Did you see that Jack was one millimetre away from going in off on that last brown, and giving Pagett an easy four ball clearance to level.
Jack put his head in his hands. Very lucky.

Yes Thepchaiya has struggled for consistency. Fan's a great talent, but very fragile. He's admitted to psychological problems, but at least he's not refusing centuries anymore. I find his technique fascinating, and I'm still undecided whether he can make it playing in such a way.

Me too. Should be a good match.
I was going to watch Neil Robertson, but I have not found his matches very interesting lately.

Yep he certainly was very lucky there to be fair.

i think there's a thin dividing line between consistency and just the realisation that the tour has a lot of good players and nothing or very little is easy , i watched about the last three frames of this match and saw very little wrong with un nooh just two good players fighting hammer and tongs , who do you favour in the zhengyi vs lu ning match tomorrow , cheers.

Why was he refusing centuries?
I would love to make a century.

Thepchaiya played some terrible shots near the end. It was Fan's biggest win so far, but I expect Lu Ning to beat him quite easily. Lu can control the game and limit Fan's chances.

He would normally just bash the balls around in the 90's. He wanted to make a 147 as his first professional century, and he nearly did it against Zak Surety, missing a red into the yellow pocket on 96. But he got terrible abuse on social media and stopped refusing them.

Oh, I see. And he got terrible abuse on social media for that. If he doesn't want to make tons, he doesn't have to. It's his choice and no one else's. Stupid social media trolls.

Yes it was a tough time for the teenager. He said in an interview that he was having a miserable time in the UK (he stayed here throughout the lockdown when there were no tournaments) and felt he wasn't doing himself justice on the table. Most likely the century thing was a sign of despair.

Did I say that? I don't think I've ever rated Castle, except perhaps in Q School.

OK. I understand.
Anyway, I like his style, so I have put him on my 'Chinese players to watch' list, along with Zhao Xintong and Wu Yize.

Brecel hasn't played brilliantly, but Wu Yize has missed far too many routine pots.
When I see Wu from behind he looks like a Jimmy White Jr.

No chance at all. But Gao has just turned 17, and is a terrific talent. People writing him off as 'useless' after the Trump match in Belfast probably haven't seen him play any other matches. He only played a few shots in that match anyway.

He's trying too hard in this match. When he relaxes he plays very smoothly, like a young Thepchaiya. There are videos of him making 147's in ridiculous times, like under 5 mins.

Robbie Williams 78-0 up with ten reds left on the table. You don't see that very often.

He was snookered on all the reds. He got called foul and a miss about 8 times in a row. But he hit the black 4 times in a row. It was quite funny to watch.

My old mate Andy Hicks goes 2-0 up against Kurt Maflin. So I am thinking, come on Andy!
Then he loses the next 5 in a row to lose the match. This is getting boring now.

Fan refused centuries.
https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/hAZafdmAg2cHy1lWPIYkVABut it seems like he's a reformed character now. Hopefully not too late.
