World Snooker Championship 2022

Nah I don't see it. Alex was a sideshow. Granted he had moments. As regards the pockets you should seek out a championship table and see the difference. To a club table. I think what has changed though is the cloths which makes positional play a bit easier.

Griffiths was a snooker contemporary of Alex Higgins and he got a similar amount of centuries. Terry Griffiths!

Frustrating player to watch. Has the game if he applied himself. He admitted that he lacks focus/dedication or whatever you like to call it.

It's down to the new chalk they use. I say new, it's been around a couple of years at least. I think most of the players use it now. It's expensive but if it can help prevent ruining chances, it's worth it for professionals.

I find it very frustrating that Ronnie to me often gets handy draws. He hasn't faced one yet, while other players have had them since round 1. It was the same in 2020(though he should have been beaten by Ding and Selby). He won playing mostly average snooker.

Basically, he only really potentially has 2 difficult matches to win the tournament this year. While all the others are knocking each other out. Maguire is the worst player of the 8 left in the Championship, and I would say by some distance.

Higgins v Lisowski going to the script so far. Higgins 4-3 up. Lisowski errors.

Good so far by Maguire, 6-4. But those are damning stats from the lads in the BBC studio. Only 4 victories for Maguire against O'Sullivan, compared to 18 for Ronnie. And crucially, his last victory was a decade ago in the China Open.

And just I say that, Maguire has missed an easy red.

If you can, watch the overhead replay of it. It hit the cushion first and still went in. That's a joke. I seen something similar yesterday on a blue, someone mentioned it in the comments here. The pockets definitely are more forgiving.

Unfortunately, the site won't let me upload a video of it.
