Champion of Champions

They kept on about Ryan's stick. I take it he has a new cue..?...

Yes new cue but didnt hear what maker it was off

whoever made it would have been hoping they weren't named after that shambles last night ?

[Stevie1]

Yes but as said when playing a player who plays bad it does drag you down with it ?

[Kargetina]

Selby looks exhausted, he probably should have skipped this event.

Anyway, another decider win for him, 6-1 in deciders this year.

Does anyone know why Bracel is playing with a different cue?

Does anyone know why Bracel is playing with a different cue?

No idea but it's making me want to turn the sound down.

got lost in China last week not turned up yet (assuming luggage handling when he was leaving)

maybe it will be sitting there next week for him

Commentators say that Maximus are arranging for some replacements to be sent over next week as well.

nice being a top pro some time :biggrin:

Thanks Dean.
Funny enough I was looking at some Maximus cues on the Greenbaize website only this morning...

Well this is interesting isn't it, good pressure from Brecel and Selby wobbling....

His attacking style is nice to see but a few times today he has gone into the reds pretty early and it's not worked out.

Can't keep doing that against Selby but he doesn't look in it to me tonight.

Luca is a player I would love to get in the top 8 and see regularly in semis and finals. Been a few years waiting for him but could be a good few seasons for him.

[cebs]

His long potting is superb tonight, they were loving Murphy's pot success with the rest last night but I would like to see the stats on Luca's long pots.

Seen Selby dig in and turn things around before now so never say never but not tonight I think.

And again.

Great play by Luca

[PatBlock]

Very well played Luca, he really does seem to be maturing.

Reckon that was the best 55 break of his career.

Pleased he got a chance as Selby got so close to drawing level and a few long pots had rattled for Luca.

I wasn't surprised all the reds ended up at the top in one frame, Selby sure knows how to slow people down.

Murphy Vs Brecel is one nice final, didn't Luca beat him easy just recently as well?

Should be a one nice attacking game anyway with a stolen frame maybe the difference.

Looking forward to an O'Sullivan Vs Higgins match tomorrow night once I get back from work.

Why was that Selby's fault? Brecel kept putting him on the black cushion so what the hell was he supposed to do? I think you will find neither had any choice how the reds ended up and simply played the table.
