These semi’s are spooky.

Both were on 8-8, both were going frame for frame until one person went 5 in a row and the other finished with a century.

Still anyone’s title.

Yes c’mon Jak. One more.

Christ that last frame was tense.

It was :pensive:

He needed to win this session 6-2 but no chance now. Kyren is the strongest player by far.

Jak’s potted some brave impressive long reds today but you wouldn’t bet your house on him potting anything. A miss seems to come from nowhere from him.

I can’t watch :grimacing:

Now I can. Match over. Shit final.

This must be the worst performance by anyone in a long, long time in the final.

They say this game is played in the 6 inches between your ears and Jak’s brain has turned to sludge.

Kyren got beaten worse than this by Ronnie a few years ago (think it was 18-8) and the lads hardly doing that bad, hes just banged out a century.
Even if the finish is 18-11 tonight thats a respectable score for his first final. Lets be honest, even getting there is bloody amazing!

This is all true. I posted that before he proved me wring with a century :smile:

After the first 4 frames I did check the famous John Parrot drubbing (18-3). Getting to double figures is respectable.

All today he’s struggled to pot 3 balls in a row. He’s blown so hot and cold it’s incredible. Pots some worldies and then misses (for a professional) you would think literally unmissable shots time and time again.

(For context if I pot 3 balls in a row my palms get sweaty from the sheer pressure)

Hopefully he’s slightly in the future and Jak wins the next 5 frames in a row.

Can’t feel too sorry for these guys whining about the Crucibal and wanting to fuck off to Saudi Arabia. Must be so hard not having private cars arranged for you by the venue

Exactly. Moaning that they dont get massages between games. Pretty sure they could get a few lasses from Attercliffe to give them a hand backstage.

I hope I’m still here at midnight

This came up on my YT feed and I basically have to watch it anytime it does, and now you do too

The single greatest feat in any sport. It will never be topped.

I’m not the only one then!

It’s just someone so at the top of their game, such nonchalance, confidence to keep any doubts at bay and just ploughing through like it doesn’t even matter. It’s the only way to be able to play that fast and still be on point. That’s the biggest feat in my mind. Incredible.
