Not referring to specific errors/misses- I meant his ability to hold nerve and force hill hill and keep coming back . His errors/ misses are not necessary due to nerves
yes that W9B final was different storyline. In that W9B final, Ko won on Shane's break and he won by 2 racks not hill hill. Here v Alex he had to keep coming back and then break hill hill. I would have preferred semifinals and finals to be won by 2 racks not just 1 rack
That's a star studded line-up he took down.
A lot of forum members hate his style of play(air stroking and constant getting up and down), but all the guy does is win. This tournament has a shot clock too.
yes Wu would have to be the favorite right now
His opponents all got 5 or less racks except for Niels which was hill hill match
Don't need blood relations for Big and Little. Usage as in Senior and Junior :smile:
Not a fan of his but must say he is slow and steady and is focused on winning. did well in recent W9B also. Has been playing higher level since one yeat ago when he first won the CBSA event beating Wu for first time just before winning US Open. He was top 10 in Taiwan before and now may be closer to top 5
The one who impresses is this Wu Kunlin who has improved a lot. First time in semis of major event
:smile:
Yes, three matches into elimination stage with opponents getting 3, 4, and 5.
It seems like a year or two ago I had frequently to defend his number one position on FargoRate
--what has he won recently?
--you must be stressing old results
--can he possibly compete wit big Ko?
etc...
It seems now people are more aware and appreciative of his level of performance.

Wu makes a nice break with the 3-9 lining up nicely. He sinks it in the corner. Nice break by Kevin, but my stream, it's froze!
Back in time to see Kevin miss a tough-ish 4 ball cross corner, but it rolls safe and Kevin waves his hand.
Wow, was I wrong. Not safe at all when the ball it's hooked by is the 9. Wu kicks at the wired combo and takes game 2. 2-0 now.
I really hope the stream works perfectly for Wu-Ko later on. That's the match I'm really looking forward to.

Are these links working? I only get a black screen
Safety battle ongoing in rack 3. Wu was lucky not to scratch on the first safe.
Kevin tries a jump-safe, but leaves Wu open on the 4 with a makeable shot and a layout that makes the rest of the rack a formality. 3-0.
I missed most of the rack, but Wu goes up 4-0.
I just realized the whole final 4 is Taiwanese. Wu Jiaqing has moved to the mainland, but hails from Taiwan. And the other three are Taiwanese too, if I'm not mistaken? I don't know this Wu so well...
Kevin misses rail first on the 2 in rack 5, sells out. Not an easy shot from the 2 to the 3, but the way Wu is playing I like him to get out from here.
Edit: commentator's jinx--he's hooked himself!
And Kevin makes a nice runout to get on the board. 4-1, Wu leading.

Kevin with the casual B&R to bring it to 4-2.
In the next rack, Kevin gets to the table (I missed how) and pulls off a successful jump safe. Nice shot.
Wu kicks, but leaves the full ball. It's a tough shot into the opposite corner. Kevin hits it as clean as humanly possible. He's applying the pressure now, that's for sure.
4-3, Kevin breaking.
