I hate alternating break because when a player is down it makes it much harder to string racks together.
In a long race alternating break is really pointless. Each player would have several chances in a race to 11. This isn't race to 5.
Filler had his hands full with Xhie.
7 to 7 and he lucks him safe, the opponent fouls on a jump shot.
Then he shits in the 6 going 3 rails.
The cushions on these tables are primitive....players slamming the rails and the ball acts dead.
Many "decongestants" have stimulant properties.
When I saw him snorting that, I immediately wondered what WPA antidoping policy might have to say about whatever that was. The list of things you can't use is primarily normally prescribed medicines.
I have hated the 9 on the spot with the cut break. I know a change was needed because the best players were breaking a running so well. To me the cue ball slashing back and forth through the rack looks uncontrolled and amateurish.
Watching a lot of the tournament, I realized the new break takes...
Had a weekend and didn't watch the finals until just now.
That could not have been a more dramatic finish. FSR showing he is still one of the very best.
Capito is a fighter. He had chances to win.
