Hi there,
(Relatively new) snooker fan here. I first watched the World Championship final last year between Mark Selby and Ding Junhui. I found it quite enjoyable and got me to learn about the rules of snooker. I sort of kept watching a few matches here and there in between in my free time and just got more and more into it. This year's world championship was the first one that I followed from start to finish, others were mostly after the tournament has been finished, I wasn't really following it.
Being a lot more familiar with snooker now, including the history, I re-watched the first match that I saw, last year's final and it was a new perspective, now understanding a lot more about the game. Even knowing about who the people in commentators are (particularly Stephen Hendry and Steve Davis) made it re-watching completely different too.
My favourite player is Mark Selby. I like his grit and determination and tactical knowledge and he has an excellent A-game as well. As Terry Griffiths said, "There are many ways to win a snooker match. Mark Selby knows all of them." Apart from Mark Selby, Ronnie O' Sullivan is also a big favourite.
So even though it has been just a year, I think I've learnt a lot about the game as I have watched it a lot, basically I have watched a match almost every week since last year's world championship final and also read up on it.
What has been your snooker journey?
