2019 World Snooker Championship

[lennon11]

Feel Kyren Wilson has become overly methodical/mechanical, so much so that when the mechanics of his stroke are perfect, he has no bit of rhythm/natural talent left to rely on to see him through a tough patch, Hence his hugely slow shot times.

[Odrl]

I guess O'Sullivan was right in the end, Wilson expended so much energy against Hawkins and had to fight really hard again in this match, but this time his opponent played well all the way through and Wilson never really looked like coming back. Hopefully he comes back stronger next year. :smile:

BOOM!

As the young people say.

[Ronnie's tip]

Trump with a free ticket to the final. Perfect for him.

Higgins/Robertson could be a classic.

Ouch. Kyrens face after losing that one suggests he knows its all but over now.

Be quiet. You do realise there's such a thing as 'forum member's curse' as well as a commentator's?

He is getting a load of really big bounces and his chalk does seem to be getting the blame however i'm not so sure. He's used that chalk for donkeys years hasn't he so what's different here?

Oh no, we're not on to Steve Davis's exploding chalk again are we? Absolutely bloody ridiculous.

Looks like Maguire is leaving Jud in amongst the balls on purpose now, in an attempt to end the torture as quickly as possible.

Carter looks similar to Kevin James O'Connor from Mummy the movie lol.

What a bitter and awful man.

I was in our club when he was getting out out, just about everyone had the same opinion of him, that being "angry little *****".

Next year the qualifying will be under a new tiered system.

Interesting. Also £1m 147 pot. If 20 or more 147s in the season then all get a share of the pot.

The publishers of this new snooker game are going to love him. Never mind, they have 12 months to work on an update

[Cue crafty]

Agreed. Robertson seems to have had the upper hand all throughout the contest... so I'm a bit baffled as to how Higgins is 9-7 up...??

I think he's slowed his pace of play down (Robertson), never a good sign for Neil that. He needs to pick his pace back up and stop trying to beat JH at his own game. I fear Robertson may be falling into JH's old match play trap of making opponents play him at his own game, hes an absolute master at this. Easier said than done, but Robbo needs to go on the attack and play his own game to escape defeat. More one visit frame wins needed to break out of it.

It's the natural pessimist in me, but I can't shake off the sinking feeling that Dave's going to crumble today.

I have the same feeling, but I've been wrong about most things in this tournament so far. So he's a cinch to advance.
