Shaw and Chang practising. We are about to rack and roll

My wild prediction is we will see these 2 back in final final at 7pm
One will get bounced down to losers side and then bounce back up to grand final
Last year was same 2 undefeated on winners side (Cheng and Boyes) who contested the grand final so I see same storyline this year. They play much fewer matches and much fresher than those on losers side
Who wins depends on their form today , how the table breaks and who figures out the break today. Jayson has been breaking best on stream table last few days so if he continues breaking like that he should win whole thing. But if he doesn't , Chang will snap it.
:smile:
 
Shaw breaks does not get 1 in side. No open table, pots 1 in corner
Plays a safety which Chang jumps and runs out
Chang 1-0
 
Huge mistake by Shaw. He had that game won but IMO shot the 8 too fast and lost his cueball just enough to make the cut on the 9 missable.
 
Tremendous play from Chang so far, shooting .944. His only mistake was a scratch on the break.
 
Chang plays safety, Shaw sells out and Chang runs out for 6-1
Chang playing flawless, excellent CB, safety and decision making

TPA
Chang 956
Shaw 826
 
Mark still doesn't understand the difference between China and Taiwan/Republic of China/Chinese Taipei...he listed some of the 'great players from over there, Ko Pin Yi, Ko Ping Chung, Li (sic) Haitao"...Well the Ko's and Chang's are from Taiwan, while Liu Haitao is one of the better players from China.

Taiwan/ROC/Chinese Taipei
-Ko Pin Yi
-Ko Ping Chung
-Chang Jun Lin
-Chang Yu Lung
-Cheng Yu Hsuan (aka Kevin Cheng)

China
-Liu Haitao
-Wang Can
-Fu Jianbo
-Li He Wen
-etc

-When Wu was known as Wu Chia Ching, he played for Taiwan. Now, as Wu Jiaqing, he plays for China.
