Single set to 10 is much better. Bergman has a very tough opening match.

Agree with Gorst's comments. Predator's events are losing thousands and the lop-sided prize money is not fair.

If a hotel are helping fund the tournament, then it's only fair players stay in the hotel. That's part of the deal.

Not super excited about this. I find 8 ball at the pro-level very boring to watch. Will be interesting to see how Bergman gets on.

Prize money structure is rubbish.

To generate this level of prize money, they would need to be selling thousands of tables every week. It's pretty clear the money is coming from elsewhere.

Hardly know any of the names left in the last 32. SVB, Biado, Gorst, Filler and Kaci would clean up in this tournament. Chinese players are lucky the big 9 ball players don't enter.

I really hope Matchroom don't invite the KO brothers to the WNT World Championship and/or US Open. Would be very unfair on other players who have been travelling and grinding in smaller events.

Wonder why Filler doesn't play Chinese 8 Ball

I have tickets to the UK Open, so would be gutted not to see SVB there. If Matchroom can't make pool work, then pool's chances of reaching the levels of snooker and darts will die. No offence to Predator, but their events are free on YouTube and have a few hundred people in attendance. That is...

Would love to know where the money is coming from. Empty stands and a very amatuer set-up. They cut the Appleton stream at 12-12...

Professional pool players. The biggest event taken off the calendar would be very sad.

If the event was next week, players would still be flying out. The prize money is too good to turn down, and Saudi Arabia is pretty safe.

I can't take the Predator/WPA events seriously. Generous pockets Sets instead of racks Shoot-out if tied I judge a player based on their record in WNT majors, with heavy weighting on the US Open and World Championship. So for me, the top 3 are still Yapp, Biado and Gorst. Filler's recent...

Matchroom will be very happy that a loyal WNT player is winning their first major.

So the final four are all Europeans. Meanwhile over in the USA, our potential Mosconi Cup players are playing on this table. A bar box with buckets.

Heartbreaking. Mika looks really good. Team USA are never winning another Mosconi Cup.

Gorst is 5-0 down. On his current form, he is nowhere near Filler.

Single elimination from 128 is a good move. Makes it more exciting. But day 1 looks pretty boring as all of the top players have been given byes.

Wonder what odds you would get on Filler/Gorst vs the field.
