World Pool Championships 2025, July 21-26, Jeddah

Very surprised Filler vs Lechner is not on a table being broadcasted.

I don't think Biado vs Melling and AJ Manas vs Fortunski are better matches.

Filler is box-office, Matchroom seem to be treating him like a nobody.
 
also siming chen, rubilen amit and han yu.. so she's top 7 at best. but young and improving. her playing at this event is btw because rubilen (current women's 9b champ) got health problems, she is a replacement
You're right. I forgot about Amit and the other two I see so rarely. So many formidable women players.
 
Happy to report very few glitches with WNT.TV today. All tables were on and few interruptions. I started watching several matches after they were over by rewinding. The three hour buffer actually worked.

Now I look and see the full streams of tables 1,2 and 3 now available on demand for days 2 and 3. Just the evening session for day one.

I’ve been asking for this for awhile. Cut up individual matches for on-demand viewing next week. For now give us full streams and let us watch what we want. Much simpler.

If WNT.TV can do this now, they could have done this days ago. They have got to test video production before every event. And make prior matches available ASAP. Fingers crossed they will figure it out.
 
I would also like them to start naming what each player is playing with. Don't need to get into specifics but ABC butt with XYZ shaft.

The mics are setup very well in this tournament and I can hear every shot perfectly. I can tell by sound if its a draw. These new shafts make a distinct sound when you draw the ball.

He will be on tv table if he gets through to the next round. Josh v fedor!!
 
Good to see Hohmann go on to the single elimination portion of this tournament. I'm still waiting for someone to give me an answer as to why his game sort of disappeared abruptly? It's like it wasn't the same guy playing that we saw coming out on top as many times he did.

Also, I heard he's playing under the USA flag next to his name.

kind of agree. filler obviously isn't playing good, we saw that yesterday. but lechner is playing great. however to not have filler on the main tv table anytime during the tournament is just weird. it's still frosty between filler and MR and the players (minus a few germans/austrians) according to mike panozzo. but pool is not a popularity contest

next tv table match i like, for the entertainment factor. lil ko vs soufi.

cue action and form.. thorsten has always battled the jumping up tendency in cue follow through. FSR is the same, denis grabe the same (elbow twitch and head tilt for denis). hate to say it but they should all find a heyball table to torture themselves on when they're "off"
 
Melling is always a pleasure to watch as a pool player. One of the most intelligent and creative over there. And Kaci is a former major winner, lat year's runnner-up. So the streamer's choice is pretty much natural and approved ;)
Agreed, it was a great match and both players showing their top notch skills in percentage play and especially kick shots.

Sanjin has also developed a lot of movement on final backswing and cue delivery. Also it seemed yesterday when Joshua was missing a lot he was also jumping up a bit, which is not common for him.
