    QATAR WORLD CUP 10 BALL, OCT. 28 to NOV. 2, 2025

    Must be either other rack or other ball, as in rack five the orange ball disappeared on the first shot which was a carom off the 1 (Magpantay finished frozen to the ball and missed the 1 as a result, having to play jacked-up) Indeed, his kicking skills are strong, and I expect Jonas to win most...

    Got to learn from a Filipina, that for Magpantay it is just like Jonas Brothers :) J like for Jeremy or Jayson

    This particular ability is what strikes me the most about them Pinoys. I've witnessed one transition from an icy skating-rink-like nylon cloth to a table in the street with a blanket-like cloth, and produced the same strong game!

    When are MISCUE and SCOOP Shots Fouls?

    I don't think there is a need to change the rule so that ALL miscues are automatic fouls. Because even there you leave a benefit of a doubt towards the shooter, and it will be close to impossible to make a call at the table. Also here your wording alleges that the different direction is...

    I'm all-in for Jonas Magpantay in upcoming final! He played 16 matches in qualifiers alone, eager to earn one of the spots. Suffered defeats from his compatriots and Taiwanese Lu (twice!), and apparently was allowed in as a so-called lucky loser (tennis term). Then he proceeded to win 7 matches...

    QATAR WORLD CUP 10 BALL, OCT. 28 to NOV. 2, 2025

    A good example of how AI needs instant proofreading. Gemini positively surprised me being very up-to-date with results from Qatar, being able to track the results down to semi-finals. Yet it somehow failed miserably about Magpantay's performance: Never forget to check twice anything AI comes...

    That's the kind of attitude by all English-speaking pundits. Like "I could not care less" :p Hence we were having "GorSHT" from Yates for three years, until he finally got beat to correct version, and etc.

    Thanks a bunch Mike, very appreciated! This info will help me add some spice to my modest report...

    Thanks a bunch Mike, very appreciated! This info will help me add some spice to my modest report for a local website. As info from FR usually does. Keep up all the good work there!

    We share same love to precision in regard to text and speech, hence I was thinking you would like to know how it actually reads :) My request to @gopi-1 still stands. I'm aware of big Spanish influence on local culture, so Jonas in Spanish is my primary guess for Magpantay, but it could always...

    The «J» is pronounced like the «h» in English “hello” (a soft, breathy sound, not the hard English “J”). «o» sounds like the «o» in “go”. «na» is pronounced like “nah”. «s» is a standard “s” sound (like in “sun”). Stress is on A. It is even written Jonás in Spanish.

    QATAR WORLD CUP 10 BALL, OCT. 28 to NOV. 2, 2025

    According to Gemini AI, one of qualifiers to win the whole thing in modern pool history is Francisco Sanchez Ruiz with his take on US Open in 2022. Says he made it through some last chance qualifying tournament (frankly I don't recall there is such for US Open, especially under MR, but further...

    Well, Jen, if you read the way it sounds in Spanish correctly, as I mention, it very much differs from the way you suppose. And the majority of English speakers would fall into the same little mistake about how Jonas sounds in Spanish :)

    You mean a qualifier (for a wildcard is an invite). add-on: by the way, as a Pinoy, how would you read Jonas name? Is it the same as with the Spaniard Souto - Kho-NAS? Or else?

    Bad choke on the 3 by Oi As mentioned, Oi can crumble. Makes me wonder if he is ever going to take any significant title. Seems like pressure is going to take on him inevitably, sooner or later.

    Nice composure from Oi, I was worried a bit for his attempt on distant 6 there

    Meanwhile, Naoyuki is dry on the break yet again. And loses the safety (fouls on the 1-ball). Another loss of rack for him, and Kural is in the lead for the very first time in this semifinal
