2022 Turkish Masters

[Ronnie's tip]

Would love for Ding to win! Hard to look past Trump though. If he wins this it will be ominous as he's peaking at a great time of the season.

Soz Delphi, yes Eurosport 2 channel

Ah ok, yes that won't work here, not FTA, but i have access to the player anyway.

I would just love to see him speak up against the war.

China (Xi that is) is completely backing Putin on this, officially saying the Nato and the whole West is to blame. It's grotesque.
So once again it's up to the people to turn against their erratic leaders. Ding's voice might have a chance to be heard. By some at least.


Sorry for being political, but right now anything is

Was a bit surprised when Ding was announced first and went to the right (as seen on TV)
Just checked... Ding 32, Selt 31
had heard that Ding had slipped but not realised that much

Murphy showed the difference between a struggling pro and one who's earned his stripes tonight. Annoying and was gutted for lines, but at the end of the day he had his chances tbh.

Murphy was brought up in an ideal area for pro snooker where he went to the old dr marten premier league matches on tv and had the full backing of his father , maybe a strain of a self - entitled attitude re the loss to si jiahui was a reason he was bullied , i dont know , and much the same with lines too , but yes i agree frustrating if you were rooting for lines , lines is pretty high in yellow on snooker.org to get another two year card though.

selt was clinging on for dear life in the last 64 vs ursenbacher and is now favourite to make the final , currently leading 2 - 0 , i like to see these kind of runs similar to perry and fan zhengyi , not the same old same old all the time.

[balkend]

Ding better win frame 4 or he is gone from this semi final

[DeanH]

Well done Selt

can he keep his 100% win rate in Finals?

[Nifty50]

No final for Ding. Shame.

As if he's gonna speak up against the war! NATO's stance is Ukraine is not in NATO but we can sell you arms and anti missile and put sanctions on Russian Oligarchs to help you fight against the Russian Army but we are not going to put any NATO soldiers on Ukraine soil. Well in my books, NATO only look after their own.

I thought Stephen Lee was banned from professional tournaments.

Screenshot_20220313-015627_Eurosport.jpg Is Murphy's smaller cue tip coming to bite him? He played for position on the black off the pack of reds and fell well short, the cue ball landed almost parallel to the pink and black spots. He tried to hit the green and then brown but missed both times by a long way. I suspect the 8.7 mil tip imparts a lot more side (more room for error due to the small tip) causing him to miss such shots where the butt of the cue has to be raised up.

Somebody at his level who has been playing for that long with a tip that size won’t generally make mistakes when it comes to adjusting for side . Saying that even the pro’s will sometimes make mistakes regardless of tip size.

When did Sport have to become political? Did our UK players speak up against the illegal invasions in iraq etc? What has happened to Chelsea is just plain wrong. If guilty by assosociation is a thing then Prince Andrew should be given the noose Epstein allegedly used! Not Pro Russia at all btw! I'm just glad snooker isn't being used
