Good job Robbie. 👍 Go go go for the finals.

[@raskolnjikov1]

As predicted, slowpokes like Kaci are out, but Filler choking and missing so much really surprised me, looked solid as a rock

[@user-lt4pw7rv2l]

Snooker players miss. Pool players don’t miss. Don’t destroy the integrity of the game- and the basis of creativity- by making players miss 15 times instead of one or two a race. God that sucks.

[@huyvuquang9074]

matchroom will be matchroom...

[@tonicogsf]

Are you talking about the pocket size?

[@MrAntonnio96]

Pool is the most intense game you can play

[@user-lt4pw7rv2l]

I played on a tight pocket table for years- l loved it more than anything. I played top players in their homes- always tight pockets. I never ran into tight pocket tables that played as bad as the last few Matchroom tournaments. Whatever the formula was 40 years ago- the magic sauce that existed then is not being replicated in present tournament tables. Tight pocket tables should sharpen play- not destroy it.

[@PostUp_Time]

how a table plays, consists of more science than just pocket size.

[@Sargo197]

Tables should always be tight like this. Better for fans knowing any shot can be missed even by the best in the world. More exciting to watch.

[@zodub23]

Couldn’t disagree with you more, but to each his/her own of course-no disrespect. EVERYONE is capable of missing and if one is realistic enough, he or she knows that. If I personally want to see more timid play and more misses though, I’d just watch the APA or neighborhood league matches. Pool is turning into snooker

[@Xombologna]

Hard pass on this take. A huge part of what makes pool exciting is the ability to move the cue ball. The harder conditions really hampers the players ability to move the cue ball around. You keep hearing the commentators say how many “misses” there are on these tight conditions but none of what you’re seeing are legitimate misses. Players have played their entire life on different conditions and have created muscle memory based on those conditions and now you’re seeing those players adapting the best they can to this shitty version of pool which leads to “misses” which is basically players just limit testing how much they can cheat the ball thick on these weird tables and the ball being spat out. It’s a dumb slippery slope that’s basically turning our game into 9 ball on a Russian pyramid table. Gay and mostly unwatchable.

[@Sargo197]

Understand your points. It's just that on easy tables it feels like 9/10 ball is just a game of who gets luckier on the break. Good spread, run out almost for sure at their level. Here I paid attention to every shot. On easy tables I just look at what happens after the break and tune out if a run out is likely.

[@hategamblingsos]

Pool has shot clock. Tight hole is ok but need to give them more time.5 or 10 sec i think is ok

[@rafaelvillamor9702]

Robbie Capito is a monster

[@user-ek8sw8hk9k]

I've never seen that Filler makes so many mistakes before.

[@MarlonAyalavideosmundial]

Muchos errores pero es claro que la Fuerza no es el mejor aliado para jugar billar

[@rafaelvillamor9702]

From 4 inches pocket reduced to 3.9. Thats why there are too many misses in this tournament.

[@martsangalang5781]

Robi"s frequent trips to the Philippines has paid off and clearly the Filipino in his blood is coming out of his game

[@Gmanu29]

So technically hes a Filipino too just playing for a different country like Pagulayan.

[@pinoypooltv]

@@Gmanu29Yes. His parents are both Filipinos

[@ahmadrifan9026]

Robbi capitos from HONGKONG not Pilipinos😃

[@JoemerCaindoy-nu4iq]

​@@ahmadrifan9026 Robi Capito is a full blooded Filipino,

[@pennicles]

​@@ahmadrifan9026He represents HK. But he is a Filipino. Technically Chinese people have small eyes lol

[@user-lt4pw7rv2l]

I also noticed the exchange between Emily & JJ after the matches- how the top players don’t mind the pocket size- l call bullshit. 1) you never bite the hand that feeds. 2) It’s to Filler’s & Fedor’s advantage- as numerically the best players whatever handicaps the whole field works in their favor. Their handicap is below par while the field is par- when conditions are tough, the lower handicap player always has a numerical advantage. Their final weeks ago was a shit show- at the end Filler was genuinely laughing- because not even them both could present themselves as professionals on that equipment.

[@tyarnold4088]

Filler gave him that match. Last rack was a complete gift.

