Ronnie "nagy felfedezése" :)))

O’Sullivan claims he has rediscovered his "love of snooker" and was in ebullient mood after knocking in breaks of 136, 51, 107, 51 and 67 to easily see off Gray in Aberdeen.
"I want to be aggressive like Billy the Kid," said world No 3 O’Sullivan, runner-up in last year’s Grand Prix. "You look at all the great sportsmen - Steve Davis, Roger Federer, Tiger Woods, Michael Schumacher and Phil Taylor are all aggressive.
"They know to play a defensive game. I know how to play a defensive game, Ray Reardon has taught me that, but I don’t intend on having many scrappy matches. I won’t stop playing aggressively.
"I’ve been playing poorly for the last 10 or 11 years. I remember winning as a kid with effortless ease and that’s how I need to play. I can do that if I play this type of game. I can go through players and win without it feeling like I’ve had to work for it. It’s kind of come easy to me.
"A lot of snooker players are too intense and serious. You can catch it off them, it’s like a lurgy which goes around. I want to be laid back and just enjoy it.
"I’m not in this for trophies or the money, I’m in this for the love. That means more to me. It’s just the beauty of the game.
"My game needs to be a little bit stronger, but I’m really not worried whether it comes or not. I’m going out there to enjoy it and take that enthusiasm and that love for the game I had as a kid."

Neil nem parázik (nagyon helyes):
Meanwhile, Aussie ace Robertson came from 2-1 behind to end Norman’s chances.
Bristol’s Norman knocked in breaks of 44 and 59 to edge ahead. But the Melbourne Machine was up to the task and reeled off the next two frames to re-establish his advantage.
Norman rallied to draw level, but with breaks of 56 and 75 it was Robertson who made sure of victory.
"Overall I’m not too happy with the way I played, but I’m definitely looking forward to playing Ronnie," said Robertson.
"I think I’m one of the few players who can beat him even when he’s playing well, providing my long game is working and I’m scoring well."
Robertson’s win has seen him reach his sixth ranking event quarter-final, but he is yet to reach a semi.
"It doesn’t bother me at all," added the world No 13. "I think it’s a good sign if you keep getting to quarter-finals.
"Eventually I’ll start to break through. I’ve lost a few close ones, but it’s definitely not a stumbling block."

Perry az apai örömökről (is):

"I worked hard on my game before the baby was born but I did next to nothing after that," said former European Open finalist Perry. "I was shocked to get through the group stages because I played badly in my first two matches and got a bit lucky.
"Since then I’ve gone from strength to strength and tonight was my most complete performance for a couple of seasons. I was in control of myself and I felt solid.
"I feel very relaxed because I know that if I get knocked out I’ve got a big smile waiting for me at home. It hasn’t really sunk in yet that I’m a dad, I’m sure it will when the nappies and sleepless night kick-in! I want to be spending every minute at home but I’m here to work."
As for his match with Cope, Perry added: "He’s a frightening player because he’s fearless with no battle scars. He plays a modern, attacking game and I’ll have to play just as well as I did tonight to beat him."
Cope sem szívbajos:
Cope is through to his first ranking tournament quarter-final and is understandably pleased with his work to date.
"I’m playing better and better," he said. "It was a bit of a scrappy match tonight, the table was a lot faster than the ones I’m used to. But I’m chuffed to be through to the quarters for the first time and I’m looking forward to it."
