Better to get the loss out of the way in group...
Better to get the loss out of the way in group...
Neils Feijen lost in the group rounds last year while being defending champ.
Peach (former champ) vs Yapp tomorrow, I can't believe one of them has to go this early.
This is probably the only event in the world where a bunch of top caliber players can lose in the group rounds.
Oscar won, he's got Grabe next. I think his next match is in late September.
And yapp went deepnlast year. Figured he would do the same again this year
Yes Yapp is solid. I believe he's Singapore's top player now and eliminated Jeff Ignacio last year but succumbed to Wu in the last stages.
He's young (only 20 yrs old), world jr champ. You can tell he's really hungry to win a huge one, a few more years and experience on the pro circuit and he'd be deadly.
Jayson Shaw vs Nikos should be a great match...
Wonder how much damage Jayson can do on the world stage
In even sadder and shocking news for american pool fans....hunter lost..surprisingly lol all kidding aside but looks like oscar will be the only americam to get the W
Americans doing poorly this week? Wow, what a shocker, given that they've just played their last two events on bar tables at the US Open 10 ball ad US Open 8 ball events in Vegas. Could you ask for better preparation than that?
I have posted on a few occasions that the move in the direction of bar table events will further reduce the pedigree of Americans when they play in the most prestigious international events. Comically, we'll be using a lot of bar table events to determine who should compete for the US at the Mosconi in December.
American pool is seriously broken right now with no end in sight. That said, I admire any American that made the trip to Doha and wish them well.
I saw a statement from Darren Appleton that he thought it was not in his best interest to go from a BB to a 9 footer. Will be interesting to see how he goes compared to Shane, considering how well Shane played on the BB's.Americans doing poorly this week?
