Yes, he won a couple of smaller events. Scottish Open etc.

But he looked every bit the superstar this tournament. But you wouldn't really have said that prior to this tournament, truth be told.

He doesn't practice with other pro's much, so I guess he needed time to develop his game and work on his matchplay. He did win the China Championship in 2017 where he beat Ronnie and Murphy.


he lost his cue shortly after that win. remember when he turned up at the masters with two cues.

Thats right he had cue problems. He’s got a new cue now. I think it’s a good one.

I’ve been saying this for ages :shrug: Luca’s been underrated for a long time.

Luca followed by Selby. Ronnie had a poor season. Or at least since late November.

Overall the player with the toughest lineups and circumstances won the final. Well deserved for Brecel.
Promising to see young players come forward.

For me, the big change in Brecel's game has been the quality of his safety play. He's always been able to pot balls off the lampshades, but until recently his safety play was truly atrocious. In this world's, he was very solid in that department.

This is 8th time Ronnie has finished a season at WN1, one behind Hendry's record of 9.

Great stats. He'll need Number 8++ to do it next year!

I knew his Mum's milkman, Robert, and he had a glint in his eye.
