Tale of 2 nights for Ronnie

01/07/2009

With the joy of last night came the disappointment of tonight. Ronnie crashed out of The Desert Classic 6-2 to Jelle Klaasen in an epic match in which could of gone either way.

Both players exchanged the break of throw early on. First games went with throw before Klaasen broke Ronnie then Ronnie returned the favour in style making it 2-2, Missed doubles by both players paid penalties but Klaasen took advantage in leg 5 to break the throw again, before holding his to put him in command at 4-2. The next leg could of gone either way, both again missed shots out and again Klaasen took advantage to put him 1 leg away from the secong round. But 2 180's in sucession from the Dutchman gave Ronnie a big ask, and Klassen took the leg and knocked the newly crowned Las Vegas Players Champion out of the tournement.
