I’m sure at some point there will be a women that one day that will be on par with the top men

Never going to happen mikee, it's biological and nothing to do with numbers. Women just don't have the enhanced hand/eye co-ordination that men have, men evolved to be the hunters and women the gatherers and child minders and no amount of woke indoctrination will change that. The only real hope for womens snooker is that enough of them start playing and get to have their own tour, but that will mean they have to look feminine to attract other females, wearing a penguin suit ain't going to do it.

I really doubt that. Would like to be proved wrong, but men have been hunting with spears for around 500,000 years, that's a lot of very specific hand eye coordination embedded instinct for the ladies to catch up on.

To be fair to Reanne Evans I've just seen Adam Duffy make a nice 42 clearance to lead Ricky Walden 3 - 1 and I didn't actually watch her match yesterday, you just never know

Yeah I know that and generally woman's snooker is a crap standard ,but not quite as bad as woman's cricket ,which is sorrowful to say the least .point being it would be good to see one women with a real talent for snooker .When you look at Reanne Evens record ,she’s
only made a few centuries with a high break of 118 but won the womens Workd championship 12 times ,so unfortunately it shows how bad the rest of them are .

It's crazy how few centuries RE has made, I think it's three, why they get tour cards I'll never know. If they are going to hand out free cards I would rather they gave those tour cards to the Indian or Brazilian, or any African or American champion and really try and make snooker a global sport.

Impressive, but it looks like a light white.

I think everybody involved in the game from the decision makers to the female players themselves recognize they aren’t at the same standard of the men on tour or even better amateurs.
I think people are missing the point , it’s about growing the game on all sides including getting more women players involved. To do this you have to promote women players in the sport and the best way is to get them out there playing on the main tour where the exposure is highest.
The more women players coming into the sport the more the standard will improve over time .
I think snooker is more global now than it’s ever been but of course there is always scope to grow the sport even further.

Thats just my opinion of course ..

I like Davis’s shot below it. Reminds me of what Pat Block said about men with spears and the hand to eye coordination! Just like scewering a fish!

[fkhan]

Is that a legal shot? I think yes. Am I wrong?

Definitely heard two clicks I’m pretty sure those balls were just apart enough for a legal contact ,not sure what Hawkins was banging on about ,he couldn’t have seen anything from his seat .Anyway the ref was happy so he should have told the sore loser to just get on with the next frame .

It's the distance he got the cue ball to travel, with the balls only a couple of inches apart he's managed to get about 18feet of travel, looks suspicious to me.

I watched this over an over and if you focus on the cue ball just after the hit it swerves at little like it was pushed. And yes - the amount of travel would probably result from that.
