They heard you. Murphy match on. At least on bet365 stream. Just one overhead camera though.

Most of us would prefer best of nines, or best of 11s. But I don't think bo7s are as much of a lottery as people think.

They're just a bit too short.


I've grown to love them recently. I like that there is no break and I think the top players play slightly more aggressive than they would do in a longer match.

So far, how many upsets were there?

Dan-Cat I envy you, you were there in person to witness that magic moment weren't you..


Yeah I couldn't believe it as it unfolded. After he played that magic left-handed deep screw on the final red the camera switches to the crowd and you can see my girlfriend and I grinning like loons. I'm the one in the Bill Hicks T shirt. :)

SF was there as well but I only found out afterwards.

Be nice if Eurosport made use of this camera...

he underachieved so much


you can say that about a lot of players, but yes Stevens is such an underachiever. Should have won at the very least 5 or 6 ranking events.
