2025 German Masters

[neuronic]

I worry about Ronnie, the crazy genius at the declining stage of his career. I hope he's got good people around him who genuinely care.

Don't worry about him... he's just cherry picking, that's all.

I hope you're right.

Watching a bit of Kyrens match, appears to be a lot of bad contacts.
not sure if it’s down to arena conditions or just this table but seems pretty bad for both players.

Yes, I noticed this as well. Atmosphere?

Having watched some of the other tables now, they don’t appear as bad. I noticed Kyren play a couple of screw shots that didn’t react much and he normally gets a fair bit of action on the ball so I think the table was playing heavy.

it’s a big arena so I guess it’s difficult to get the heating equally distributed.

Zhang Anda has really put himself through the wringer in his match against Dotty!! Had chances to win 5:0 5:1 5:2 5:3. Now looking like 4:4 and I’d fancy Dott to win the decider, he has all the momentum.

Dott had his chance in the decider. But Anda slides through :0

Played very courageously there in the end Anda. Must have been tough doing the grave yard shift,with so many leaving the arena and being the only table left out there.

So it's nothing to do with chalk then is it!

Very high camera in the Lisowski Ursenbacher match, reminds me of the Crucible in the 90's with Ray Edmonds commentating.

I may be stating the obvious but I can't help but complain about the horrible tinny sound MJW's tip makes every time he plays a shot.

Enjoy it while you still can. Email today from discovery+ that the snooker is going from £6.99 D+ subscription to a £30.99 TNT Sports subscription - of course you get more sports for TNT but that doesn't help those of us only interested in the snooker justify the cost. Just the BBC and ITV events for me now.

Comfortable win there for Jak in the end... I really wonder for how much longer John will be able to keep up his motivation.

You can’t get Eurosport where you are? Although you’re not much better off with this channel anyway. Their schedules and coverage is about as reliable as a secondhand car salesman.
