Hot take: as much as I love bo17s I’d rather have bo11s that weren’t happening concurrently so i could watch both in full.

He is. I think we haven't even seen him play his very best yet. If he gets some confidence by winning some big events I think we'll start to see him play his real A game.

I can see that opinion, if I'm honest.

Though I'd prefer a way that the best of 17s could both be shown.

I hope Luca wins this match.

Assuming the Dreamboat doesn’t capsize from 9-1 up it would be great to have two 20-somethings battling it out for a truly major ranking event.

If Robbo wins I’d expect him to beat Jack fairly comfortably.

Agreed.

The Dreamboat navigates his way through international waters to dock at Final Island.

What a demolition job. 10-1

Yeah - forgot about that.

Let's hope not (if he gets there)
