Well I am awake editing video and have some time to kill as it imports and renders. I have watched it all obviously as I am at the controls and its one hell of a match as I am sure many of you have seen.
I have the luxury of reviewing the footage each night as I compile some highlights from it. The match is much closer then the score is showing.
Some interesting stuff is that Scott lost if I counted right 4 games where he had a 7-0 or so ball lead which doesn't happen often. He also lost 3 or 4 games where it came down to the last ball or 2. Today he was down 4 games and had a 7-0 lead which you figure he would get it to just a 3 game deficit but lost the game.
The score could easily be the other way but most who tune in only see the score and not what transpired in the set. Scott has not performed to his best and Dennis has played phenomenal along with getting the better of the rolls a couple of times. Dennis also shakes things off it seems fairly well and Scott needs more time to do so.
I have been so impressed by Dennis and his ball pocketing and banking ability. If he had an off day though it would spell trouble because if some of these shots don't go it would be costly which kind of reminds you of Efren and how they would say he is shooting the wrong shot. It is the right shot if you can execute it so although it might not be the right shot for most mere mortals we can throw that out the window in this match.
Scott beat Dennis to the shot more times then not but did not capitalize always. Scott didn't always punish Dennis when he sold out sometimes only getting a couple balls and stuck when he could have gotten out.
I know some mentioned Dennis playing Alex and it would be fun to see but this match isn't over yet. I know Scott is a big dog from here but don't count him out yet. It has been a hell of a match so far.
I thank those who have been respectful of both players, the backers, the sponsors, myself and of course this game we all love. See you guys in less than 12 hours for the final day of this match. Your support is appreciated. Thanks! :smile:
