16-15.

At the next, first chance Selby
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 29 April 2023 23:33 (one year ago) link
Selby on a 60 break. Tough bastard.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 29 April 2023 23:39 (one year ago) link
Brecel has talked about being 'bored' of longer matchplay but I assume that's bcz he couldn't get past the 1st round.
I'd make him a slight favourite as I don't think Selby is in really great scoring form, and he has always scored heavy to win his world titles.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 30 April 2023 11:23 (one year ago) link
Brecel has never beaten Selby in three matches.
Usually I'd prefer a tight encounter but that would favour Selby, so Brecel to drub this guy as my hope.

maybe, just maybe

Please
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 30 April 2023 14:34 (one year ago) link
A frame off one visit from Selby. That's the heavy scoring he needs.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 30 April 2023 18:26 (one year ago) link
and Brecel replies with a sick, fluid 99
― contrapuntal aversion (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 30 April 2023 18:41 (one year ago) link
Selby has won the mini-session 3-1 there. He is definitely scoring heavier now and taking his chances.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 30 April 2023 19:25 (one year ago) link
Brecel made an incredible 70 break. Just some beautiful shots to somehow keep that going.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 30 April 2023 19:57 (one year ago) link
Amazing break from Brecel. The power he gets on the cue ball is astonishing.
Also, he really reminds me of Joe Cole.
― Stars of the Lidl (Chinaski), Sunday, 30 April 2023 20:12 (one year ago) link
Follows with a beautiful 67. Just awesome.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 30 April 2023 20:20 (one year ago) link
That red from Brecel was insane! Is this how you bully your opponent on the snooker table?
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 30 April 2023 20:28 (one year ago) link
But Selby gets the next opportunity. It's kinda regulation, except him to get it
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 30 April 2023 20:34 (one year ago) link
Selby has won the next too, on a 147..
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 30 April 2023 20:50 (one year ago) link
The final red is stuck to the cushion so..
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 30 April 2023 20:52 (one year ago) link
He's going to do it lol
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 30 April 2023 20:53 (one year ago) link
That's incredible
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 30 April 2023 20:55 (one year ago) link
absolutely incredible
set my anxiety off something rotten ffs

Insane
― Stars of the Lidl (Chinaski), Sunday, 30 April 2023 20:56 (one year ago) link
Brecel made a 48. Broke down..
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 30 April 2023 21:03 (one year ago) link
This could be huge now, Selby in after a safety battle.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 30 April 2023 21:09 (one year ago) link
What a clearance this is so far..
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 30 April 2023 21:13 (one year ago) link
Excellent safety from Selby. Has another chance
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 30 April 2023 21:15 (one year ago) link
9-8. Selby is favourite I'd say. He is scoring heavy enough. Should have the experience to see Brecel off.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 30 April 2023 21:21 (one year ago) link
that is a fucking unbelievable break
― imago, Monday, 1 May 2023 12:59 (one year ago) link
Brecel has won the first three frames with some ruthless snooker.
Selby was in at the last but he broke down on 35. Brecel made a great century.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 12:59 (one year ago) link
And one more after. If Brecel closes this off then this is the session.
13-8
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 13:10 (one year ago) link
This is wild.
― Eyeball Kicks, Monday, 1 May 2023 13:12 (one year ago) link
mic drop
― imago, Monday, 1 May 2023 13:12 (one year ago) link
Woah. I think Virgo just shat himself live on air.
― Stars of the Lidl (Chinaski), Monday, 1 May 2023 13:12 (one year ago) link
that doesn't sound like the kind of follow through viewers will be wanting to see
― calzino, Monday, 1 May 2023 13:19 (one year ago) link
yeah should have potted that particular brown
― Covfefe and TV (ken c), Monday, 1 May 2023 13:21 (one year ago) link
Selby should get back to this. Can't believe he won't.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 13:29 (one year ago) link
need to do some mind games
― Covfefe and TV (ken c), Monday, 1 May 2023 13:30 (one year ago) link
I'm missing all the action, prefer when it's on during working hours!
― ledge, Monday, 1 May 2023 13:35 (one year ago) link
No mind games from Selby needed. Eventually wins the frame after a 63 break, which included a great red to the middle. 13-9.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 13:57 (one year ago) link
now selby's safety shots are off
― Covfefe and TV (ken c), Monday, 1 May 2023 14:24 (one year ago) link
on enough though
― Covfefe and TV (ken c), Monday, 1 May 2023 14:31 (one year ago) link
and brecel's pots are off
― Covfefe and TV (ken c), Monday, 1 May 2023 14:32 (one year ago) link
He eventually grinds it out. Brecel began with a 41 break and didn't convert it. 13-10
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 14:33 (one year ago) link
Beautiful long red from Brecel. And then some shots to keep the break going when he needed to.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 14:45 (one year ago) link
Another century
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 14:46 (one year ago) link
Lots of errors from both of them at the last
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 14:56 (one year ago) link
What a masterful clearance Brecel
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 15:08 (one year ago) link
15-10...just in awe at sown of these shots.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 15:09 (one year ago) link
been at work so haven't watched, but what mental strength from Brecel to come out and do this after being pegged back last night
― contrapuntal aversion (Noodle Vague), Monday, 1 May 2023 15:31 (one year ago) link
he must prevail. three measly frames. don't give him a sniff
― imago, Monday, 1 May 2023 15:32 (one year ago) link
Excellent response from Selby after another excellent break by Brecel. He had to make it with balk colours at the beginning.
Two frames shared.
