US Open Finals - Mika VS Ralf
- Thread starter nathandumoulin
- Start date
Maybe it was 5.95. I can't remember.
I just know that it was worth the dough. I'm getting my nickel's worth.
Rack #21 (Part 2)
Mika makes contact with the 1ball during his kick, and rolls safe. Ralf is kicking now. The roll has been reversed.
Ralf kicks one rail and leaves the 1ball over the pocket, but Mika is bridged up over the 5 ball. He...well, got position on what seemed like an unlikely situation. He somehow runs out for the win.
11-10 Mika

When does he not think someone sold out. He is a good commentator but it gets old listening to him say " that shot was no good, he sold out, what was he thinking, I dont like that shot.......etc ". The funny thing is, a lot of the time it's a rewarding shot or the player gets out.
Did they mention anything about Ralf at all? Is he already a lock to get in?
By the way, thanks for the updates(I was gone all day and wasn't able to watch)
Ralf HAS to be a lock for the hall of fame. Hell, he's a lock for player of the decade in my eyes.
Anyway,
Rack #22:
Mika spreads them wide open. It's hard to say if he can make the object ball into the side (the 2ball).
Oh my, he misses it and gives up cue ball in hand. That was a DISASTER. Thankfully for Mika, he may have locked up the 5ball. It's hard to say.
Danny thinks Ralf is out, but I'm not so sure. He's eying up a long 3 ball combination, which implies to me that the table layout isnt as easy as Danny thinks it is.
Probably, he won the Open in 2002 and has finished high or won a lot of other things as well.
I think Ralf and Mika will both be in the HOF one day.

That would be great for both of them
Rack #22 (Part 2)
Now Ralf is looking at a 6 foot 2-9 combination. This is by FAR the riskiest shot I've ever seen Ralf attempt. Not Ralf-like at all!
Okay, Ralf came to his sense. He's potted the 2ball and has rolled too far to get the breakout on the ball. He may have to opt for that long 3 ball combo after all!
He makes it, but he's left with yet another combination, 5-7.
Pardon me, 4-7 combination.
Ralf makes that too. The balls are now all in the open, but each ball is at the opposite end of the table. Hes going to have to do a lot of traveling in these next few shots.
Ralf is looking good now, it's going to be a tied match..............oh my!
Just as I typed that he scratched in the side!!!
Mika moves to the hill!
12-10 Mika

Rack #23
Mika is one 9-ball from being back to back Us Open Champion. But he's not out of the water yet.
He's now breaking for the last time.

big trouble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mika asks for a re-rack. He breaks and makes the wing ball.
He has a billiard on the 9ball!
This could be it.
