Judd makes 52 to leave Ronnie needing a snooker, but can't pot the final red and leaves it in the jaws of the bottom right. For the first time in serious play today, Ronnie loses position and can't retrieve it; he misses a green to it's own pocket and Judd is just about on a red, which he just about pots with swerve and he can counter. As for Judd, this is his third final at the Crucible and his first since winning his one and only world title in 2019. A tough brown to the right middle follows, he soon opens the pack and then drops in an excellent pink long to the yellow pocket. It needs a thin cut on the brown with the rest and a tricky blue to the right middle, but he's dropped it in to clear up and back comes the black! Thereafter he mops up what's in the open, but in going into the pack off the blue the split doesn't leave him anything to go at, so a safety ensues. It's a poor effort, but Judd can't force the yellow into its own pocket and leaves it in the jaws again. Eventually, the advantage falls to Judd as Ronnie doubles the green but goes in-off; it's the green off its spot from the D as frame ball...and Judd rolls it out off the knuckles! That's left Ronnie one to the same pocket, which he drops in delicately to land on the pink. Before long he's opened the pack, jabbed in a short-range red to the bottom left and another tickle of the pack after stunning a red into the bottom left has blown this frame wide open for him. That goes, and Judd will be fearing the worst as Ronnie hasn't often failed to convert these in Sheffield this year. Ronnie opens the frame right up by splitting the remaining reds off the green, and he's just about on one to the bottom right.

A 66 to go 6-4, a third century of the match to go three in front, then three frames in a row in which O'Sullivan pounced on errors by his opponent swept the world number one into a six-frame lead.

World Snooker Championship final 2022: Ronnie O'Sullivan v Judd ... (The Guardian)

Frame-by-frame report: Can Ronnie O'Sullivan claim title number seven? Find out with Daniel Harris.

His performance in 2019, when he trounced Higgins 18-8, is not just the greatest snooker has ever seen but one of the greatest in any final in any any sport, ever, and if he can find that standard or anything close to it today, he can’t be counted out. Though he’s not the tearaway genius of 2004, when he lost just 26 frames in cruising to the title playing better than anyone ever has before, he’s no less a genius for that. Somehow, in a few seconds, they conveyed the respect for what they’d done and what they were going to do; how difficult that is and what it means; how impressed they were with each other and themselves; the bond forged between them through competition, the intimacy of intensity. Trump then beat Anthony McGill in a thriller, while Robertson lost a final-frame decider to Jack Lisowski, finally making good on his enormous potential and with Trump, one of his closest mates, again waiting to share the moment with him. But playing Ronnie in this form and headspace, a tight one to left-middle is soon gliding home, and nothing we’ve seen so far suggests today will be much different to yesterday. A blue to the yellow pocket, played righty, raises that elusive ton, and though the black doesn’t drop, Judd retires to his seat with a 106 behind him. In the box, Stephen is delighted that Judd took on that first black, because though it was high tariff, he badly needed the boost of sinking it. It’s not as fiendish as the one he despatched in the previous frame but is eminently missable and indeed he does miss it. He takes it nicely, and the frame is nearly his. So Ronnie ties to find the same spot off the red, double-kisses it instead, and that’s another frame in the books. Ronnie is the best front-runner snooker has ever seen because if he gets in front, it’s hard to play better than him by enough for long enough to prevent him bringing it home. Ronnie slides a red to left-middle, the first ball he’s removed in 25 minutes, he’s on the blue, and if the next red goes down he’ll have the black available to both pockets.
