Never heard of this guy until he beat Ronnie and the style he won that match suggested he was playing with no fear or intimidation at all so I'm not too shocked he went all the way. Century break to win the final frame is such a brilliant way to finish aswell. Not sure. Apparently Brecel was smashing adult pros at 12, he was always considering to be the next big thing but whatever reason it’s not happened (although the reference to the constant parties might be an issue) Hes always had all the talent in the world, but until this tournament it’s never all clicked.

Just taken a bit of time to reach his potential but is still under 30 in sport in which you can win weall into your 40's. Thought I would have predicted that a player from China would win the worlds before Belgium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted May 2, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 2, 2023 Actually missing not having the snooker on today. Recently I haven't really felt that. Guess it must have been a much better tournament all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted June 7, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 7, 2023 I’m any other sport I think this would be huge news. I’m not sure many would be surprised at this one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Bumping this for the Masters tourny that just finished. Really enjoyed it, so much so I'm gonna start knocking the balls about again myself. *insert gif* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I was at the final. The highlight was Ronnie snotting all over the floor. What a disgusting weapon he is. Shame Carter is also a knob. It was a strange final, very little safety and very fast pace of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talldarkandransome Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 O'Sullivan is probably the biggest knob around, in any sport. It was a shame Carter didn't win. I used to like watching him but now it's just a series of excuses whether he wins or not. If he was my dad, I'd slap him around the face and tell him to grow up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 It's a dying sport in the UK so it will be the next generation of Chinese players who eventually take over and dominate the game. At the moment Williams, Higgins, O'Sullivan etc. can't be dislodged by the younger players because they aren't good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always moaning, shrugging his shoulders, talking down to people etc.. his comment "These so-called 'up and comers'" irked me a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he's the most talented player in history, but now he's just an arrogant prick. None of the other greats has ever been that arrogant. It's a good job they don't still drink while they play as a few of them might spark him out, I'd deffo cue him around the head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