[@Dw-rb5yl]

Choked. Under alot of pressure also those pockets look brutal!

[@boomson3082]

Capito gave him plenty as well. Both shot badly.

[@tyarnold4088]

[@NoctanNights]

​@@boomson3082 How is he coping for Filler? He's obviously not implying he willingly gave it to him

[@jojovelasco8214]

it 's a succesful tournament whatever d outcome is and good for d sport too to have all d semi finalist unexpectedly not coming from d favorites and perennial champions.

[@MmMm-cz7if]

Exactly ... new face

[@user-lt4pw7rv2l]

Comment on the first match. This is why you need to not have snooker pockets. Missing shots is not a part of pool- no pool player ever was considered good if he couldn’t play without 2 or less mistakes in a race. I played on a tight pocket table for 5 years- l played on an American snooker when l had to.

[@user-lt4pw7rv2l]

One reason is that the angle of the pocket rails and the depth of the rail- it’s an incorrect combination. The jaws should open the angle up a few degrees- l swear to god it looks like a Pyramid pocket. This is pool- not snooker- pool players don’t miss shots as a part of the game.

[@rnelcamacho23]

Congratulations robbie Asian like Philippines 🇸🇽 support u👍💯🎇

[@AAAskeet]

Pockets are too tight.I don’t get the fascination.

[@robertbenig301]

Luckily he got his 10% chance to win against that killer monster 😍🥰 wow Filipino pride❤

[@txtmodcarlo]

Luckily? Robbie took the unforce errors of Filler and made it count, I won't take that as luck.

[@user-ek8sw8hk9k]

⁠​⁠@@txtmodcarlo I agree with you, Filler made many mistakes. But considering both player's daily performance, this result is unexpected for most of us. That's why people tend to take that as luck.

[@txtmodcarlo]

@@user-ek8sw8hk9k I'm getting your point, even though Robbie is not one of the top players on WNT. Taking his win to come down to luck is absurd, why can't we just appreciate that this player is improving since he came back from Marboys Pool Hall before this UK open. Defeating Gorst and Filler on the same day I would not call that as luck LOL!

[@user-ek8sw8hk9k]

@@txtmodcarlo I know how you feel, they should't have said something ignoring his daily effort and progress.

Bye bye Filler and Kaci 😂😂😂😂😂😂

23:43 he didn't miss, he got a bad kick there ...

What u mean

[@Dw-rb5yl]

@@MrCFreaks He plays great everytime he plays SVB

I guess you don’t have to have a good looking stroke to be good. If all I could see was his stroke I’d give him a 500 at best.

[@jvasquezito]

What size pockets are these?

[@zodub23]

3.9 inches

[@haydenwalton2766]

​@@zodub23are you joking, or are they really ? they did seem extra tight

[@AAAskeet]

For real

[@rafaelvillamor9702]

You heard it right. Yeah from 4.0 they even reduced it to 3.9. Niels Feijen and Carlo Biado are not really liking it

[@ernestphelps5381]

What tip are they using?

[@rafaelvillamor9702]

Filler and Capito are using Kamui

[@demiro2984]

What a play of both players. Joshua was not in his best rythym he lost by several mistakes. Well...

[@rafaelvillamor9702]

Thats how cruel is the 3.9 inches pockets. The design is really to slowdown the game. And to make pros lookslike Humans.

[@gtronable]

why are there no people there? did they not sell any tix? maybe the uk doesn't like 9 ball?

[@mmmyeah7]

Snooker is the more popular cue sport tbh over here and the world championships has not long finished.

[@user-lt4pw7rv2l]

So you want me to think that 15 misses a game for the best players in the world is the new standard for pool? So you can have close matches and rave about how talented the players are? Most matches just see saw with 2 or three game swings - who said that’s what was great thing missing in pool?

[@zielaq87]

Was there just two QF? :|

When both players have to shoot during the beep all match long, your shot clock is too short. Get it? Pocket size 2 quick shot clock are two of countless things that are so player unfriendly that they literally break the players down- who thought we needed to see that? Awful

Cutting away mid game to the next rack is dumber than have a purple five. Thumbs down and unsubscribing. Match room can eat a phallic item.
