Having watched most matches on TV , at this year's world championship , [ something i have done since 1980.] I keep hearing the commontators saying how this is the best tounament ever . Well i beg to differ .
Firstly apart from one match ,none have thus far gone the distance . or looked like doing so ,The16 players who qualified ,totally failed to get close to there seeded opponents [even Higginson ,who faced a Murphy who was awful]. most may never get a better chance, as none of the top 16 have been playing well this year .
Williams gifted [HIS MATE ] Hendry the match .Fu, and Ebdon , well did they turn up ?.And as for the Hundred breaks , too much of a good thing , its starting to be monotonous . Obviously the 147 was great , but Hendry is probably doing a Fred Davis , one final fling , he misses to many easy shots ,to ever win a world or Uk ,again .
The Semis will probably be three of the worlds top 5, and the winner will be either Murphy or Higgins .
Finally , if they are going to make the tables [ pockets easier ] i think by constantly changing the cloths ] remember constant 100 breaks make the game like 9 ball , I would do what they did at Wimbledon bite the bullet , there they reduced the pressure in the balls to make a more even playing field [Nadal would have never got close to winning otherwise ] Put thicker cloths on the tables, and if need be reduce the length of matches to say best of 21 to the final, because i for one am board rigid thus far, Close games equal tension ,equal , more support/ sponsors . this is dirge .
