2019 Welsh Open

Looks like he has a lot of tension in his cuing arm to me, not sure what is going on with him

[pottr]

If you look at a shot long enough, you'll see a problem.

You can see how important this is to both of them, neither play is in stroke.

[bobmikeking]

I wish they wouldn't change camera angles as much as they do, as often as they do, so it would be easier to see things like that

Bit "off thread" but not the best preparation for China Qualifier for Dominic. He plays tomorrow at 10.00 and needs to get himself from Cardiff to Channick.

[pottr]

I imagine he's being compensated financially and might be in the 'who needs a trip to China' camp?

[bobmikeking]

Pretty sure he has already said if he drops off the tour this year he is retiring and might go into commentary. Possibly he has already made up his mind and just wants to enjoy his final year.

[pottr]

Big Frame, that one.

[bobmikeking]

Big frame straight to horrible kiss

Yes he has said this.

[Cue crafty]

Looks like the Great White shark smelt blood and went on the attack! Deserved win I'd have to say.

[Billy]

To lose a 7-3 lead and then win the match with a break like that was quite incredible.

I agree he did deserve it, not a game I will be watching a replay of though.

Looks like it has affected him , 2 frames up already !

Dominic's opponent didn't show up! Wonder if Dom had any prior knowledge of this.

Could have had a lie in this morning!

Congrats to Neil Robertson, his already 15th ranking title, though most of them have been minor ones lately.
Didn't see much of the second session, but at least some exciting safety duels. Seemed that Robertson's long potting was way off. Still have him as a candidate for the World Championship, though funnily enough I'd give him a slightly better chance had he not won here. It's actually hard for me to see him win a third ranking title this season with his lack in consistency.
