Harsh for Luca - loses this final and in doing so, Zhao also nicks his place at the Ally Pally from him.

so pleased for Zhao to fulfil his potential, I remember some match he was involved in around 5 yrs ago and I recall me saying to my m8 that this kid was the future of snooker as he is such a great talent, I just want lisowski to make the break through now as jack is no less talented than Zhao in my opinion.

Watched him blow a 3-0 lead against Aaron Hill only a few weeks ago and simply cannot fathom how that same player could have gone on to do what he did this week. It's simply incredible. Fair play to him anyway, sport could do with one or two more like him.

I actually backed him for this and the World Championship after he beat Higgins. As per my earlier comments on this thread having seen him against Lines I thought that money was well and truly down the pan. Ye of little faith. The Management was spot on. Bet Fred who were the longest when I placed my bet on the World Championship are now the shortest at 20/1 so perhaps they took a few bets at the big price?

This just emphasises the luck attached to gambling. There are probably several who saw what I saw against Higgins many years ago. By now they have probably given up on him. Had I not seen the Higgins, and instead first watched the Lines match there is no way I would have bothered.

I remember when Davis came back from china, after been beaten by Xintong, and talking about this "future world champion" so I kept an eye on him ever since. One thing always struck me, he was always favourite when he played in the juniors, world u/18, u/21 amateur etc, and always found a way of getting beat, can't even recall him making a final. Wasn't just that he'd no safety game, not many kids have, but there seemed to be at least one stupidly bonkers shot every frame, crazy low percentage stuff. And the few times I'd seen him lately, he wasn't giving me much encouragement he'd moved on significantly. So, like lats, I'm just stumped by what happened last week. The discipline and composure more than the potting, the latter wasn't in doubt.
Fair play to him and to backers. I'd still be wondering how that game could stand up to the demands two weeks of the crucible marathon, but then, what do I know anymore ![]() |

Started watching Zhao about 5 years ago. Knew he was this great potter and very entertaining. He was always on the outside tables with just about 3/4 people watching.
He often failed to get over the line, and seemed more intent on his phone than getting the result. Glad to see his talent shine through at the highest level, and hope he doesn't think he's now a bigtime charlie. |
