Evening Match – Marco Fu beat Ronnie by 6-2

In evening match, Marco Fu started very strongly. He scored breaks of 100, 101, and 101 to lead by 3-0. Ronnie himself scored breaks of 136 and 115 but that’s as good as it went for him. Marco Fu eventually won comfortably by 6-2 and advanced to the semi-finals where he will face Jack Lisowski.

Also, it transpired that Ronnie isn’t just a player there in Macau, he’s in fact one of the event’s promoters, with more events to come …

I very much doubt that WST will be happy with that and I wonder how they will react.
