Hong Kong Masters‘Dangerous!’ – Ronnie O’Sullivan drops impressive double18 HOURS AGO Fu 0-1 O'Sullivan (81-0) Fu over the line with some nice ball striking.

Crowd applauding every shot he plays at the moment. No doubt who they are supporting today. The local lad makes good.

Fu 0-1 O'Sullivan (53-0) Fu takes on a red along top cushion. Drops it in at pace, lands perfectly on black and this is chance to restore parity at 1-1. Certainly a fair bit of give on those pockets.

That much is obvious. Fu 0-1 O'Sullivan (44-0) A decent start to the frame with Fu reaching 44 before running out of position. Just a safety for Marco.

Looks a bit annoyed with himself for losing the white ball at key time. Fu 0-1 O'Sullivan (37-0) Fu ran in a 147 on this table yesterday so certainly knows that the touch is there when the heat comes on. Effortlessly reaches 37.

Fu 0-1 O'Sullivan (15-0) Long red opportunity for O'Sullivan at the outset of the second frame, but not this time. A grimace on O'Sullivan's face with Fu handed a simple opportunity to score with a red lurking near green pocket. Fu 0-0 O'Sullivan (0-122) Doesn't bother with the black as he tickles home the pink with rest to reach 52.

Smart break despatched with little fuss. And the opening frame tucked away. Fu 0-0 O'Sullivan (0-89) O'Sullivan is going to finish off this frame without shedding a point.

Looks to be right up to speed in terms of the table and conditions. Fu 0-0 O'Sullivan (0-70) Brilliant plant on reds by the Rocket after Fu misses red to yellow bag. Should be a 1-0 lead for O'Sullivan coming right up.
