Final frame. It’s often a bit of a disappointment when a player gets in at the start of a decider and their opponent doesn’t get a chance.

I voted don't care.
One of the beauties of snooker is that anything can happen. If I had expectations about what I would 'enjoy' wataching, I'd be unhappy most of the time. Any frame can be enjoyable, regardless of where the balls fall.
Regarding Williams' break, I like it. As others have said, there are only a few shots needed before the frame gets going (less than one minute) and the spread of the reds is different from the standard break, meaning more care and thought is needed in the early safety exchange.

The aim of the break off used to be to return the white to the baulk cushion.
I dont understand why the top players cant achieve that regularly.
The danger of hitting the back of the pack is leaving a touching bsll, allowing your opponent to return to baulk without disturbing any reds, leaving a conventional break off type shot next which may tie up the black anyway.

Yes. But I guess then the same shot could just be played again and again?

If these guys are that good maybe they should just copy this break!
