Original post on mastodon.me.uk

I really, really enjoyed this week's #WelshOpen #Snooker championship. Some absolutely incredible snooker.
The only thing I don't understand is why the BBC only showed it on #iplayer.
Nothing against #TNTSports, whose coverage I do watch, but BBC's is understandably a step up.
Well done to […]

Buena vuelta de Lisowski en la segunda sesión pero no le veo ganando 5 frames seguidos tras el descanso #WelshOpen #snooker

If they don’t rerack this frame they’ll still be playing the same frame at midnight…
#WelshOpen

Lisowski is the easiest player in the world to beat*. Just have a three or four shot safety exchange, he'll get bored and take on a ludicrous pot, miss, in you go. #WelshOpen

*Hyperbole but only just

Well. Maybe Jack Lisowski can stage a spectacular comeback, the first two frames in this evening's session have been astoundingly good.

#WelshOpen #Snooker

#Welshopen #Snooker Lisowski v Hawkins well it seems the sponsors have had words - jack out of the blocks in this first frame. They wouldn't want an early finish, would they? 🤔🙄

I've seen Hawkins lose too many times to think he has it in the bag. But surely he can do it this time. Or will Jackpot Lisowski make a comeback with magic #snooker like last night? #WelshOpen

#WelshOpen Hawkins v Lisowski Jack struggling now -after the high of last evenings success it was going to be difficult to maintain focus today. Barry has been playing consistently very well which has added to the pressure on his opponent. Hard road back tonight going in 7-1 down, that's for sure

A ver si le va bien el descanso a Lisowski porque mare de deu… #snooker #welshopen

It's not a coincidence the only title Lisowski has won was against Judd. #WelshOpen

#WelshOpen #Final #Snooker Hawkins v Lisowski After fantastic semi-final encounters yesterday this is shaping up to be a great match. Jack looking very dangerous at the moment - Barry will need to keep him off the table asap 😱👌👏

Today I’ll mainly be watching the #WelshOpen #Snooker final on BBC2 Wales &/or BBC RB1. Barry Hawkins & Jack Lisowski are both fine players - &, having met them both, I can also say that they’re both lovely guys. Play starts at 1.00pm. May the best man win.

Partidazo Higgins vs Lisowski… mañana lo siento por Hawkins pero veo a Lisowski con más opciones #snooker #welshopen

Alex Higgins-esque break by Jack Lisowski in the deciding frame to reach the Welsh Open final and win the £150,000 Home Nations bonus.

Kyren Wilson seals Welsh Open victory with decisive trick shot on final black Kyren Wilson produced a moment of brilliance during his match against Liu Hongyu at the Welsh Open, finishing in style with an audacious trick shot on the final black to secure victory and reach a total break of 142. The impressive shot not only demonstrated Wilson’s technical ability but also his confidence under pressure, as it came at a crucial stage of the frame. The final black is often a routine pot for professionals, but Wilson chose a more flamboyant approach, adding flair to an already commanding performance. The match formed part of the Welsh Open, one of the key tournaments on the professional snooker calendar. Wilson’s display highlighted why he remains one of the sport’s top competitors, capable of combining tactical intelligence with creative shot-making. His 142 total showcased strong break-building throughout the frame, reflecting consistency and focus against a determined opponent in Liu Hongyu. The BBC Sport clip captures the decisive moment, offering fans the chance to see the precision and cue control required to execute such a shot at elite level. The crowd responded enthusiastically as Wilson completed the clearance, underlining the entertainment value that high-level snooker can provide. Available to UK users, the video also sits alongside other notable highlights from the tournament, including remarkable scoring feats from fellow competitors. Wilson’s trick shot serves as a reminder that even in a sport defined by precision and discipline, there remains room for creativity and spectacle. His performance at the Welsh Open reinforces his status as a leading figure in the modern game.
