His break is what killed him. All those non-compliant breaks were just give-aways to a guy Kaci's speed. Alex can still shoot/move but his break needs major work.
In the 1st set Alex broke absolutely horrible he had more non-compliant breaks than good breaks i think
Like JJ was saying in the booth that set the most Alex can win is one game in a row breaking like that and that wont get it vs a world class player like Kaci.
After hours at the practice table Alex started breaking much better especially in the 3rd set. that was some great pool from both players very competitive close set down to the very last ball.
Hats off to Alex for stepping up to the plate, he got up there and played prolly the two best European players for the cash this week in Filler and Kaci.
And a considerable amount of the cash that was wagered here was Alex's own money guys.
