Does anyone have a finishing position list? I don't see anything on the MR site. The bracket even seems completely gone from their site now. It was fine yesterday. Thanks.
If it was the late 1-ball and he decided to push, I was sitting next to the table, and I said (to anyone that might be listening), that there was no way he was shooting at the 1-ball. I think he just didn’t catch the best rolls when Little Ko was leaving him a table.
Do you think he didn’t feel confident in the moment? Or did the shot seem very difficult from your angle?
It for sure was difficult. I don’t think he shoots the shot at 0-0. Given the circumstances, I think he showed good discipline by not taking on that 1-ball.
There were three or four shots down the stretch that viewers may have thought that Fedor was unraveling. From my vantage point, Ko really got a few good-enough rolls 5 or so times where Fedor could have used a better break. That doesn’t take away how magnificent Ko played. Fedor just needed some cherry rolls a few times to make it closer than it was. He didn’t get them. Like when Ko missed the kick shot and went around the table to get the hit. Instead of BIH, Fedor was left with funny position on an iffy out.
I noticed the same. Sometimes the camera view didn't show the situation. (And none of the changed views did either). It also felt they used too many graphics when cutting between cameras, and that took a lot of time away from the live situation. I always felt live sports broadcasts should have simple and clean/fast camera cuts.
I did feel even with those issues, Joe Public would never have known.

These brackets will be replaced soon with next event brackets soon. PRP doesn't bother to keep archive of old events results unlike the professional score keeping sites like cuescore , digitalpool
Thanks. I was getting to those brackets all week directly from the Matchroom main site, then clicking on Tournaments/US open, and they were there. Now they are gone from there.Hanoi Open - Nineball

IMO even more impressive was how he finished his last 4 matches and who he did it against. 5 straight vs. Filler at 5-5, 4 straight vs. Lechner at 6-6, 10 straight vs. Yapp from the git-go, and then 10 straight vs. Gorst at 3-6. Simply unbelievable. It reminded me of that spectacular comeback he made against SVB in the 2018 U. S. Open, which is the first time I really remember him.
I think you are remembering the 2018 International (no US Open 9-Ball in 2018). Shane was ahead 10-6, scratched on his break in Game 17, and Ko ran out the match 11-10 (his only lead in the match).
[the Ko/Yapp match was 11 games straight]
I wonder if the players having to wait 2 weeks to get paid has anything to do with it

Yeah I think the first thing Ping Chung will do when he gets home is to find a good tailor! That coat on him looks like it was made for Yao Ming!
He sure played great though, what a sight to behold!
