Ronny decided to turn up today then. Been very one sided! Dispute him still making mistakes.

Hope Ronnie goes on to win a 7th title in the next couple of years. He's the greatest player of all time and deserves to be at least tied with Hendry in number of WC wins.

I really like tense long drawn out finals. This is just dull and boring.

Ronnie too good but think Wilson is better than this display. I think the Mcgill natch up took a lot out of him

I know Ronnie doesn't come across well but when you consider both parents in prison as a teenager and a younger sister to take care of.

Then the mental health and drug / alcohol addiction problems following all that.

To achieve what he has is superb, fair play to him, genius

Ronnie was just too good in that final in terms of capitalising on mistakes made by Wilson.

A shame as I really love that intense late night Sunday type snooker final.

Should be ahead of Hendry really. He's just a genius.

I can't think of any sportsman more gifted in their chosen sport than Ronnie. He's basically the Maradona of snooker.

Delighted for Ronnie, may he pick up at least 1 more of these (hopefully 2) in the years to come. Wilson also comes out of this tournament with a lot of credit, showed a lot of heart throughout and comes across like a decent lad. And Mark Williams didn't win, so there's another positive. #FuckMarkWilliams

There is no one who is near Ronnies calibre. He could win the w.c whenever he wants against the players out there currently. He will surpass Hendry for sure and deserves to. Incredible talent.

The final was always going to be an anti climax after those semi finals, but really glad to see Ronnie win it again. He’d done the hard work beating Ding, Williams and Selby and deserved to win it.

In truth, if he hadn’t been plagued by his life off the table and mental health issues he’d probably have 9 or 10 world titles by now.

Selby is slow but he is a superb snooker player and really should have beaten Ronnie.

How time flies - felt like yesterday that we had the 2020

Neil Robertsons lockdown hair though - steals the show.

Really enjoyed semi finals yesterday.
Havent watched snooker in a long while.
Really looking forward to today and tomorrow. My boy 12 has really taken an interest which is good.
So refreshing watching a sport that doesn't piss you off.

I would normally agree, except Selby is in the final.

Whole tournament has been great, but especially the semis.

One nice thing to see, the auditorium has been getting fuller and fuller and now looks completely full. Hopefully it's a sign that the covid trials are producing good results
