Yep. And also the start of more finals and wins for Luca. He’s been away from the business end for far too long.

Was this the best UK Championships since they shortened the matches to best of eleven?

It’s one of those ‘finals we hoped would happen but didn’t happen’ that actually happened!

I think for the near future Zhao could be a little bit like the pre 2018/2019 Trump. He will win tournaments, able to beat anyone on his day and will have around 3 tournaments every season where he is flying and hopefully win 1 of them. 2 tops. But also a lot of first and second round defeats.
Whether he can go beyond that level , only time will tell but atm what I said above is most likely scenario for me.

The digital key on the online check in thingy didn't work so I had to go to the front desk to get it fixed anyway. Bit bucking pointless.
