2019 Welsh Open

[Neil Taperell]

Dominic's opponent didn't show up! Wonder if Dom had any prior knowledge of this.

Could have had a lie in this morning!

Was thinking exactly the same !

Congrats to Neil Robertson, his already 15th ranking title, though most of them have been minor ones lately.
Didn't see much of the second session, but at least some exciting safety duels. Seemed that Robertson's long potting was way off. Still have him as a candidate for the World Championship, though funnily enough I'd give him a slightly better chance had he not won here. It's actually hard for me to see him win a third ranking title this season with his lack in consistency.

I think he said the new baby is due around the time of the Gibraltar Open, that could really motivate him. Or he could be tired out from lack of sleep, changing nappies etc.

Looks like it has affected him , 2 frames up already !

Bit "off thread" but not the best preparation for China Qualifier for Dominic. He plays tomorrow at 10.00 and needs to get himself from Cardiff to Channick.

Looks like the Great White shark smelt blood and went on the attack! Deserved win I'd have to say.

I agree he did deserve it, not a game I will be watching a replay of though.

[Billy]

To lose a 7-3 lead and then win the match with a break like that was quite incredible.

Pretty sure he has already said if he drops off the tour this year he is retiring and might go into commentary. Possibly he has already made up his mind and just wants to enjoy his final year.

Yes he has said this.

Big frame straight to horrible kiss

[pottr]

Big Frame, that one.

I imagine he's being compensated financially and might be in the 'who needs a trip to China' camp?

I wish they wouldn't change camera angles as much as they do, as often as they do, so it would be easier to see things like that
