Julien is 20 years old and Ben is still only 18, and I'm already impressed by both of them. I think they will be top players soon.

I don't remember Johnson being charming. Maybe it was because I was only ten and was a Jimmy fan.

I got his autograph when I was at The Masters. My ticket fell out of my autograph book, and when I picked it up he glanced at it and said; "Hey! You've got a better seat than me."

Great guy to chat to.

Don't really use it much any more.

An average safety game is secondary. And despite Lucas very good performance he still missed a few easy balls which Hendry wouldnt do.

Prime Hendry would beat Selby something like 18:11 or 18:12 in a World final.

Nowhere near is massive hyperbole. In this final the way he came back to 8:9 on the first day was very prime Selby like just like he did in 2014 and 2017. But Luca was flying in the 3rd session and didnt allow history to repeat itself.

My point remains that a strong potting and scoring performance is the key to beat Selby. All out attack Snooker is a much better choice than an allround performance where you try to compete in the safety. Prime Hendrys game was ideal to beat Selby in a 4 session match.

On Eurosport this time for me in Spain, I could either watch it with the regular commentators like Dale and Joe etc, or this guy by himself. Sometimes I only had this guy as an option, not the regular ones, it is so strange. Why bother to employ another one for a different stream if you already have the mainstays on the matches?
