    Mark Selby is an unbelievable player.The hate towards him started from 2014 when he beat Ronnie in that WC final.He would ve been loved like no other (except Ronnie O Sullivan ) if he hasn t denied him that title.I m a Ronnie fan,and a huge one,like many many others,and we feel devasted every time he loses.There is a saying..."there are no epic matches without formidable opponents" ,and this is true.Mark Selby is a formidable opponent.Hats off to him and we should give him the respect that he deserves: He s one of the greatest players that play the game.He s the ultimate snooker challenge.I hope he wins it cause if there s one player that should win at least 5 ,it s him.I don t hate u any more ,Mark.I forgive u.

    Selby is one of the great players of the game, both currently, and eventually, all time. Not saying top 5, or even top 10 (yet), but one of the greatest ever. He played an extroadinary frame here, and good on 'em. Although he lost the match, this frame is one of those special frames that will live on for a long time. He can be proud of himself.

    I do not understand as a non regular watcher of snooker how the ball sometimes stays out and sometimes looks wide but somehow goes in does it have something to do with the spinning mechanism or is there a spirit that blows the ball in for players it wants to win games!

    • @gimmick2509
      @gimmick2509 Год назад +1

      It's a combination of spin, speed of a ball and table construction/fitting involved. Although there are pocket templates and fitting standards, tables are assembled by hand

    Was talking to my dad earlier about Selby. He said that he started off in Willie Thorne’s snooker club. As an aside, he said that Thorne was well known for knocking in maximums for fun. I was surprised. And I’m surprised by this too!

    • @theycallmejpj
      @theycallmejpj Год назад +4

      Funnily enough Willie was the person who told mark he wasn’t good enough to play professionally. It was mark’s dad who told him to just go for it. Willie said (possibly quite rightly) that mark didn’t have a natural talent and he would need to put in twice the hours his contempories were to keep up. Willie didn’t however know that mark’s gritty resolve would mean he would do just that, train for the double the hours anyone else was, and establish himself as one of the greats. Big respect to mark’s dad. RIP

    It's interesting how he plays almost perfect positional shots until the 12th Black, which he overruns. Then a few shots trying to get back in to position before potting the tricky final red. You can almost see the nerves getting to him, then he tries to stay calm as he gets towards the end of the break. Well done Mark!
