That last frame was very exciting.

One hell of a frame.

So tense.

Maybe one of the best frame ever

[@paddymeboy]

There have been hundreds of frames as good as that, or better - some even in this mediocre champs.

@@paddymeboyu call it mediocre because of the semi final lineup if anything it’s literally the opposite

[@timwingham8952]

This will be seen for a long time to come as a truly classic snooker match. Both Kyren and Jak are to be congratulated on providing incredible entertainment.

[@Teeb2023]

That was a nuclear yip on the pink from Wilson.

[@jamieh5222]

Great final so far

[@williamalberto4284]

Kyren last century was amazing

[@daveboxer8486]

At 10-7 it's game on but at 11-6 I feel jones has lost his opportunity to become champion plus it's the phycological damage at losing that final frame with a big lead and Wilson requiring a snooker but on the other hand this will of put fire into Wilsons blood to win that frame and knowing how deflated jones was to slip 5 behind

[@joshuarhys]

Bollocks

[@joseph1845]

Has anyone ever won a match 12-6 ? well then...

[@ISOLATICN1]

He won 6 to his 4. In the end

Incredible scenes

[@MultiMeetube]

Collier still the real hero

[@sussi-hn5fj]

Brilliant tense frame. Black ball moment was the best 👌

[@andymcneil7085]

We’re so lucky, right now, to be able to watch the best snooker ever in the history of the game being played.

[@phillipcarlroberts4640]

It just seems to me that Jak Jones is rushing his shots and Kyren Wilson is trying to play the best shot he can manage, pretty sure Jak is in between two minds on some of these shots, he needs to compose himself and decide on exactly what he is trying to play...

[@andymcneil7085]

Really was edge of the seat stuff. Bring on day 2 of the final, we could be in for an epic one.

[@roing747]

Such a shame, the comeback was real for a moment, even JV wanted Jak to pot that yellow..

[@sharpvidtube]

Still time, people have won from where Jak is now.

[@user-zz6tb7vy9w]

when these occur I always remember Hendry vs Hallet... Hallet was winning 8-0 and hendry ended up winning the masters final 9-8, its not over until its over but it becomes harder for a comeback yeah

[@BlyatimirPootin]

Would JV stfu once in a while. His support for Jones was so obvious.

[@NightShooter87]

I hope not. He's a strange player, not great at anything, yet he's found his way into a World final. Wilson is a proper player and it's fitting he should win the rest of frames, to show the gulf in class.

[@dylanwyatt-brown3624]

​@@user-zz6tb7vy9w 8-2 down hendry was but yh your point still stands

[@johnashdown6547]

That 17th frame was massive in context of match.

[@user-sz4th4sm5l]

Glückwunsch Wilson 🏆

[@nickwood1330]

I wouldn’t rule out Jak coming back and winning this. If he wins the first mini session today 3-1 then he’s right back in it, and Wilson will be feeling the pressure .. and he can be fragile when that happens.

[@cordularonnpagel]

Die Anspannung ist groß

[@the_80skid]

*That could turn out to be a massive frame for both players... Could've made it 10-7... Now it's a 11-6... That's a decent lead*

[@Keiron-pw6sl]

Big frame for kyron i dont see a comeback now

[@markperryman2311]

Kyren not Kyron🤡

[@Spencerlayne]

Get in ky

[@oscarrichards9640]

Would’ve been nice to see the game before releasing the finals match.. can’t always catch it live :/

[@Dave1507]

you win some, you lose some...

[@Jake-Warwick-147]

Jak missed a trick here. Should have potted the easy yellow to start with and then why go for the double on the black and throw it away. Just play a safety shot. He got so lucky as well he messed up so many safety shots where it ran safe. He’s lost the match now unfortunately.

[@derHeiko470]

Schade Nicht live

[@derrick9635]

Christ jak you deserve nothing loose that frame.

[@FlameFlickers]

Jak would have had a lot more hope had it gone 10-7 rather than 11-6. Kyren was extremely lucky twice at the end of that frame. First when he missed the pink and then when he missed the final black off it's spot. Both times he was very lucky not to leave a pot on.

[@daveboxer8486]

The run of the balls iis aways against the players who are behind

[@dannyH84]

@@daveboxer8486bit like you & ur misus

[@carrauntoohil86]

He was also unlucky when he a bad kick on the red and ran out of position with the balls at his mercy. Swings and roundabouts

[@juchetony1910]

I reckon we'll end up looking back at that black as the deciding factor in KW's win.

[@stevejouniaux9167]

❤

[@vasilisneorun1700]

I think that was a crucial frame that Jak lost...more for psychological reasons..Wilson seem to be the more solid player and he should win this final relative easily

[@pech3617]

kyren got away with one big time there

[@BlyatimirPootin]

He played very well to win it, especially with Jones safety play.

[@pech3617]

@@BlyatimirPootin yeah, but very lucky with how bad some of his pots were not to leave anything, especially the black off the spot and the pink which might be the worst shot of the tournament

[@BlyatimirPootin]

@@pech3617 sure but both players of any snooker match roll the dice, so to speak. It doesn't detract from the fact he's also played well through the tournament and in the final.

Never should of hit that yellow as hard as he did. Ah well we go again today 🤟

[@omegaman6494]

Jak Jones is still well in this as Kyren Wilson will well know.......

