Matchroom 2023 UK Open (nineball), 30May-4June, Winner $30K
- Thread starter spartan
- Start date
I tend to give many of these amateurs the benefit of the doubt. They are playing on tv for the first time against a top player and on likely tighter tables and faster cloth than they are used to. That can make anyone under a 700 level look like a banger.
Thanks, when I clicked that on my phone it was bringing me to a different match. On my laptop it brings me to the right point. Weird.

Not sure if it is his opponent's hair but that hair raising 8ball miss by Chris to trail 2-4 is candidate for Miss of the day

If I had this guys hair. I'd dye it orange and put the number #5 on the front and back.
He plays tournaments in the UK. Always does well in GB9.even won the challenge event which is really tough to win. Been around along time. He is way higher than 522. More like 750 fargo. That upset, doesn't surprise me.

The GB9 guy is the same guy who lives in Lubbock?
My friend is playing in it and he said its 4 inch pockets
I don't think so, this guy is British, from St Albans which is in Hertfordshire England.
Yikes, I don’t think I’d be able to pot more balls on a carom table under those conditions.My friend is playing in it and he said its 4 inch pockets
The middles, look real tight too. Just watched the lisowski match. Not the best advertisement for pool I've ever seen. How serious he is. We will see in the next match,when he plays Mieszko Fortunski aka the butcher.My friend is playing in it and he said its 4 inch pockets
His second match on the outside tables, I just watched day one, Fortunski wins 9-2.

Eklent Cocky.Such a douche move and super insulting to his opponent. If it was in a pub like last week's Scottish Open, the drinking/drunk audience will have words with him
45:12
As far as tomorrow goes, he may be unseeded, but don't sleep on the pride of Germany, Rainer Biermann!
Just kidding. I don't know the guy or anything about his game. He's probably not the pride of Germany. Go ahead and sleep on him.
I agree, although I'm also not sure about the exact numbers. I think an elite player from any billiards discipline would be in a similar situation. They can all shoot straight and have a deep understanding of the concept of cueball placement , which are the only "fundamentals" you need be a competitive player. Whether or not it becomes easier or harder for these players to run well in 9 ball remains to be seen - if the tour goes from strength to strength, all of the elite snooker players will watch the pro game a little or a lot and they will all have friends on the tour, but at the same time the depth at the top should increase as the better players are able to dedicate more time to the game.
don't know the total number but it includes the entire population of vietnam
