Dennis 90-86

Player time out

 

[the Professor]

Dennis makes a great shot on the 8 and gets out.. He picked the pace up a little this game… Ko has gifted the last two games to dennis the score is 90 to 86, it should be 88 - 88 if ko hadn't made mistakes.

 

[the Professor]

If ko loses this match I think he will look back to that 2 ball as the biggest mistake of the match

Hope he gifts 10 more to him.

Dennis is practicing the break during the player time out

Dennis wants to win this very badly
He is practicing break during the players break :smile:

 

[the Professor]

dennis is breaking a lot better during these practice breaks than he has been recently. Controlling the cue ball much better

About what Ko can spot in gear it's going to the wire best match in recent memory

Just when Ko was catching a gear there and it looked like he might tie the match up he hangs a ball. He looked seriously deflated too. Huge swing. Getting this close to the finish line if Dennis can get his break down I think he's got it on lock.

Practicing this break for 15 minutes on the match table may help.

2 different approaches

Dennis practicing breaks and potting
Ko walking around taking photos

Like sitting for exam/test
Some do last minute swot study right up start of exam
Some do not do any last minute study and let the brain and body rest

back on.. dennis breaks great… but the one is mostly behind the 7, he can hit about a quarter of the ball but can't make it.

 

[the Professor]

dennis pushes out…ko takes it and misses are hard shot.. leaves dennis straight in

 

[Poolnutz]

Come on Dennis its time to shine and end this with a victory.

I think Ko was very ill-advised to take that shot.

Dennis has his swag back.

dennis gets out….

I agree.. that was a tough shot on this table any way.. but Ko didn't take any practice shots coming out of the break.. and dennis practiced the entire time.