[@russouk]

hope jak gets back some of gameplay like in bingham match...kyrens getting all the ball run...cmon Jak....cymru am byth

[@stevenmitchell2996]

There have been comebacks but I don't think Jak Jones can win this match I don't care what Hendry and Co say. I think Kyren Wilson is too strong for Jak Jones and he won't let that lead slip too much against Jones that is a big problem for Jones.

[@jensclarberg6419]

If anyone can slip a lead it's Kyren

[@mbucd]

If Jack wins this he could almost be forgiven for spelling his name like that

[@1414yorks]

He has 8 brothers and a sister a poor Welsh family so they couldn't afford the extra c in his Christian name!

[@juchetony1910]

on the other hand, if he wins, they'll save a pound on engraving the trophy, so there's that.

[@Juventinos]

exciting but the level was shit

[@dannyH84]

They been playing for 17 days stupid

[@neiltrevatt]

Wish these commentators stop going on about the crucible being the only place that can create atmosphere and tension all the other crap they keep saying

[@Curcuma50]

Jones n'a pas eu de chance sur les replacement de la blanche.

[@Pjc0869]

Like Phil Taylor said the champions are afraid to lose the other are afraid to win. In my sport I had nerves only in the first rounds so I really don’t understand nerves say in the semis or final why nerves ? Your already a winner in my sport I wasn’t nervous at all in the semis or final guess why I won a lot just natural to me

[@mytmt1613]

Jones said after the semi final he knew he would not get any sleep last night, he mentioned after todays play he is shattered, this lad is not very bright. He could have ensured he at least got a few hours sleep, before the biggest game he is likely to ever play, yet he has probably been up all night drinking a lot of caffeine all day, stupid.

[@Pjc0869]

Sleep I don’t understand playing like the world on your shoulders in a world final I will never understand ok these even 7 times world champions and other world champions say nerves ? I really can’t believe why you have nerves in a final beyond me my nerves always in the last 32 16 ? I didn’t want to fail so semis and finals when I reached no nerves whatsoever why should i have nerves when I’ve reached semis or final I didn’t fail? So nerves not in my mind guess why I won many times

[@dunngyllite7883]

Proof that you don't need big names to have a top notch final.

[@eljay5009]

Jak keeps hitting shots far too hard - even when he just needs the pot. Lad needs to calm down - this final would be much closer if he did……he’s throwing chances away. In the penultimate session and he’s just done it again - just needed pink to win the frame but twatted it and missed.

[@janekptasznik44]

10 - 7 wyglądałoby znacznie lepiej. Szkoda tej żółtej.

[@CEO786]

Kyrens won it, he’s too strong. Jak jones doesn’t have the heart of a Welshman to beat English Kyren.

[@paddymeboy]

It's a mediocre final to a mediocre tournament. You might think tighter pockets would favour the best players but it hasn't worked out that way: there have been more misses, and that increases the influence of luck. These two have basically been the luckiest, not the best.

[@HeWhoDaresEhDel]

Come on kyren kacker charva

[@markhunter9646]

How do you spell - “match - fixing ?”

[@Pjc0869]

These pockets are still massive pathetic

[@jeremyskelton1604]

this years tables are crap. Awful. The rubbers the cloth. Everything. Its partly why its gone the way it has. Get rid of them for next season.

[@flyingwarrior7155]

Ruined a possible great 2 sessions for tomorrow . Now its a 1 horse race instead of a contest . Sad for the sport and for those at the final session tomorrow. 11-6 no contest 10-7 its up for grabs . So im saying its now no contest

[@juchetony1910]

JJ does the same again tomorrow afternoon, it's 14-11 going into the evening. Game on.

[@flyingwarrior7155]

@@juchetony1910 Has to win the next session 5-3 for that to happen and then win the final session 6-2 or better . Which to be fair he can only do that by Wilson falling apart as Jones constantly misses easy shots to put frames away . We would love to see it happen and he would be a fairytale champion. But it's so unlikely as he keeps throwing frames away .

[@ISOLATICN1]

that black was in it turned like mad at the end, what a shit table

[@daveboxer8486]

This has happened all throughout this tournament it seems like the cloth is loose or overly stretched in places causing the balls to turn off which is poor for club tables let alone championship tables

[@sharpvidtube]

I wish it had gone in, but I think the camera moving makes it look like it turned. It was always hitting the jaw. Professional pockets are so tight, first time I saw them, I couldn't believe it. Hope Jak can get it done tomorrow.

[@juchetony1910]

they use Chinese tables these days, and the wooden frames are cheap, unseasoned crap that doesn't hold the weight. To compensate, they bow the middle upwards, which means as the table gets older the run of the balls changes as the wood warps. I'd rather have a reconditioned Edwardian table than some of the crap that passes for brand new.

[@user-zz6tb7vy9w]

this cloth is garbage wtf ? and is it just me or the pockets got smaller ????

[@user-hg4yd2qg5e]

Какой к чертям драматизм? Самый дерьмовый финал после чемпионства Мерфи.

Ngl jones deffo had the short straw like wilson will of been in bed chilling up this morning fresh why jones finished late last night had media after media and interviews then getting back to hotel having to wind down up early for probs more press and practice

[@juchetony1910]

but JJ is mentally the toughest player in the tournament: he can keep his concentrate for many hours after the others tire. Finishes matches looking fresh, a bit of a Red Rum.
