Would love to have a time machine and set up a match between an on-form Higgins and an on-form O'Sullivan,,,

That 147 will never be beaten.

Hope Williams beats Higgins.

Yeah I think he will

Judd-Williams final, Ronnie looks a bag of nerves. I hope he settles in.

Is Ronnie winning I haven't caught his match yet?

Yep, he's up 6-2.

Next session 10am tomorrow, I believe.

He’s been lucky imho. He needs to lock in

 

[MNW67]

After seeing him discuss his mental health a few days ago, I have found it too uncomfortable to watch him play.

I'll try and watch a bit of him tomorrow.

Yeah it’s a tough watch!

Good on him for opening up though, it takes guts.

I think the old players would be amazed by him, he does make it look so easy.

All good players make it look easy.

And I know it was a different era, fewer players, fewer competitions, much less travel, shorter matches, probably slower tables.

But Joe Davis - 15 consecutive World Championships, World Champion for 20 years (a spot of bother with the Germans put things on hold for 5 years, but he retained his title when it started up again). The only undefeated World Champion in the history of the game, and through his entire professional career won every single match he played on level terms. For 15+ years, not one player in the world could beat him without being given a head start. He was also World Billiards Champion 4 times while he was Snooker WC.

And he was the first player to make an officially recognised 147.

I dont know enough about Joe Davis, I'll do a bit of research

He was good, but he’d not stand a chance against an on form Ronnie.

I thought it was Rex Williams?

Luca Bracel is on fire...
