Surprised to see Selby entered in this, thought he might have taken some time away

Guess its only max two frames over the first three days and max five on Sunday.

That kid yesterday was really impressive.

 

I've heard some of the players are on the beers before matches this tournament and watching Mitchell Mann just now, he definitely is  

[purpleronnie]

Have to say I do find this tournament a bit of a joke, can't believe its now a ranking event.

Enjoyable night at the shoot out. Good value for £7.50

Half-tempted to take my dad but he's quite a traditional snooker fan. He enjoys the darts too though and I guess this is comparable?

Only the shoot out, in regards to the darts. The rest of the snooker events it’s a sit in silence Job.

I took my dad who's in his 70's and he loved it.

Yeah he used to go to The Cricible every year, hence why I dunno if he'd be keen on this.

Thought we’d be in store for an intriguing German Masters final today between Zhao Xintong & Yan Bingtao.

 

Zhao though smashed him 9-0 😳

When was the last time we had a whitewash in the final?

Happened twice before, can’t remember who they involved though.

I believe Zhao lost 9-0 himself to Neil Robertson in 2020?

Just checked, it was Zhou Yuelong.

 

So just Zhao left to lose a final 9-0 himself

Joe Perry won the Welsh Open, he played pretty well from what I saw.

 

This season's World Championship will probably be the most open in years.

In full agreement with this.

 

First time in ages where I think you can put a question mark beside every player.

 

I can see many Snooker pundits probably favouring Robertson; however past 3-4 years he’s been one of the favourites, then ended up flopping at the Crucible, so there’s that doubt.

[Nalis]

Just noticed the Gibraltar Open starts today, thought it was strange to start on a Thursday but when I looked at the format it is a crazy sprint tournament alright.

 

Tournament lasts 3 days but there are *7 rounds of play over 2 days, first to 4 in each round including the final.

 

*Half of the players play rounds 1,2 and 3 today, the others play 1,2 and 3 tomorrow. Round 4, QF, SF and Final on Saturday.

 

I say expect shocks however Trump has won it the last 2 times I think.

[Nalis]

Tour Championship on ITV4 has been pretty good this week, last tournament before the world championship.

 

Higgins v Robertson final today. Higgins 3 nil up. First to 10.

[The Bear]

Amazing comeback from Robertson here in the final. From 9-4 down to 9-9 and into a final frame decider. 

[The Bear]

And wins it.
