Watching these 2 ladies play is very therapeutic. So nice to just see them and they play well too! I was smiling through the whole video. More ladies please!

[@frankdelar]

Thank you , Cesar

[@kennethbowell4564]

This is my point of view as a man it is great to see a women playing snooker what a pity we don’t see more women in Snooker tournament in the U.K. 👏👏👏

[@corallaroc2946]

Thank you, Cesar. :-) Exciting match with a lot of luck involved. That format, however. I am not really happy with it. 3 frames is already not enough. Then the third "frame" isn't a full one but a repotted black. And this is already the semi final. No reason in my eyes to shorten the matches this much in women Snooker.

[@sdrtcacgnrjrc]

oddly, the final was only one frame

[@cyclopsvision6370]

the matches are shortened because there is no demand for it, look at the prize money, that should prove there is very little demand

[@aladdinsane1220]

Never be good enough 😂

[@micham6855]

Exactly. Best of (almost) 3?? Come on, make it at least best of 9. Imagine the semi final in Crucible with Ronnie and Robertson in format best of almost 3.... And that match... it was great to watch. Girls rules !!

[@graemeloveridge7107]

I enjoyed that. A couple of issues: Two frames and a respotted black for a semi-final is ridiculous for both the fans and the players. Second, the table was clunky, just like a low-level clubroom one. Observations: Reanne doesn't seem to balance herself before she goes down for a shot. And Mink could benefit from a bit of beefing up and some strengthening (and maybe some elevator shoes, LOL)..

Probably would be no point, as it would always be the same outcome as the mens tournaments.

[@korgscrew2000]

@@darz_k. Women are able to join the likes of the Masters of World Champions if they are ranked high enough, but none of them are. It's not a physical sport so it wouldn't make any difference if they had mixed matches apart from skill. Snooker is a male-oriented game for some reason. I'm sure some feminists will have kicked off about this in the past.

[@darz_k.]

@@korgscrew2000 Exactly. Women that have been weaponized through indoctrination, as part of the main global agenda, are the ones that call themselves 'feminist'. If Snooker is a male-oriented game as you mention - that's just reality - pretending otherwise is entertaining illusion.

[@McLKeith]

Wins on a fluke. I can understand why women play less games in tennis. But snooker is not a strenuous sport. But a final should be at least five games.

[@mattthompson4836]

It not due to fitness etc. It's often a TV Airtime issue. The ladies game is growing steadily, but it doesn't yet have a following that warrants the viewing figures for longer matches. And because there are less high-quality professional opponents, the longer matches can take a long time to complete. That's not an insult. These two are great players. But most of the ladies tour are nowhere near the standard of Reanne & Mink (they'd all beat me and all of my friends, though!) All abilities can enter this event, so the standard for the earlier rounds would be far lower than this. Snooker is a tough sport and if the balls don't run right, you can be looking at 1 hour plus per frame. Things will change in the coming years. More competition and higher prize money will mean more women will take up snooker as a profession. That will result in higher viewing figures, high quality matches from round one and, ultimately, longer matches.

[@TheSuzberry]

Agree. They don’t get a chance to get a feel for the environment before it’s over.

[@davidmellish3295]

@@mattthompson4836 are you sure about that ? Surely the sport comes first and the TV stations decide what to broadcast. Is it really down to the TV stations to dictate how many frames in a snooker match? If that is so then it's so wrong,the snooker governing body should decide how many frames in a match. Also how does that explain the fact that women play a lot less frames than men in competitions that aren't on TV?

[@jefferyharper5720]

If women's snooker is less profitable, it's very fair. Supply and demand matter. The idea that two people bringing in vastly different amounts of money deserve the same is ridiculous.

[@jefferyharper5720]

Have any of the women ever won a single match in the men's competitions? Rarely even see them win a frame.

[@Dungthainguyentv]

[@korgscrew2000]

I enjoyed watching this but I was surprised to see that the ladies are more heavy-handed with the cue than male players. I would have thought it would be the other way around and that the ladies would have more finesse with the cue.

[@scottthorpe1557]

Wow Reanne Evan's is such a good player. Shame she didn't pot the pink and black in the last frame, so she could win it outright. Instead of going down to a re-spotted black, which for the record I don't understand that I either. Why don't the women play like the men's games and you have to win it by a frame. I don't get this re-spotted black rule at all.

[@trancelord620]

I don't think the women's game is that good, it's a mix of semi professional women who as of yet haven't been able to play at any standard at the same level as 32/128, but a few wins for one player a invitational event win there's definitely potential

[@spartan.falbion2761]

If they played at a high standard then we would have unisex rather than a women's games. I am speaking from the experience of one who can barely pot a single ball.

Saw the thumbnail and was like WTF - scanned through to find that momment 15:35 and was about to be "Erm this needs to be 1 foot on the floor dont care what gender you are" then she got off and commentator said what I had thought... but, still to actually "lay" on the table with her legs kicking up behind her head - should have been deducted 4 points as a foul and told off by referee. That is bad behaviour... Granted she got off but, should not have laid on it in first place - she knew her feet were never going to reach...

Her left eye must be dominant. Same as Gary Wilson. Can't do anything about it, the center of your preceived eyeline has to be right above the cue.

Why are women separated from men when it comes to player snooker? What 'property' of being a woman means that they cannot compete against men on exactly the same playing field? Sure, at the moment, we might not have the established skill level from women simply because they haven't been involved with the highest level of the game for long enough and we don't have the depth of female talent that men have - but that will change. Can someone explain the problem to me. Thank you.
