Roewe Shanghai Masters 2008: Final: Session One update
This will be a short update as I could not watch much of the play but following the first session of the final today, Ronnie O’Sullivan leads Ricky Walden by a narrow margin of 5-4, setting things up nicely for the afternoon. Surprisingly Ricky led 3-1 at the interval, showing no sign of the nerves he must be feeling out there, but O’Sulivan showed his class to hit back, taking the last frame of the session with a break of 78. Hopefully Ricky will continue to perform and they can both give us a great final session…

Ricky Walden – Ronnie O’Sullivan 0-88(48,39, 61(47)-47(32), 113(74)-20, 99(94)-4, 22-86(58), 0-95(64,31), 1-87(87), 77(56)-38(30), 0-78(78) [INTERVAL]
