If it came anywhere near delivering on what it claims to be, it would be. As it stands, it doesn’t.

Ronnie beat Walden in an hour in 2014.
Would be interesting to see if it was the shortest 6-5 in a best of 11 match.

Just had to add my congratulations to Luca! Great stuff! I’m really hoping this is a prelude to a great year for him.

Yes, it’s me. All I know is I got drunk and woke up next to a different account... If anyone sees my old one then please let me know.

People are still chatting in the final thread, so I hope it's still fine to post here.
Was reading Clive Everton's book "Simply the Best" and he says Hendry and Ronnie had a semi-final that went 6-5 and
lasted 1 hour 47 minutes.
But! he also stated that Ronnie's 13-4 match with Tony Drago only took 2 hours 12 minutes, which is much shorter than the 2 hours 47 minutes wikipedia and fansites have it listed at.

2 hours and 12 minutes for a Best of 25 is like 5 min per frame!
I always wanted to watch that match on Youtube but sadly they only have Drago's 144 break in that match.
