World Snooker Championship 2022

[stavros]

I was watching Trump-McGill when the maximum was done, but I saw the last four frames of Robertson-Lisowski and it was the highlight of the tournament for me so far.

 

[ska invita]

just watched the first evening Ronnie v Maguire session from the bath .... so relaxed now!!

not sure which match to watch now though...maguire came out fighting but i think he's done for now
Yan possible fightback looks more interesting

 

[Throbbing Angel]

I'm on Ronnie v Maguire on Eurosport - looks like he's going 9-4 up shortly

yeah hes potted some stunning and fearless shots this evening - deserves to end on top in this session

 

[stavros]

I didn't see it, but Williams has beaten Yan.

We could have a semi final line-up where Stuart Bingham is the youngster, at a sprightly 45.

 

[ska invita]

4 of my least favourite players playing tonight - Tory Lisowski, Judd "Burger King" Trump, John "Match Fix" Higgins and Bingham is okay i guess but still a bit boring

 

[two sheds]

Great seeing Williams playing so well

saw most of the last two frames. Williams clinched each frame with an amazing break when it looked like there was nothing on. The break to win the match was crazy good.

Hoping for a Williams-O'Sullivan final.

 

[D'wards]

This. If it ends up Trump v Higgins I may have to have a little cry.

Tatiana Wollaston.

She's married to a snooker player. That's all I know.

[Steel Icarus]

This match has started very well

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Ah it's not her. It's Desislava Bozhilova

 

[stavros]

Ah it's not her. It's Desislava Bozhilova

Or Desi, as I think most anglophones call her.

Another late one last night, with a final frame decider.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Ronnie looks proper fucked off.

 

[Steel Icarus]

No students have arrived for my session so I've got this on a nice big screen

 

[stavros]

11-5, in a best of 33. I wouldn't say Williams is out yet, but it looks unlikely. I'd not seen much of Trump in this tournament before this morning, but he looked clinical and playing very good match-play snooker.

 

[two sheds]

Fucking hell O'Sullivan Higgins frame 16

 

[ska invita]

Fucking hell O'Sullivan Higgins frame 16

 

[two sheds]

Frame 18 O'Sullivan Higgins from 8 reds on the table "that's one of the best breaks I've ever seen": Hendry.

 

[Steel Icarus]

It was incredible tbf

 

[blairsh]

This really is quite a fucking match.

 

[Doctor Carrot]

What is with Ronnie always sitting down whenever the ball is cleaned? Psychology thing? For himself I mean. Must be why he still uses the old chalk. I was actually thinking earlier how you hardly see any kicks anymore. I guess that new chalk really does work.

 

[blairsh]

Evening Session looking pretty ominous for Higgins

Just need Mark Williams to continue storming back at Judd and my day will be complete
