World Pool Championships 2025, July 21-26, Jeddah

You could run this match in 10 parallel universes. I think Fedor wins more than half. But in all those universes, Carlo has the only 15-5 victory between the two.

Fedor squarely in his B game. And he can very often win from that position if he blows position and saves it with recovery shots, jumps, and tactical play. Carlo started on his B game but you can see sparks of that A game engine revving up. And if it gets to a full roar, Fedor is going to have the best view in the world of Carlo lifting the trophy. Fedor needs to find his A game very quick.

This will be very tough for Gorst, seems Biado is stealing the shows

I honestly think the final should be a race to 25 or 30, especially when the winner gets another $150k compared to the runner-up.

Are you serious? You cannot be this uninformed. this has to be the dumbest comment ever on AZ and you've got some stiff competition.

He has won the banks and 1 pckt 3 of the last 4 years at derby city along with a 9 ball win and master of the table 3 of the last 4 years.

sarcasm.

 

[sjm]

There has been unusually poor camerawork in the final.

 

[jasonlaus]

Pretty sure he won derby City banks before. Also good at 1P

3 of the last 4 years along with 1pckt 3 of the last 4 years

sarcasm.

I was worried you had been hacked lol.

 

[Bob Jewett]

8 racks in a row for Biado

 

[vincett]

Gorst is being dissappointed on himself and is dropping his games!!! Common Champ, you can win it

If I see another wide angle for the break, I'm going put another crack in my phone screen.

 

[skor]

They should start to enforce the 3 points rule on the break

good point. i had to read it two times to understand, but i agree

Watching the finals. Easily the worst camera work I've ever seen. Either that stupid simulated drone shot from five miles away, or a close-up where you can't see the entirety of the shot.

 

[skogstokig]

9-2. carlo is playing great

3 of the last 4 years along with 1pckt 3 of the last 4 years

Let's add that Fedor won the Derby City 9ball twice when jump cues were not allowed.

I suspect the director is getting some on-the-job training.

Gorst just whiffed the OB on a fairly elementary kick using side spin. JJ mentioned the table is slick. Waxgate! Check Biado's hair! j/k

Seems both Biado and Gorst are annoyed by a pesky fly hovering around the table.

 

[mjantti]

that's a poor audience turnout for a fellow arabian player in a quarter final. they're 30 million or something in saudi..

It has been the same pretty much every year. Some important local people but mostly players at the venue.

This will hurt Gorst's legacy big time.
