That be him
Sure, but not so much the first match. Maybe after winning 2 and almost securing top 4 in the first group.
Neils Feijen lost in the group rounds last year while being defending champ.
Peach (former champ) vs Yapp tomorrow, I can't believe one of them has to go this early.
This is probably the only event in the world where a bunch of top caliber players can exit in the group rounds.
And yapp went deepnlast year. Figured he would do the same again this year
That soon? I'll try to provide some play-by-play on my Etch-a-Sketch.
Wonder what the line was on oscar being the only american to get the W fpr usa... On second thought, im mexican so im saying he got the W for mexico. Thats 2 for red white amd green with bautista lol
Yes Yapp is solid. I believe he's Singapore's top player now and eliminated Jeff Ignacio last year but succumbed to Wu in the last stages.
He's young (only 20 yrs old), world jr champ. You can tell he's really hungry to win a huge one, a few more years and experience on the pro circuit and he'd be deadly.
He wasnt on my radar until last year. Aside from the jr titles i mean. But yeah he played lights out last year. Im certainly a fan
And yu lung chang lost too...what a day!
Jayson Shaw vs Nikos should be a great match...
Wonder how much damage Jayson can do on the world stage
Wonder how much damage Jayson can do on the world stage
Jayson is gonna run over nikos....
Know he was there last year
Him playing with the euros in the gb9 tour is doing nothing but making him better. As opposed to the predator tour he dominates on a regular.
Americans doing poorly this week? Wow, what a shocker, given that they've just played their last two events on bar tables at the US Open 10 ball ad US Open 8 ball events in Vegas. Could you ask for better preparation than that?
I have posted on a few occasions that the move in the direction of bar table events will further reduce the pedigree of Americans when they play in the most prestigious international events. Comically, we'll be using a lot of bar table events to determine who should compete for the US at the Mosconi in December.
American pool is seriously broken right now with no end in sight. That said, I admire any American that made the trip to Doha and wish them well.
