2019 German Masters

Good final, although I’d like to have seen Gilbert win. There’s an air of arrogance about Wilson that puts me off - his comment “Look, I’m a Wilson, I’m hard...” is typical of what I mean, but the lad played well and deserved his win.

Nice to see Kyren Wilson finally winning another big title, after just missing out on a number of occasions over the past year and a half. That clearance to go 7-7 instead of 8-6 down was tremendous, as were the two clearances he made against Maguire yesterday. Those three breaks will probably be what I remember the most from this week. :smile: There have been some comparisons with Selby that Wilson kind of failed to live up to in recent times, but tonight was a very Selby-like performance from him, playing his best snooker when the pressure was really on. :smile:

A shame to see Gilbert missing out again... He was the underdog in all three of his big ranking finals and played surprisingly well each time, but things just haven't opened up for him like they have for a few other players recently. Still, I don't think many people expected him to reach two major finals this season, so he can be pretty happy with the way things are going at the moment.

I enjoyed these last few days, hopefully we get more of the same next week. :smile:

Wilson found something after the mid session interval. Good game

Knowing Dave, he probably fell over on the razzle!

I'm gutted for him, Kyren's moved up a gear or two... I think Gilb should have taken the black in the middle when he was 7:6 up instead of pushing it safe... By not knocking it in, he gave Kyren a hare to chase and he lives for moments like that on the table.

Anyone know what happened to Gilbert's hand? Looks like he has scraped it or hit something or had something hit it.

I really like Gilbert's technique/style, very classy old style looking talent that I find enjoyable to watch.

I can't figure out who I dislike more Andy Goldstein or Colin Murray.

[Rane]

At the moment Gilbert looks like the strongest player. It will be interesting to see if Wilson can get something out of the interval break.

First session is already over. Wilson leads 5-3.

Okay. Thank you, Jim.

Are we on an interval or something? ES are showing a Home Nations between O'Sullivan and Taylor ??

They even applauded the ref and marker reposition the balls after Wilson foul on the black.

Pleased to see Gilbert back in the match.

the Germans are a very appreciative lot. Applause for the most straightforward of shots?

Like a German sausage? They're the wurst.

Big lolz! :biggrin-new:
