My thanks to @35sherminator for suggesting this match.
Thank you so much for doing this! I'm a huge fan of your seamless incredible edits. This match deserves you!
I probably will, but later, after the tournament is over.
@@LinusWelt It's Selby's wife, Vikki.
@road of snooker finals The applause was added by World Snooker, and you can hear it on all videos of this session. They did it to make it feel more like a normal event, even though due to Covid no audience was there.
Slowby got what he,deserved there tbh
The way you splice the audio independent of the video adds SO much to these videos and does not go unnoticed!! It's the little things, and you nail them. Best snooker channel out there.
yeah he's the goat
Right. Masterpiece
Indeed,,, our friend here is providing top shelf quality service.
It's when you watch an edit on one of the other channels that you realize how good Cesar is. COuldn't stand watching one in which the audio was constantly clipped--so annoying, and the never have that on a Cesar video. Thanks!
@@QXZ9027MKII or “top drawer” as the late great WT would say.
The best 3 frames you’ll ever see. What a guy, the man, the legend, Ronnie O’Sullivan
Ronnie was magical in this while Selby was irritating
Simply unplayable. I come back to these frames whenever snooker is on hiatus. I've been (as any fan would be) a Ronnie fan for years. But this still absolutely blows my mind. Against the slow, methodical and controlling game of Selby, anyone can falter. But to come out and play like that is universally brilliant. He's the best.
The 138 was absolutely monumental
My Absolute Favourite now and forever
I always watch this 40 minute episode around every 6 months because I love it . And I love it more because he beat Selby. 😂💯🇯🇲🇬🇧👍
This was probably the greatest single day of Snooker in history. Two of the best semis ever. Emotion, skill, power. Selby was completely drained clear to see. Had nothing else to give.
This. Best day of snooker in the history of The Crucible
Not true Selby gave it his all and played stunning shots in the decider, it was just a supernatural effort by Ronnie aided with a tiny bit of luck in that decider!
Possibly Ronnie's finest moment. Of which he has had plenty. Revenge for 2014 and boy was it sweet to watch. 😊
In my 60 years of playing, and watching the very best UK snooker, this is the best I ever saw. ROS is the most amazing champion.
I have been watching snooker for over 40 years, yikes, without doubt the two semi finals in 2020 produced the highest quality snooker I have ever seen, my beloved game is in safe hands and we can all be thankful for that.
“my beloved game is in safe hands” hit hard❤
The day Ronnie retires from the game will be the end of snooker as we know it, this man has done so much for the game, inspired so many people to lift a que and fill snooker halls, no one can and no one will ever be able to play this game the way he does. he is truly a genius and a very gifted player.
I think you are right in that any great future players that come along, if we ask of them - "Could he/she beat Ronnie at his best?" - I can't imagine anyone being good enough, ever, that the answer would be in doubt. However, there are some very fine players coming through, and the standard in the top 64 has never been higher.
Agreed. Ronnie IS snooker
What is noticeable is selbys steadfast refusal to acknowledge ROS good shots, whether it’s because he feel’s disrespected by his unorthodox play or he just doesn’t want to
It's true there are no other players that has the ora of O'Sullivan. Most are just boring like robots almost. The only one I'd say is abit like Ronnie is Judd Trump.
@@jme2261 trump noway has the same drama as Ronnie.
THIS was and will always be the best match ever played in the history of snooker. here is why
1. Ronnie (the reckless trickster)
2. Mark(the patient engineer)
3. Dennis ( the calm analyzer)
4. Stephen (the all seeing prophet)
5. No crowd, no distraction (will never be repeated in history) (fake clapping on video)
6.12 hours of pure genius ( only in this match ; each attempt to pot was also a safety shot at the same time in case of missing it)
7.a SF that was much more harder than a final (close score; they were thinking 3,4 shots ahead )
i watched the whole +12hrs match and i would do it again
I can add one to this. Your comment is best snooker Observation comment, I’ve ever read…
Agree, it’s right up there. Certainly the best finish to a match and the best 3 frames. Wow wow wow. What a player.
It wasn't fake clapping on video. They actually had fake clapping in the arena because of the fact there was no crowd
@@rs-qt1qgyes thats what i meant
@@rs-qt1qg canned laughter. Is usually referred to as fake Applause. Because it’s archive audience applauding .
