Ebdon didn't do Jack much good. Neil's dad didn't do much good for his preparation. Is it possible that ebdon and neil's dad are the same person?

The QF looks set to be one-sided as well, O'Sullivan, Allen and McGill will all win easily. Higgins v Selby is the only match could potentially be close.

That's where the likes of Selby Battling for everything when hes struggling gets wins out of nothing Jack did not he just played the same game.
Yes he talented but a bit one dimensional as a player.
Yea but point is Selby has all sort of different side to his game one of the Best Breakbuilders theres ever been. early next season he will be passing Hendrys total of Centuries currently on 766 but hes multidimensional in the way he plays the game and gets criticized for that but Jack plays in the way many would like Selby to play and Jack gets criticized for that.
There is a very good reason why Ronnie Plays the way he does because hes Special, its up to everyone else to find the best way to combat that.
If everyone plays the Ronnie way to the same standard, then he wouldn't be special any more.

That’s what I meant, Jack is a one dimensional player not Selby.

I wouldn't right off Si at all. I expect the wheel to fall off at some point, but McGill showed plenty of weakness at the end of the Jack match. Jak Jones has been terrific as well, who knows which Allen will turn up? Ronnie hasn't been thoroughly convincing either, whereas Brecel is on it.
It's not impossible we get a Brecel, Jones, Si, Higgins/Selby line up.

What a crap article! It's really trying to make Kyren look bad, but it all seems well nature enough.

That's just journalism now, isn't it? Take a mild commemt that somebody said and blow it out of all proportion.
That or reporting on Twitter quotes like they mean anything.

Sport journos seem especially bad for that sort of thing. Makes sense, in the past sport would have had limited space in a physical paper. Now they have unlimited space so you get a lot of nothing articles. This one seemed really bad though, completely misleading.
