Baz or China's snookering equivalent to Roger Federer?
|
|
By:
Baz won't give as many chances as Jack did, that's for sure. Baz the more reliable, but Zhao has that ability to just blow people away, IF they let him.

China's Roger Federer is pretty good, isn't he?
|
|
By:
6 breaks of 74+ in 7 frames. Very good indeed.
Baz still made it too easy, though. |

By:
first time i have heard him speak, what a nice lad

By:
tough one to call this one. coin flip of a match. hoping one of them forges ahead early so can get a decent trade on the other for a comeback.

I remember Luca's one and only ranking final to date, where he played The Governess (China Championship 2017). He ended up winning very comfortably on the scoreboard, but it was an absolute $hit show of a match. Some of the nerviest snooker I can ever recall. Just checked, and he won 10-5, but only made 2 breaks over 50 in 15 frames played!
![]() ![]() As for Zhao, he's been scoring really well all season, but he's never looked like he's had it in him to go all the way in events before - there's nothing in the locker if the potting's not firing. In fact, some of his results this season have been utterly dreadful (losses to Aaron Hill, Paul Deaville - a 17 year old playing the first professional tournament of his career - and Peifan Lei). It's hard to see where the improvement has come from. I do think both Jack and Baz fell into the trap of trying to beat him at his own game, and it wouldn't surprise me completely if Luca did the same. Add in that this is pretty much an alien environment (a ranking final) for both, and anything could happen (though granted, Zhao does seem to have this innate ability to just shrug things off). |

very dismissive of probably the biggest talent in the game since a young ronnie , surely you can see what a special player he is latalomne , i'm talking about xintong here

By:
Special players don't go off at 800/1 start of tourney, imo
The players nowadays all take it in turn to win There's no stand out. It was Judd last year |
