White'll still win his "Group 2" probably, next round he's playing Ken Doherty (I think. Don't quite understand this tournament yet)

One of the BBC pundits had Brecel in his "who'll be in the top 10 in 5 years" prediction too, IIRC

(it's on Eurosport, but I can't bear to watch it, their main camera position has the table looking like a perfect square instead of a snooker table)

He'll be disappointed about that, Louis. I just looked up the lad, and google rewarded me with the magnificent sentence: 'Belgisch forum voor snookerfreaks'

He's the current under 19 European champion, but that's not on his Wikipedia page yet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luca_Brecel

LOL @ link to "Belgian Snooker Players" - but he's not on that list of 2

Alain Robidoux slid rapidly down the rankings in subsequent years, partly as a result of losing his favourite cue, which he referred to as the "Eel"; he returned it to its maker - an elderly craftsman in Canada - for repairs, but the craftsman smashed the cue into pieces and sent the remains back to Robidoux, reportedly taking offence because both the cue and the cue-case had a logo for 'Riley', a leading UK cue manufacturer

Luca Brecel just beat Ken Doherty, to play against Graeme Dott next

robertson will win this whole thing. i hope.

i like the way he plays! plus to have beaten gould the way he did...the winner of that match needs to win, to placate me
o'sullivan-selby is a great match, by the looks of it. two other players i wouldn't begrudge this year's title.
― sausage s4rgent (acoleuthic), Wednesday, 28 April 2010 13:57 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah idk why i'm watching steve davis tbh. well other than it will probably end soon and i can change over.

nagl but still <3 him
I quite want Mark "the Jester" Selby to win, because he's the only snooker player with anything approaching O'Sullivan's charisma levels.
― Neil S, Wednesday, 28 April 2010 15:30 (fourteen years ago) link
Ronnie - Mark: 11 - 13
― StanM, Wednesday, 28 April 2010 21:06 (fourteen years ago) link
selby-carter final would be nice.
― not_goodwin, Wednesday, 28 April 2010 22:11 (fourteen years ago) link
Selby got stronger and stronger. Ronnie's shot selection was non-existent at the end. Sometimes it amazes me as to how he has managed to win a hat-trick of world titles.
I think Dott might provide a tougher test but I reckon it'll be Robertson - Selby in the final.

^^^^^yes please

I want dott to win
― g.w.f.nagl (cozen), Thursday, 29 April 2010 12:34 (fourteen years ago) link
not again! cmon let a flashy first-timer win it
― sausage s4rgent (acoleuthic), Thursday, 29 April 2010 12:34 (fourteen years ago) link
Wouldn't mind if Dott won -- great to see him back, and I reckon he is playing better than he has ever done.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 29 April 2010 14:10 (fourteen years ago) link
given the quality of this second semi so far, robertson is gonna walk this
― sausage s4rgent (acoleuthic), Thursday, 29 April 2010 20:40 (fourteen years ago) link
selby to win please

I enjoyed the last frame of the dott match, some good snooker in that.
graeme dott's 47 break was incredible

A collision of two tough players, each with a remarkable story, will take place today and tomorrow in the final of the world snooker championship.
