Final of the European Masters: -

 

Ronnie O'Sullivan vs Fan Zhengyi.

 

My fingernails were gone towards the end of Ronnie's match with Liang Wenbo. :P

Ronnie O'Sullivan winner of 38 Ranking titles vs Fan Zhengyi who has won only 26 matches including this week in 4 years as a pro.

 

Who will win?

Heart hoping for Fan, head says O'Sullivan.

2-2 at the mid-session interval.

Glad it isn't going to be a whitewash like it was for Yan Bingtao in Germany.

4-2 Fan, didn't predicted this after 6 frames!

83 break and Ronnie level at 4-4.

Didn't predict that at the beginning. I am glad I am not a betting man.

European Masters Champion,

 

Fan Zhengyi.

 

Ronnie O'Sullivan 9-10 Fan Zhengyi

 

I thought it would be close when it was 4-4. Prior to the start, I didn't think it would be a decider.
