Biado is on Firessss!!! Gorst appears to lose confidences since 3x safety errors
Where would Fedor be without the jump cue?
He is so good with it that ot is definitely an edge over the competition.
If jump cues are banned tomorrow, I don’t think that he would stay at the top
It's crazy to think, despite the age difference between them and the difference of tenure in the game, that Biado seems more hungry to win this than Gorst does.
The issue is not whether players would prefer to play in a packed house. They would, and so would we fans.No, at the majors they play in front of packed houses in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Orlando, Norfolk, London and Hanoi, too.
They are used to small crowds at the lesser events, but the small crowd in Jeddah, a city of 3,000,000 is, quite simply, embarrassing and if you think the players don't care, you are badly mistaken.
No player of this generation feeds off a big crowd more than Jayson Shaw. The fact that a) his last two major titles came in front of huge crowds in Norfolk (2022 International), Hanoi (2023 Hanoi Open) and b) he always thrives at the Mosconi in front of a huge crowd tells you all you need to know.
I hate to see these great players toiling in obscurity. I have to keep reminding myself that this really is a major championship.
True, at this very event they finally started paying attention. At least to YouTube feeds (mostly rom Vietnam, lol)Matchroom have got pretty good at shutting down illegal streams.
If people want to watch this game, they should be paying for it and supporting the game.
