Do you think the standards of Billiards play from the players has increased without the audience in the arena ?

Yes or No .

If Yes why ?

If No why ?

Put me down for a very firm "maybe". In the present situation it's impossible to separate the factor of no audience from living in a bubble and all that goes along with that. When asked about this, the players have given mixed responses. I have noticed both sparkling and sad matches.

Hi Bob !

It's like a kid looking into a kaleidoscope comparing past to present but I think under these restrictions every player is putting up a great show with or without the fans......

Hi Bob !

The question is would Ronnie O'Sullivan have all lost five finals this season so far if the audience was there ?

I think Ronnie is often the crowd favorite so it helps inflate his ego while deflating his opponents.
