Scott managed to take his chances better towards the end, hopefully he can learn from this experience.

Judd never played like there was any chance he could lose the match.

Of course it wasn't. He lost 6-3, he didn't disgrace himself.

Has to be said, though Eurosport did well at The Masters, their coverage has been weak as buck this week.

Colin Murray is a bellend, and *unpopular opinion alert* Ronnie adds nothing.

Ronnie has been surprisingly good as a pundit.


I find him to flick between generic stating the obvious "He'll have to play well to win this match", to gross overstatemet/hyperbole "This teenager who is a prospect.... IS GOING TO WIN EIGHT WORLD TITLES!"

of course Judd was going to win its new territory for donaldson but we will be hearing a lot from scott.

one of only 4 players to break in to the top 64 in the first season of a 2 year tour card Hamilton, Bingtao, Zhou Yuelong the others

Agreed. Again.

That's about four times since Friday.

Hope the burger was good for that price.

Great clearance by Bingham, but the difference in class between the two players is like night and day.

Milkins missing two easy cannons altogether, a black off the spot and awful cue ball control to throw that frame away.
