I'd be thinking about the same.I'll predict a 10-8 win for Tevez.
It was cool he had a deep run. But he looked weak after the 3 fouls. He got tense. Still very well done.Wow - what a great performance from Tevez. He outbroke Shaw the entire time. I'm rooting for him in the finals.
I'm just generally excited to see someone I've never heard of before the last 32 go this deep and play really well. I also like his fundamentals. Smooth guy.
Guy scratched off a kick and missed a combo.Well, Tevez came back down to Earth in that match, looking more like his 760 Fargorate.
Congratulations to Wojciech Szewczyck, the 2022 World 10-Ball Champion!
Tevez lost his mojo after he hung the 10 ball mid final. Could have gone up two games.It was cool he had a deep run. But he looked weak after the 3 fouls. He got tense. Still very well done.
That was in Game 5 with the score 3-1 in his favor. So he could have gone up by 3.Tevez lost his mojo after he hung the 10 ball mid final. Could have gone up two games.
Thanks for the correction.That was in Game 5 with the score 3-1 in his favor. So he could have gone up by 3.
And just about any other for that matterOf course, we fully understand and respect his decision, but I sure would have enjoyed seeing him compete. All he did was win the Bigfoot 10-ball at the International Open in October and win the Bigfoot 10-ball at the Derby City Classic in January.
He'd have been the favorite to win this event in my opinion.
This is reminiscent of the future hall of famer Ga Young Kim, who, despite a solid foundation in carom disciplines, took a few years to become an elite kicker. The kicking skills don't always translate immediately to pool, but the learning curve is always shorter for those having a background in carom games.so was this the first taste of a good carom player advancing far in a pool tourney?
I believe Tevez is ranked in the UMB top 200, how much pool has he played?
ironically some of his kick shots were poorly executed
It was yet another disheartening performance by the American contingent of players. At the Las Vegas Open, not even one of the top 16 were American. At the World 10-ball, Chris Reinhold was the lone American to finish in the Top 16. Well played Chris, but it looks like the European advantage in 10-ball is even greater than their massive edge in 9-ball, which was quite evident at the Derby City 9-ball.
I'm keeping the faith. Perhaps America can redeem itself at the World Pool Championships next week. After all, Skyler managed a tied for fifth place finish at last year's event.
