If it was not for his background at the Mosconi Cup and the attitude towards this event, I would have assumed he is currently inspired by being back on the team. But this surely can not be the reason, can it?

I don't see much difference in Shane. He was a bit nonchalant for a month or two earlier in the year, but it didn't last long.

One of the comms referred to Yannick Pongers as 'my brother', meaning he is Quinten Pongers. His commentary is supposed to be insightful then

I'm a bit surprised Quinten does not get into the flow of the game, like shots, etc. And he is a skilled player.
 
Rack 11, nice 3-rail kick shot by Moritz, SVB is forced to play safe in return.
A spectacular shot by Neuhausen! A safety on the 1, and the cue ball hit the 2 exactly at the point he calculated and pointed at.
Moritz flukes a ball following a jump shot attempt, SVB gets back to the table and, in full control this time, wins a rack to trail 4-7.

Ah, the magic is gone by rack 6.

either way it's much better than the ladies and gentlemen guy

Neuhausen is such a pleasure to watch. Never seems rushed. Excellent pattern play. Constantly improving tactics and safety game. Great stroke. Nice touch. Never seems to have to force the ball.

Trying to figure out how he doesn't become one of the top five players in the world. Not coming up with a good argument.

90% of these guys get on a hot streak for 2 or 3 years and then fizzle out. Will he be a flash in the pan, or not?
 
Meanwhile, Moritz breaks dry. Great chance for Shane but he scratches straight in the corner after pocketing the 2. That's painful to watch.
Moritz is fortunate not to scratch in the side playing shape on the 9, but it turns okay.

Looks like Neuhausen felt a need to take a timeout, so here we are with a chance to watch the clip about a dozen of times

The latest stream had Yannick Pongers as the English commentator. He does a good job.

Do they have different English commentators at the event? The one English guy I keep hearing says things like, “this shot is very important.” He also kept commenting on another match without saying who the players were. He’d say, “in table 2, it’s now all tied up. The Filipino was up 2-nil.” Lots of commentator mistakes.
 
Rack 13, Moritz is 8-4 ahead. Nothing finds gravity on Shane's break.
The stream operatots cut the table sound off for their clip, and forgot to put the switch on after play resumed. Quinten Pongers has to whisper even lower and creepier than before.

Yeah that promotional clip of Qatar makes about as much sense as the Saudi Jazz guy. Who do they think they are fooling? lol

Surprisingly, SVB can't seem to get his break together.
 
Rack 14, Moritz breaking at 9-4. Looks like his break short deserted him for a while.
Gosh, SVB with an unforced positional error on the 6.

Shane with a beautiful long jump shot on the 6 after a safety.
