A single inning set is always special

Dutch Cup: I watched a beautiful match between the teams of Snellen (Forthomme, P. Ceulemans, van Beers, vd Ven) and Dallinga (Caudron, Leppens, de Bruijn, Hofman) this evening. Forthomme got beaten 1 -2 in sets by Caudron: 7 - 15 in 6, 15 - 6 in 4, 0 - 15 in 1. That's 22 - 36 in 9/10 innings, not bad eh?

I think it must feel even worse to have an opponent who's on fire and nothing at all goes right for you. Last night I watched the quarter-final match from last year's Agipi tournament between Blomdahl and Kasidokostas, and at one point the score was about 30 to zero. At the end, K has an average of 0.368.
 
Bob,

I have seen that game , very strange to see a top player average 0.368 in 50 points game! that makes me feel better when I play bad game.


I wonder in pool ? do you see that difference in performance ? in other words, does the level drops that much ?( 1.7 average player to 0.368 )

Yes, that's fairly unusual at nine ball. I think you're referring to Deuel against Immonnen. At 14.1 I think the most lopsided US Open score was 150 to negative 13. (You lose points for a foul at 14.1.) That was by Joe Balsis against a relative unknown named Dick Baertsch (IIRC). Balsis was on the losing end. See page 7 of this tournament program where the two players are next to each other: http://www.charlesursitti.com/archive/programs/1968USOpen141and3C.pdf Their record-breaking match was the next year in 1969 in Las Vegas at the US Open. I happened to be there as a spectator.
