World Snooker Championship 2024

I get the feeling it will be a final to remember for sure

And indeed, for all of us

Win or lose, it gives him a huge rankings boost, which will give him better opportunities next season. I'll be sorry if Milkins drops to #17, but I suspect he would be amazed to have remained so high, given his purple patch last season didn't really last all that long.

I would expect Kyren to win, but Jak has KO'd Bingham, Trump, Si, Zhang and Zhou in the qualifiers, so they can't all be flukes or "the magic of the Crucible".

Kyren starting well taking the 1st 3 frames and leading in the 4th.

Getting very messy for Jones already.

Two in a row for Jones.
What a relief, I was getting worried about a potential whitewash. Next target.
Get to four frames to avoid a record final defeat at The Crucible.

Jak Jones has now got the momentum.

He's got to stop Wilson from getting two frames in a row. And he should be aiming to put a run together himself.

The crowd are behind him, they love an underdog making a comeback.

Huge disappointment regarding commentators.
Mr Magoo (JV) and the showman of shit (Blobby Murphy).
I can barely watch having to listen to my worst favourites in the background.
Huge shame as the snooker is brilliant.

Kyren's lead looks pretty insurmountable, but hopefully Jak can at least make it respectable, and make it to the 4th session.

Ouch.
The frame that got away right at the end of day one of the final. Oh deary me.
Could be so costly for Jak Jones.

The mood in the evening seemed to be about his comeback, and yet he only won the session 5-4. He'll need to win 5-3 or 6-2 this afternoon to keep any momentum going.
