two lifers on the tv table, fabio petroni vs melling
UK Open 2026, London, May 26-31
- Thread starter Bob Jewett
- Start date
khaled played flawless until 7-2
Come on, Fabio! He will have his hands full with Melling, who's in dead-punch stroke, active on the tournament trail.
Haven’t seen Petroni in years
He still shoots great
Melling won, 9-5, but I also enjoyed seeing Fabulous Fabio in action.
Ko's might not be entirely done. The WNT ad for the US Open in Texas pictures Ko Pin Yi. Good chance he and his brothers show up for the US open - there's no conflict with the stuff they are doing in China.
Ko Pin Yi also played in a WNT event in Taipei in January, which he won.
SVB, Biado and Chua are pretty much the only big names missing from the UK Open. Throw in Albin Ouschan, too.
Otherwise a very strong field.
If anyone hasn't noticed, WNT is using new Dynasphere balls. Called Titan. Press release today announced the deal.
WNT claims the best yet for TV tables.
Four ball is still pink, 5 ball still purple, 9 ball has the black stripe.

joe prince beating marvin asis is an upset. prince plays GB9 and ultimate pool USA, i would estimate he's in the 710-730 range
stuart bingham beating soufi is a bit surprising, but i knew he can play good 9-ball

FargoRate has him at 738.
One thing I love about this tournament is that it's literally the first time I've ever seen a set of balls where it's easy to tell all the balls apart. The two ball and the six ball are the biggest improvements, and the seven is now easy to tell from the three.
Now if they could just stick to these colors and not keep switching them around like baseball teams keep switching jerseys.

It's a sports and leisure centre with an events hall. Looks like they've put some tables in the sports hall part rather than the events hall for some reason. Not been but heard people that have went in previous years mention it stank of chlorine from the swimming pool. Not the most illustrious venue for what's supposed to be one of Matchroom's majors!
Man, I felt bad for Niels. Suddenly he couldn't make a ball. We've all done it, but it was painful to watch. That last 8-ball he missed was like an APA 3 miss.
Got to watch Bingham's match vs a guy from SA. The number of rolls he got in last racks beats that of Filler's yearly supply!!! (I mean the outcome of stunning misses Stuart made)
Did anyone go to Brentwood today?
If so, I have some questions as I will probably be attending from Thursday onwards.
1. Are there any food vendors inside the arena?
2. Is there any merchandise being sold?
3. What is the seating like? I imagine it's going to be really quiet before Saturday & Sunday.

Alghamdi was an aspiring youngster when he participated in Junior Worlds. Done that at least twice, maybe more, if memory serves me.
Since then he progressed and is a threat to almost anyone (he can not hang with Fargo top 20 at distance, but an occasional set in winner's break format is far from a shocker, IMO).
