural, it's like the cue is part of his arm.
"

Good job O Sullivan wasn't losing like that or he might have picked off his tip or gone home.

Ronnie is, in my opinion, the most naturally talented snooker player I've every watched. I'm not saying he's the best in terms of tournament winning ability, because we all know what he's capable of when his head's not right. You didn't get any of that with the old Hendry and Davis (although at 26, I'm a bit young to remember Davis at his peak). So to me, that makes him a flawed genius. The speed at which he reads and executes his game is phenomenal. The best sportsmen and women make their play look effortless (see C. Ronaldo) and frankly, Ronnie just takes the piss when he's on it. I'm just glad that I'm around to watch the guy when he plays the way he has done this time around.

Ronnie is amazing - the best I have ever seen.

I loved Hendry's comments after the game, that Ronnie's play was the best he has ever seen. After the 2 seemed to be at each others throats a few years ago, by all accounts they are now friends, and have a mutual respect fo each other; Ronnie recognises what a great champion Stephen was, and likewise Hendry recognises what an outstanding talent Ronnie is - Ronnie himself said he was humbled when Hendry told him after the game that his performance was the best he had ever seen.

These 2 guys have massive respect for each other - I think their respective fans should acknowledge this, acknowledge that both of these players are amazing, and stop the kind of childish bickering we have seen here.

Ronnie O'Sullivan is not one of my favourite players!

So I don't care if he wins the World Snooker Championship!

There is no doubt Ronnie is the most naturally talented player the game has ever seen.
The only questionmark has always been his temperament, perhaps this will becoe Hendry-esq with age!

is that a wind up on such an old thread!

any way no he isnt , he is a genius and by far the nest snooker player out there- aruably the best cue sport player of all time- esp when he can play both handed

BUT Tiger woods is the main man when is comes to the most gifted sportsman!