Ronnie always saves his best moments for the last, the safety shots he plays are totally on another level
This is a historic match and a phenomenal ending. The last three frames clearly demonstrate the genius and uniqueness of Ronnie. He is the only player on the tour who is able at a critical moment to give out power and energy of a level that no other player on the tour can resist. That's why he's the best.
The dude has achieved everything. He has got nothing left to prove anymore. He plays completely free. Pure entertainment. Amazing to watch.
At the risk of seeming sycophantic, I once again have to commend Cesar. Take a moment to consider the effort put into these vids. Sublime editing goes without saying, but the actual choice of frames, the capturing of the important passages of play, and the rule explanations make this easily the best snooker channel on the internet. And then there's Ronnie.
Bang on
The best comment I ever read about the best snooker editing channel on the planet 😄
I particularly appreciated the little animation around 39:00
Good job again Cesar. Thanks!
Yeah shame about some of the referees, don’t think the ref who’s taking the final likes Ronnie at all
First video i have watched on this channel and this comment is spot on. First thing that stood out to me was the editing
This stands out to me as Ronnie's best performance in a World Championship. To overcome an in form Selby that way is very impressive.
I think this is his best match.
Yes better than his world championship win against Judd imo
@@andya5597 i never thought that Ronnie could come back in this game
not even close undisciplined fortunate on many occasions hit and hope towards the end
@@johnkiernan4586 Ronnie wasn’t undisciplined. He didn’t want to let Selby drag him into prolonged safety battles. It was a calculated risk that worked.
Ronnie showed selby here how to play without fear… don’t get me wrong selby truly deserves his place as one of the best but Ronnie went to another level here
Абсолютно точно.
Aye, no fear. When potted them Balls was as perfect as it gets.
In this frame of mind, Ronnie's unstoppable
O'sullivan the GOAT 🐐
Yeah... especially reaching the semis and then going to win it next year under depression... To surprass your conditions and going all the way to the end multiple times is only for the champions
This in my opinion was the best 2 games I’ve ever seen Ron play and win ! Selby was all over him the whole match from start to finish Ron was playing shit and looked well out of sorts if you watch the match you know what I’m on about! He left the room needing the next 3 frames to win and like superman he come back in to the Room a completely different player it was absolutely unbelievable!!!!!!!!! He just went up 5 Gears and beat Selby like he wasn’t even there!!!! I’ll never forget that match unreal!!!!!!!!!
This semi capped off arguably the greatest day of snooker ever in the history of the game we love!
Can’t stand Mark Selby,he’s so bloody boring
@@alfching2499 and if I remember correctly Selby was quite a sore loser after this match.
@@alfching2499 he's also a world champion
@@alfching2499 : Me neither.. he’s got one of those faces you want to punch in.
@@adamgordon2572 or the face to squirt semen on
I can remember watching this live thinking it was all over I will never forget the match or the commentary, felt I witnessed something very special
There's levels to this game. These two are truly two of the greatest to pick up a cue. Last three frames I could watch over and over.
I watched this match live, and had to give it to the Rocket - he played with Selby's mind. The recklessness of those shots put Mark in the backseat, constantly worrying what Ronnie may do next.
Recklessness, if done right, is a great competitive psychological strategy.
Agree with all of that, especially with regard to Stephen Hendry's tactical nous. Every time he called something, he nailed it to the mast!
Well said .... Selby is a dirty player .... must use dirty tactics!
@@786qad I don't understand why it's dirty. He plays in a way that suits his incredible safety play, and that game has won him 4 world titles. Ronnie is of course better to watch, but Selby isn't paid to put bums on seats, he is paid to win and he wins very effectively.
@@Maffchops Selby take the advantage from the fact that aggressive players have disavantage psycology when they play finals in front of big crowd, if Selby play against one of this kind of player(Robertson Trumb O sullivan...)out of the lights he just not have any chance to win!!! This is the reason for the fact that no one from the big players not give to this guy respect.. and they all give respect to Ronnie!
@@dimitrisbaltas2899 you're talking out of your ass lmao Selby is highly respected by his mutuals and considered one of the all time greats. Even Stephen hendry praises him for being "granite". Anyone that is a multiple times world champion is for sure respected a lot because other players know how tough it is to do
RO's recovery shot at 38:49 was right off the bloody scale. And after a brilliant snooker by MS.
That shot won him the match
Often see players attempting these shots, very rarely see them played to perfection.
