Tipton just commented on the mic that Johnny has already won one more game than he did last year. Talk about brutal.
Game 2
Souquet breaks and makes 2 balls. Leaves straight in shot on the 1.
Nice shot by Ralf to get from the 2 to the 4. This is pretty elementary from here.
Ralf is looking strong here. Runs the rack to tie the match.

Game 3
Archer breaks and makes 2 balls. Has routine shot on the 1 but a little tricky to get shape on the 2. Beautiful shot to get shape on the 2. 3 to the 5 is the only test now. Johnny got funny on that 5. Going to have to hit thin cut or bank. Great cut on 5 and perfect shape on 6. Looks like another break and run.
Johnny finishes off rack for lead.

No, the finals are single elim for TV.
Game 4
Souquet breaks and makes 2 balls. Leaves tricky little 1 ball. Doesn't look like he has full path to ball. Might have just enough to cut it in. Yes, he cuts the 1 down the rail. Looks like 2 to the 4 is the only test here. Makes good shot from 2 to 4 and makes the 5 as a bonus.
This looks like a third straight break and run. Ralf keeps applying the pressure on his break but he will have to win a game on Johnny's break to win the match.
Ralf finishes off rack.

Archer breaks and comes up dry. Very makeable shot on the 1 for Ralf. Ralf just got the chance he needed here.
Ralf navigates the rack well and Johnny is talking to himself in the chair. Ralf is still going to have to make a 6 down the rail to get out here. No problem at all. Ralf gets a little funny on the 8 but not a problem. Runs out for first lead.

Game 8
Ralf breaks and makes 1 ball. Has shot on the 1 and stop shape on the 2. Going to have a little work to do in order to get on the 3 ball. Ralf misses the 2 ball bad. Johnny is length of the table on the 2 and has to come around table through traffic to get on 3. All of this with cue ball on the rail. Someone in the crowd takes a pic with the flash on. Archer gets up to clear his head.
Amazing shot on the 2 and 2 rails for perfect shape on the 3. The crowd goes nuts. This is routine from here. Ewa is up in media row and she was blown away by that shot on the 2. Archer runs out to tie match at 4.

Stupid assholes taking a flash pic when someone is trying to shoot. Same thing happened at the final at Valley Forge this year.
The anouncer stopped the match and gave her hell. Told the audience, the next person that took a flash pic would b removed from the match.

Game 11
Archer asks for a rerack of the balls.
Archer breaks and makes a ball but one of the last balls rolling hooks Johnny on the 1. Johnny opts to push. Johnny takes extension on the push. Johnny leaves Ralf full path to ball length of table with cue ball almost on short rail. Ralf passes shot back to Archer.
Wow. Archer tries to thin 1 into the corner and misses it. Leaves Ralf routine cut on 1 ball. Ralf has small landing place for cue ball after making 3. Gets there and should have a routine out now.
Ralf gets out and can now win the match on his break.
Going for that shot on the 1 is going to haunt Johnny for a long time.

Game 12
Ralf breaks and makes 1 ball. Leaves very tough 1 ball. Length of the table with both balls on the short rail. Ralf plays amazing bank shot on the 1 that completely shocked everyone.

4 balls left and none of them are tough at all.
Ralf played the 7 a little short and will have to work a little on the 8. Ralf makes the 8 and raises his fist in triumph. Routine 9 and it is over.
