RE: World Snooker Championship 2024
David Gilbert has a beautiful cue action.
In full flow he is a lovely player to watch.
His problem is between the ears. He second guesses himself too much, doubts himself too much and makes the classic mistake of seeing problem over opportunity.
Snooker is a psychological game anyway but he has had a tendency to make life difficult for himself.
Needs to believe in himself more and be kinder to himself at times. Yeah yeah I know, Snooks talking like a true hypocrite .
Hypocrisy is all .

I am reliably informed that the last player who won the World Championship for the first time then went on to win his opening match the following year was Judd Trump who was champion in 2019 and beat Tom Ford in his opening match in 2020.
Luca Brecel joins the likes of Steve Davis, Dennis Taylor and Neil Robertson as one of the players who failed to win their opening match the following year after winning the World Championship for the first time.
The last player to retain the World Championship after winning it for the first time was John Pullman in 1964, but the tournament wasn't held at the Crucible in those days it was held mostly in Burroughes Hall, Norwich.
Wasn't Terry Griffiths a victim of the curse? I think Brecel also said he had been ill as well.
I get the feeling that it does open up the draw a little with Brrecel's exit.

Snooks expertly putting his own curse on Mark Selby .
He trails Joe O'Connor 7-2 .
My predictions ability clearly gone to pot .
Result:
Jak Jones bt Zhang Anda (11) 10-4.
My new prediction is that rain will stop play
