He's a great potter, Pandora. His scoring has been phenomenal this week. That is not in question. If you are trying to tell me he has a tremendous all-round game, however, I am going to tell you that you are wrong. If you leave him chances, on this week's form, he will take them. The answer, therefore, is to not leave him chances. Don't take on risky pots. Put him in trouble. That is your best chance of countering his scoring.

well i just love watching him play, its like poetry in motion, definitely reminds me of ronnie in his teenage years
|

He's pretty much played no-miss snooker for 11 of the 12 frames from 2-1 down v Jack, so I completely get that. It won't always work out that way, however.

Agree with Lats - It's great to watch bit it's difficult to win 7 matches on the trot (i.e. win a tournament) playing one-dimensional "no-miss" snooker - If you don't believe me, ask Judd Trump. Trump has won roughly the same number of tournaments (including the World Champs) in the few years since he (finally grew up and) changed his approach, as he won in the preceding 15 years of playing one-dimensional "naughty snooker".
Zhao is a proper talent when it comes to potting balls and can blow absolutely anybody away - but he's also capable of getting slaughtered on a non-going day and capable of missing by a foot when trying to get out of a snooker even when he is on a going day! |

By:
If you want a list of under-achievers in the game (relative to their ability and incredible natural talent) just look for the one-dimensional (try for the pot every-time) players: The young Jimmy White and Trump probably the most high profile on the list - but Brecel, Lisowski and Zhao all probably fall into the same category unless they mature at some stage.

Add Theppy to the list, too, TM, though of course he IS a ranking event winner!
 |
|
By:
Theppy is a good shout - they'll all have "a day in the sun" at some point - but I'm not having the Shoot-out as ranking Lats!
 Or the six reds (when they no doubt try to make it ranking)!  |

Big misses from Speccy that frame, leads 4-3. |

His pot success for the last three matches must be insane.
