It looks like Filler has "broken" the 9-Ball break under these conditions. He's breaking from his left corner of the break box, making the wing ball nearly every time, sending the 1-ball up table near the head pocket to his left, and leaving the cue ball near the head rail for an easy shot on the 1-ball. ...
Was the wing ball getting kissed in consistently or was it going straight in with speed?

if you mean it running late again, sure but it was late for filler too. jayson did the same thing last year. apparently he set a precedent
Was hoping to see Fedor in all 3 finals, oh well.

Filler is much more fun to watch in 9 ball anyway. Have a hard time watching Alex, usually just turn it off if he's playing

But filler doesn’t have 2 other finals to compete in today. I spoke with Fedor briefly yesterday afternoon at his merch table and he looked absolutely exhausted as I’m sure everyone is. I suspect he’d rather lock in Master of the Table and be fresh for 1P and Banks than be exhausted for all 3. Would have been great to see him play and win all 3 but I understand needing to take care of yourself and know your limits - that’s also part of being a champion

There was some chitchat on the streams about where Joshua was breaking from, that it wasn't the WNT break box. But everyone seems to have been breaking from the same position, right?

Corner ball was consistently going straight in, 1 ball ending up in front of pocket at the head of the table, cue ball near that area. If this guy gets the lag there is almost no chance he will get beat. This is not the WNT break box.

It’s shocking that any pro event is “Wing Ball” 9-ball. Add winner breaks on top of it and it’s unwatchable for me.

tony is bringing the circus shots. not much safety play
I only caught the very end, but Fedor with an incredible circus shot twisting the 2 ball down the long rail and narrowly missing the 5. The ball did hit almost the 3rd diamond and still fell with perfect pocket speed. Pockets are playing very generous - that one had no business going in