When Ronnie is fully focused on the job, in the mood and wants to play.. HE IS SIMPLY UNPLAYABLE & UNBEATABLE! 🐐 🐐
this is quite possibly a top 3 semifinal of all time. so damn exciting to watch
I'd say this is the best semi final at the crucible. The reason: the circumstances and the manner in which Ronnie won
@@rs-qt1qg as good as this was. i cannot possibly rate this higher than Alex Higgins - Jimmy White 1982 semifinal. that semifinal was legendary
@@ivangunawan9356 That match might have been for the ages because of the entertainment factor, but this semi-final is unmatched because of the calibre of players, Ronnie's comeback and the manner in which he did and finally there was no crowd in the middle of a worldwide pandemic and it was played in August. What could top all of that?
I remember watching this thinking Ronnie had thrown it away but the next 3 frames were just sublime. Ronnie Scored 276 points without reply until he missed on 64 in the decider. Incredible!
He is absolutely brilliant ❤️
Those were some of the best frames I've ever seen in snooker. Probably the very best given the circumstances.
Could watch these last few frames over and over again . The 1st red that Ronnie potted in the last 3 frames were unbelievable. And selbys comments afterwards just shows how bitter he was . Great seeing selby get beat 😂
This will always be remembered as the “ 3 best frames of snooker ever” and who but ronnie! The legend the myth the GOAT!
The thing that is so impressive to me is that Ronnie was missing balls, hitting the ball too hard, looking like he had crumpled at 13 to 15 and had given up. Then its like he just slots back into his best form and never misses. Its like Ronnie's opponent is himself. The last snooker escape from Ronnie at 39 minutes putting Selby into a snooker is sublime.
looked like he tried to give the impression he had given up, giving selby a false sense of security
“Ronnie’s opponent is himself.” Exactly.
that is exactly true. it's always up to Ronnie whether he wins or not. Ronnie's best against anyone else's best... Ronnie will always win; so he is just playing himself.
He plays mind games,
His propaganda politics is at par with the ..
Part of what makes Ronnie so great to watch is that he shows he is human.
He messes up and he gets frustrated and he loses. If he just emotionlessly steamrolled all the time, he would be utterly despised and boring.
Had to watcn again, the best 3 consecutive frames of snooker I have ever seen - bar none. Ron is the GOAT.
The Ronnie's reaction at 8:48 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
Loooooooll
When Ronnie gets to the edge he is fearless. Either all or nothing. Last frame was absolutely class from both.
No it was class from ronnie
This is an all time classic! Watched it live and had goosebumps.
Let's just appreciate the camera work on the snooker live events. They really capture every angle.
I'm 99% sure Ronnie is a robot. When that switch turns on he's just different.. 😂
I will never forget this semi final day. Just gold.
Two unbelievable gifted legends masters at their job, could watch these two forever!!
Hats off to you Cesar for making this available & even more for the absolutely beautiful editing of the video.
I can never get enough of this match , thank you so much Cesar for the upload, this match is up there with the best matches played at the crucible,heck the entirety of snooker. Kamikaze escapes paired with sublime, sometimes ridiculous potting. This match captures the shows the true spirits of both the players Selby's safety and escapes, and Ronnie just being classic Ronnie.
I watched (almost) the complete match before, but coming here for a Cesar summary is always worth it.
Gratz to Ronnie, he really changed gear in the final three frames, but Mark was a worthy opponent - this match should have been the final.
2 monstros! Concordo plenamente!
Another sublime performance from Ronnie O'Sullivan ❤️❤️
Both players.. AMAZING snooker, the safety from Selby was perfect. Ronnie was just an absolute monster in this game...
It was an unforgettable day of snooker and I think that was the most exciting finish to a match in years. Selby's escape and resnooker on the final red was probably the best pressure escape ever played. Ronnie's match ball, the best pressure pot to win a match. An unbelievable clash of two snooker titans! Looking forward to this year's world championships...
The last few frames were probably the best anyone has ever played. Just incredible bottle
It's all about the cue action mate!
I usually only watch bits of the snooker but for these semi’s I barely missed a frame, so so good to watch
Best Video Ever. Everytime I watch this video I get goosebumps ❤️
This is best snooker I have seen ever played, honestly
Beautiful video!! I keep coming back to this every now and then.. excellent editing as usual! The best snooker channel by 1000000000 miles
Beauty of Ronnie is raising to the occasion and shows his class which makes the crussible cool for him!!! Great queuing with mm perfect...
