2019 German Masters

[JimMalone]

I think Kyren Wilson will be too strong today over the longer distance for David Gilbert. With a win Wilson would overtake Ding Junhui for #8 in the world.
David Gilbert would break into the Top 16 for the first time with a title today.

Thanks Jonny that means a lot to me as I always try my worst.

Like a German sausage? They're the wurst.

That pun is terrible. Wash your mouth out, with some Listerine.

I find this happens a bit with the Eurosport broadcast tournaments. Everything sounds like a kick. Figure that maybe the mic placement is closer. That, and the venues in these multitable setups are pressumably quite cavernous for acoustics

Thanks Mark, hopefully I don't need a new tele then!

Is it just me, or has anyone else found the audio on this German Masters makes every contact sound "lead" heavy!!! ??

[Cue crafty]

Right!!!! C'mon then Mags, your talent deserves a win!

Why aren’t Quest showing this? Arguably the best of the Euros and this is the one they decide not to run.

[crocodile]

cracking results for Jones and Gilbert
shame but they play each other next

Not really perhaps, because it means that there'll be an outsider in the final, which always adds a bit of spice to a tournament ....

[Neil Taperell]

What a great interview , pleased for the lad . Seems to have put a lot of work in .

[JimMalone]

Bit of both. Gilbert played well and Selby was true to current form. Is his shot selection a bit too aggressive at the moment? I've thought this on a number of occasions recently. Maybe all the criticism of his style of play has got to him, he does seem somewhat less inclined to run for cover these days. There were quite a few shots from him today which I thought were just not worth the risk/reward, shots I doubt he'd have considered a year or two ago.

You're not alone on this. I've noticed this as well. He goes for shots he shouldn't go for IMO. Maybe that is also because his safety game is far down from the level he possessed from 2014-2017 ca. When you remember these days, there was hardly a shot, his opponents could play without pressure.

Do you think the top players didn't want to win this ?

There is no way if there were trying their hardest, that Judd, Ding, Robbo and Williams would have all lost

I think they want to go back to England now and get ready for the next few local ranking tournaments
