2019 Riga Masters

[DeanH]

well done tour debutante Louis Heathcote with 4-3 win over Ryan Day

[Neil Taperell]

A good start by Riley Parsons , shame he didn't win his first match though .

[Neil Taperell]

Michael White up against it , 3 nil down . Such a talented player but not playing to his talent at the moment .

[DeanH]

impressive clean sweep for Adam Stefanow against Michael White.

Michael definitely not on form at the start of the season

[Neil Taperell]

Fraser playing tonight , tough match against Scott Donaldson...……..come on Frazz :snooker:

[DeanH]

Daniel Wells through to next round, always nice to qualify for the first event of the season

[Neil Taperell]

Lee Walker average shot time at 36.40 secs , must be the slowest player on the tour . Would like to watch him play a frame , so that I can understand why he plays at that pace . Does any one know if it is because he spends a lot of time actually down on the shot ?

Alan McManus V Barry Pinches have the record of about 101 minutes for longest played frame I think . Is there any referee who asks a player to speed up ? never saw it myself

[DeanH]

100m 24s McManus vs Pinches 2015 Ruhr Open - was not due to slow play but the black getting stuck int a corner pocket and neither wanting to knock it n
(2nd longest frame)

[longest frame currently - 123m 41s O'Brien v Gilbert 2017 World Championship Qualifiers]

and no, I have not seen (or heard of) a referee ask a player to speed up their game.