They pushed each other to the psychological limit like never before and probably never again, and now Ronnie has come back and won his 7th playing probably, over the championship, the best snooker anyone has ever played at the crucible
Most iconic match I've ever seen in snooker history
❤❤❤My absolute favourite player of all Time now and Forever 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hendry is such a marvellous commentator.
It's like Ronnie was in "Autonomous Ultra Instinct" here. Amazing
Thank you cesar , this video and editing is the best I’ve seen yet !!! Also the best 3 frames of snooker I’ve also seen . Ronnie O’Sullivan is truly remarkable !!! Been watching him since I was 18 , I’m 44 now and now he’s got 7 world titles 😀
Профессионализм даже с нотками авантюризма и некоторой легкомысленности все равно победил!!! Поздравляю любимчика Ронни с очередной победой!!!❤❤❤
Действительно
Those hit and hope shots by Ronnie are amazing
Caesar was assassinated by his own people. I just thought I should point that out.
Today that would be considered a 'conspiracy theory'. But i suppose that would be 'hate' speech.
Genuinely Mark has not been the same since this match.
Yep, I noticed that too. Ronnie has learnt from past matches against the likes of carter and ebdon that has was a bit predictable, changing up his style really screws with mark. As a player myself it frustrates the hell out of me when my opponent goes to snail mode.
Yes I have noticed this
Not sure I agree, he won the world championship the following year, so clearly didn't effect him that much
Not taking anything away from Mark. But Ronnie was absolutely brilliant in this match I have watched it about a thousand times already and I love it. I was thinking that I didn't know who was the best player in the world but now I know for sure that it is Ronnie and it should be for a long time to come
And Ronny has won 2 more worlds!
Gotta love a Selby vs Ronnie. I think Selby requires the absolute best from the high scoring players and pushes them to also shine on the safety battles. Think what you want but Selby is one of the best ever to play, and his mental resilience is just unbelievable. And I love when Ronnie is in the mood to win and playing the game solidly.
I am very sorry about Selby's state of mental health at the moment. I think this particular match did not help him at all.
@@fairplayer7435 If his problem was a lost snooker match (Which he won the worlds the year after) I think he'd be in great shape. Guy had a rough childhood. That's a lot worse than a lost game.
@@fairplayer7435 but after thiss match selby won a world title, the next.
Selby has always been one of the weakest players on the circuit when it comes to the mental side of the game, he's surprisingly fragile considering what he's achieved. Hendry has pointed it out several times that he practically needs family members in the wings, often looks up at them after shots too much as well almost like a comfort blanket. Heck, even with no audience during the pandemic he's got his wife into the arena for emotional support. That's weakness right there on display.
@@kaneda010 mental problems are no weakness. those people are stronger than most as they went through hell and still made it.
Ronnie has had the same issue as well as temper tantrums, don't forget this.
Don't ever call those people weak.
Cesar you beauty man , snooker's paradise this channel . Seldom do i comment on YT but you deserve it ...!!!
Nobody Does It Better than Ronnie O'Sullivan. Sometimes I didn't know who was the best player in the world but now I definitely know that is Ronnie
That Blue miss from Ronnie looked like one of my attempts!
I’ve seen this a number of times. Brilliant stuff.
Bar alex in 82 , this was my favourite match , selby's face , loved it , GO ON RON
I am still gutted someone took down the full match of the BBC version of this match. Thanks for uploading this. For me, I cannot remember such a sensational blockbusting run of frames in any snooker match in history that can match this. O’ Sullivan took this match by the scruff of the neck and steam-rolled his opponent. No one else in the game can do this. It’s like everyone in the game has 5 gears but O’ Sullivan has 6.
The ref kept getting in selbys way
@@prisontv3299 Ronnie, yes, interfered with Selby with his play, the referee no
Watching this with my mouth hanging open. Just plain, flat out something to watch.
Legend Ronnie respect from Greece!
O'Sullivan won his 6th world title in the final, Selby came back last year to win his 4th, but now O'Sullivan has just won his 7th !
I don't think Ronnie has anything left to prove. He destroyed selby in this match and dispatched Higgins and Trump with relative ease to lift the 7th. On his day he is unplayable. It would have been great if Paul Hunter was still alive he was a fantastic player with real grit. I would have loved to have seen him and ronnie compete. Apart from Selby I don't think Ronnie has any true competitor that can go toe to toe with him over the long term. Higgins can't get over the line. Trump has peaked already I think
@@gurinderkular7209 The Chinese players are coming, we'll see. I would agree that when O'Sullivan gets in the mood and plays close to his best as he did this year he is still clearly ahead of everybody - but that's been the case for decades...
