Here is a video of what it sounded like when the first of the breaks happened at the European Open.
I haven't heard any explanation. I didn't see a list of no-shows. I think the ACBS ban is not going to have much traction with the tour players.
TTV match picks have improved a bit from earlier tour stops. labutis v lechner was a good one. darren v shaw looks more competitive than i thought, early days tho.
svb vs gary wilson doesn't look competitive tbh, but i guess both have fan appeal. hoang vs wojciech or krause vs wu kun lin would've been better choices imo.

Labutis v Lechner possibly the worst 800+ v 800+ match I've seen in a while.
Is the SVB, Wilson match any better? They are not hitting them very well.
wilson got like three free 9's because shane scratched on the break and left easy combos or hung the 9.

They said the pockets are just under 4". They said they are set up the same as the UK Open and I think the pocket size was 3.8"

Ko Ping Han beating Raga seems like a pretty big upset.
they say the cloth is faster than normal, but i think the rails seem bouncier. especially compared to the world championship
klenti kaci lost too, to a relatively unknown player

Final 64 looks like the usual serving of world beaters.
Seems safe to say that one of the proven superstars will win, although how many of us picked Robbie Capito at the UK Open?
I wonder which player outside the Top 75 based on Fargo might surprise us with a deep run.. Some players that might be live longshots could be Jani Uski, Gary Wilson and Mickey Krause, but the conventional wisdom says that each would have to negotiate a mine field just to reach the quarterfinals.
The stage is set for some high drama. Let the games begin.
