2025 World Snooker Championship (No More DAZN)

[skogstokig]

new cue looks darker and grainier than the one he smashed.

no shoulder barges yet. and they did shake hands, reportedly

 

[skogstokig]

his long shots are wide off. he's lucky carter is playing quite poorly

 

[markjames]

ronnie is out of practice, but he doesn’t look good enough for world number eight

Stats at end of Session 1.

ronnie is out of practice, but he doesn’t look good enough for world number eight

my bookie apparently liked what they saw, and now have him second behind judd. oddschecker disagrees and have selby and xintong before ronnie. in my estimation he's behind higgins, murphy and maybe allen too.

 

[skogstokig]

little evidence yet but trump is looking best this far. better than xintong. faster than ronnie. averages 11 seconds.

It's a Ton Praram from what I've seen online. Phantom model, judging by the red badge. He also seems to have had a titanium ferrule fitted.

maybe it got a suntan in thailand.

tip sounded harder, but maybe it was the ferrule.

trump kind of faded in the latter session. i would think that when the first round is over, the highest performance stats will still belong to xintong. maybe murphy.

Here's a couple screenshots of Ronnie's new cue. The cameras panned in on it from north to south, but I was only able to get two screen shots of the tip and the butt.

The way this Zhang / Pang match is going, I'd be shocked if there's more than 2 total centuries in the entire match. Are these guys normally this off or is mostly nerves?

they should pull this match off. let them finish late tonight. or on a practice table.

lol. I almost bet Pang to win this morning when I saw Zhang was something like -375, and I thought neither one of these guys should be that big of a favorite in this match

Could it be torrified ash?…….never seen one before.

 

[pt109]

The Rocket looks five years younger today…..8-4 ahead.

 

[BeiberLvr]

Kind of a bad draw for Ali when you think about it. Being the only player inside the top 20 to play someone in the top 5.

 

[JAM]

Ronnie is back. He's made two centuries this session. He's on the hill at the interval. Here's the stats so far.

 

[JAM]

Ronnie wins 5 in a row in Session 2 and steamrolls over Ali Carter. He made a century again in the last frame, with 3 total in this match. They shook hands at the and exchanged a few words. Ali couldn't wait to get out of there, though, and didn't stay long to chat.

 

[skogstokig]

yea and next match will be a stroll in the park. i'm pretty sure of a ronnie v selby QF

Selby is no slouch

 

[markjames]

seems ronnie’s aura isn’t as strong against the young chinese players as it is against the usual europeans-

if he gets past junxu he can beat selby-

but everyone is getting Zhao’d in 2025
