The guy is a fantastic match player!
2026 World Snooker Championship: April 18 - May 04
- Thread starter BeiberLvr
- Start date
The archives provide a look at Judds last match. I only saw the second session so watching the first while waiting for Ronnie.
Wst.tv provides entertainment and knowledge. Win win, I personally enjoy watching their eye patterns. The high definition video and world champion analysis makes for A number 1 bargain.
I have not look at the draw but hope it has Judd and Ronnie in the finals as a possible.
yes, that's possible.
Just listened to Judd described as, "A Natural" in his battle with Gary Wilson.
Wonder what they will call Ronnie.
Off we go.

judd got some insane rolls in that match lol
Ronnie is forcing the referee to wear running shoes. The Rocket with 13 second shot average.
i booked him and still just zap over to his match and go yes do your devilish thing mark, zap over
Ronnie has a history with Olivier. Making him run might be a fun side benefit for Ronnie!

Gary Wilson talking about his struggle with the yips. Never saw the match, but the stats that popped up during it would make you think he played well despite being so frustrated with his performance. As an aside, we were talking about players accents earlier in the thread, I find Wilson's Geordie accent quite pleasant to listen to.
agree. i love both geordie and scouse. nicer than southern accents imo.
wilson is always brutally honest. he did fall apart. trump got a few crazy rolls, but it was two different garys in the first and second session
Five years ago, I was researching Gary Wilson for a Facebook post and came across this info, which I shared: The Wallsend 35-year-old endured 6 years off the tour and took jobs as a taxi driver, a barman, and a production line worker in a frozen foods factory before grasping his second chance. Wilson said: "I dropped off the tour and I wasn't good enough to get back on. I was having all these uncertain times when I didn't know if I was going to be a pro again. I was desperate to get back on the tour and just scrape a living. So to go from that point to where I am now, in the one-table set-up, is absolutely amazing and the sort of thing you dream of."
I've always had a soft sport in my heart for Gary Wilson after reading about his snooker journey. His dad, of course, supports him 100 percent. He got married to his lovely wife Robin in 2021.
It was really cool to see Gary compete on the WNT event in Lugo, Spain. He was there was his pops, and they dressed up like Romans. I think this guy on the left is a friend.

He was at the 9 ball Scottish Open a few years back, presume he was a late entry as he'd literally been knocked out of the snooker World Championship a day or 2 before the Scottish open started. Him and SVB were sitting chatting together, SVB wanted to know everything about what it was like to be a pro snooker player and Gary was just as interested in learning about being a pro pool player. They both seemed fascinated by each other. Was quite a cool conversation to overhear. Saw him get beaten very convincingly by Ralf Souqet that day, but notice he's had some more respectable results in pool since.

the Judd Trump escape kick into pocket jaws from Wilsons drop dead perfect safety was a beauty
that had to just suck all life out of Wilson

my friend sent me a clip of that as he was impressed with the escape and I think I was just as impressed with how Wilson laid the snooker as I was Trumps escape. As you said he played it drop dead perfect, he had a bout a balls width space to get behind the colour and judged both the weight and line of the shot to perfection.
i like my horses, murphy going like a train after that tight L32 match, selby through very comfortably.
but i have a feeling that mark allen may "surprise", that this is his time. the way he played the last frames in L32 looked like a man on the mission. and he's lost weight, which shows motivation and character.

From 5-0 Allen to 5-3, looks like it will be interesting tomorrow