@@thelimey351 I'm not sure about the chinese players. Can they really compete season after season? Ding has not accomplished what many thought he would. Bingtao looks like he could go on to be a great and Zhao was playing fantastic when he lifted the UKC. But the reality is that the bar is so high now and its getting more competitive and the older players are still knocking the youth out. Its hard to call what the future is after Ronnie and who will be the flag bearer for the sport.
@@gurinderkular7209 I don't think you understand the amount of snooker that is being played in China now - it's on the school curriculum !
The greatest sequence of Snooker ever.
Magnificent editing to keep it interesting and kept the commentary in tact.
If someone is unfortunately not a Ronnie's fan yet then it is a must watch for them to become a Ronnie's fan.
Beautifully edited video, and the snooker…. Wow. Absolutely fantastic watch, thankyou for your time and effort. The attention to detail makes a real difference. What a fantastic match too.
I loved the applause from the audience that wasn't there at the end lmao :D
Wooow, what a match, I was seeing live this match , there is not any match in history same this. Ronnie is exactly unpredictable , look at those pots, every one of them are very accurate and awesome.
The reason why I always watching your vidoes because you know what to choose to post. For me the last three frames were the best in the entire history of the snooker and the last 3 frame"s openning reds were some out of this world, I dare any other player to attempt them with that kind of situation of the match.
Nobody Does It Better than Ronnie O'Sullivan ❤️❤️❤️
Great edit. That 138 break is absolutely amazing
All the pros make this game look so easy compared to us amateurs but ronnie makes them all look like amateurs! I very much doubt there will ever be a more naturally talented, flamboyant and entertaining player ever! 🐐
this is the best snooker channel by far. Editing is second to none
The last three frames of this match are the stuff of legend. I remember watching it at the time and just laughing at what Ronnie was doing, it was so audacious and brilliant. Yes, he got a couple of good runs of the ball, but he was red hot as well.
I was cheering for him
This guy is crazy..unbelievable..legend
Incredible snooker history and just as incredible video and audio editing. Great job!!
Could watch this all day!!!!...What a match!!👍👍👍👍
Greatest ever exhibition by O Sullivan, the look on Selby face was priceless 🫣😂😂
Best watch ever... Payback for 2014 when slowby just walked around the table like a man with a zimmaframe... Slowed ronnie rythym dowm.... Just a brilliant victory
Блестящая игра двух очень талантливых спортсменов! Отличный репортаж! Спасибо!
Ronnie beat Selby with his pure and unstoppable attacking style, even with safety and escape plays. One of the best matches in snooker history.
Hello there, i know there are millions of Ronnie lovers but i would say i'm in the top few who actually can't watch ronnie loose! I just love this perfect legend!
What a come from behind performance by Ronnie to almost blow Mark away, only to be reigned in for a while by a fantastic safety exchange where they were trying to outdo each other.
And credit to Stephen Hendry for a brilliant session of tactical analysis. Every time he called something he nailed it spot on, such as when Mark clipped the jaws of the middle pocket, trying to swerve the snooker with his very last shot of the match.
I think ROS like's to sometimes challenge himself just for the fun of it. He is able to read the table no matter where the ball's are positioned so fast it's astounding. I wonder if he is able to see like Neo from the Matrix while playing he is that good.
Edit: You have the best snooker channel on TH-cam Cesar,again brilliant editing.👌👌👌
I never get tired watching this match. You are a complete genius and you always will be ❤
Remember watching this - what a finish to the match. Selby was way more safety-minded than in 2010 when he won the Masters against Ronnie. Just think it eventually cost him here, but Ronnie was just dynamite in these last few frames
Incredible performance of a genius Ronnie goat
Wow! That editing. Great job. Just discovered your channel and subbed immediately. The match was epic and I was so delighted Ronnie took it home in the end!
Thank you so much for your uploads. top-notch quality!
genius by Ronnie, great video, thanks for posting
always great to watch two great players play the game of champions
How many times i got goose bumps don't know. Fall from the chair once also. Thanks boss.
I waited to here Henry say,I'm watching, probably the best snooker player ever seen..
That last frame was superb. Great play from both players.
"I am sure Mark Selby is a bit shell shocked at the moment" that was hilarious
Thank you Cesar for uploading this.
