Day 1 Round 1 (starts 6pm BST/ 1pm EST)

The “where to watch” says 6PM GMT. That’s an hour off from 6PM BST. I understand BST is correct and it’s 1PM EDT (not 2PM EDT). Thought that was worth pointing out.

 

[Bob Jewett]

Starting right now on DAZN.

Filler's still sporting that "Simple Jack" haircut.

Audio for the event is off to a bad start.

Damn I hate the 9 counting on the break at this level.

Watching it now on YouTube. Vietnamese feed

Holy moly. Niels with an EPIC comeback against Filler.

Down 5-1 and wins 9-5. I don't recall many people ever pulling off something like that against Filler.

 

[MattPoland]

That's a bracket buster.

Score one for the old guys. Love the Terminator.

 

[boblzer0]

this 9 on the break cheese is getting old. guy barely missed doing it for the 4th time this match. also why no magic rack?

 

[spartan]

What the hell was that?
Max Lechner 3 golden breaks in 6 racks and now leads 5-1
Must be record number of golden breaks ever

 

[MattPoland]

It's a golden shower of golden breaks.

 

[RandyinHawaii]

Maybe it's going to be an every 5 year win for "The Terminator". Believe he won it in 2013 and again in 2018. I am definitely pulling for him!

I concur. it kind of reminds me of tennis back in the 90's, when Ivanisevic and a few others would win a match showing no skills other than serving 30 aces.

Is Emily learning yet that there is *no* fix for racking? No matter what is proposed, pros will beat it quickly. Should have just left it alone with 1970’s break rules. Imo.

Funny you'd say that. As a young kid on Summer break captively watching Wimbledon out of boredom, that reason alone made Goran my favorite player at the time. But of course that wasn't coming from a perspective of appreciating much about tennis in and of itself.

yea sometimes i go full earl when watching 9-ball. it's such a lucky game, and they jump with their lucky little sticks.
