Siming vs Ronnie, C8B

[iusedtoberich]

Siming gets a spot of she only has to make 6 balls instead of 7 of her suit.

 

[Bob Jewett]

I think the spot is in the wrong direction.

 

[straightline]

The clip too. Kozooms don't rewind.

 

[skogstokig]

she's a straight shooter

 

[George the Greek]

Who won with Siming? I only watched a minute or two.

She won 15-5. Last ball off the table is a huge spot.

And Ronnie wins over Suung Kim 15-12 after Kim has a shirt foul.

new promoter, apparently big (first) prize money

The Rocket started off with a 3-0 lead then basically an uphill battle from there. Let them play for 30 days straight and for big money and the outcome would be different IMO

Some quotes from O'Sullivan from an interview a few days ago

"I think it's a bit unrealistic to think about winning the title but if I can win a few matches, I'd be happy with that” said O’Sullivan, who in the 1990s played for Team Europe in the Mosconi Cup - one of 9-ball pool’s flagship events.

“I'm just going to enjoy playing against the best players in China and watching and learning. Just to watch them play and pick up some tips.
“I know there's no expectation on me. I think everyone really knows that you can't just go from snooker to pool, or pool to snooker - you have to really practice one to get good at it.
“I don't think there's any pressure on me in that sense. I think everybody will expect me to be not that good.”

It’s hard to see how Kim could have shirt fouled from where he was. Maybe it was just a bad camera angle.

His sleeve was directly over a ball. Maybe it sagged. A proper pool shirt has skinny sleeves.

The foul was at 4:04:44 in the video.

I went back and they showed a second angle at the end of the match. It looks to me like the arm and sleeve are clear but the front of the shirt may well have touched.

Ronnie is playing Zheng Xiaohuai in the last 32 right now...
