There really should be a morning and afternoon session for a match of this length.

It seems like nothing is going Zheng’s way, and Wu is taking advantage of all his chances.

Timeout again. 117-62 after 30 frames.

we forget how tough these tables are when these guys play perfect. Thats the part that amazes me. How often they make tough shots and rarely get out of line.

They don't have shot clock, they use a sundial. I just looked in and its still a long way from done. 300minute/50rack max, that's FIVE fkn hrs. Whatever.

is he playing like someone who's chopped 1.72M and is already planning the party?

j/k, they probably have a differentiating split + sponsor incentives

He is just getting outplayed and some bad rolls on top of it. Biggest difference is Zheng has fouled eleven times vs Wu zero times.

I do believe both Wu and Zheng held the top FargoRate spot. Zheng only a month or 3. Wu at least a year or more.

Wu is tough to watch. He’s almost Souquet slow.

 

[skip100]

how long is the shot clock? It can’t be very short.

 

[AtLarge]

37 minutes left on the match clock. 136-73. Too little time left for Zheng.

 

[iusedtoberich]

I wonder if Wu was this slow at age 16?

 

[iusedtoberich]

Hardly any views on YouTube. Unless things changed recently, YouTube is banned in China. So the only people watching are in other countries.

6500 are watching on the Ko brothers channel.

I can’t remember if it was snooker or pool that had a rule where the ref will deny a player’s request to clean the ball unless it was obviously dirty. The Chinese should adopt that rule here.

The constant ball cleaning is obnoxious for the viewer.

he was fairly fast. most of all he was ultra aggressive. by the time he played 2019 US open final he was more deliberate but still as aggressive

500 on the kazoom channel im on now. And yesterday’s Wu match on the channel atlarge linked was about 50 live.

Wu made his first foul in almost 40 games.
