It seems like a eternity since Mark Williams lifted the Rotterdam Open crown and there's still 6 days to go before the next tournament and 10 days before Top 16 players enter the arena again. don't know about burnout i think they have to guard against ring rustiness.

No point hiding away from it, this match appears to have been fixed. All bets were off before the start and TT played shocking by all accounts.

Live scoring in the Passakorn match was comical in the decider. Someone must've had a word at the MSI "Make it look closer" but the trouble when losing to a player of the calibre of Khairy is that you have to play really really bad in order for that to happen. In the end it looks like Passakorn made the most of a foul and miss situation and ended up teeing his opponent up by deliberately sticking the balls over the holes. Disgraceful.

really is time for Luca to start putting in good performances more regularly.

Such a talent but just too casual.

And as Luca is playing in one of them I would say definitely yes.

So are you saying both Passakorn and TT fixed their matches?


It would appear that way, yes.

I think Wattana managed to attain success quite early in his career so maybe he didn't need the money as much?

Though, I do remember reading something about him being caught up some Thai gangsters back in the day.

as sonny pointed out on twitter earlier their families could have been threatened however they are pretty stupid gangsters by trying to fix 2 results in one session
