Kelly Fisher vs Kristina Tkach | Winners Round 1 | 2021 US Open Pool Championship

I'm sure as this match develops, Phil, we'll discuss Christina's unique tails. Yeah, we picked it up last night, didn't we? When we saw some backstage of her victory over Kevin Garmond on table two, she beats Kevin nine and five. All you have to do is head for the ball, make a couple of moves with the Q and then suddenly seem to freeze on the shot for what seems like an eternity. I think you counted five seconds, didn't you call it a point? Yes, I will do it. I'll also be telling a little more. I really want to get into this Q action, so of course she's hooked behind the two after the break shot.

Kelly's options. The next shot on the table can always play a push. Hard tool fans will know this. that, but if you are new to the sport, that is a rule you should know and, as I always say, in these circumstances it calls and it is definitely true, the push out is almost a game within a game that is not particularly technical or demanding in terms of execution of the shot, but the thinking behind it, that's the important thing, yes, it took me 20 minutes to explain it to Judd when I spent the day with him, he couldn't understand it, but we soon got there and very hard. teach the push out to someone because every individual player has strengths and weaknesses and there are a lot of mind games in the push out, it's not something you can learn in a day, that's for sure because we'll see Kelly maybe get the short, excel here, Phil, come on the air, well that's a very timely jump shot because, thinking about Judd Trump, if he breaks and he doesn't have a chance and he wants to push, why not push for a jump shot against Judd because he's not used to it? to play jump shots, in fact I don't think he has it in his arsenal, well Kelly Fisher does, but there was no real driver, the cue ball was flying across the table a little too fast, she got away with it hers. a story these two had about how to get here, so the wpba event that was held in Fairfield Iowa, which is in the midwestern United States, ended on Sunday.

They had a two-hour drive to the Des Moines airport, got a plane to Chicago that stopped there, and then flew out Monday morning. from chicago to philadelphia they drove here they got there around three in the afternoon and they had to play just a few hours later all for a group of players phil yeah which was notable they both won we've talked about Christina to catch her win. kevin gamon 9-5

kelly

fisher

won even more convincingly 9-3 over leo ott yeah so

kelly

fisher

's safety shot went wrong this hits christina and it's an easy pop and the two balls well it went wrong , she was trying to hold position to play the two against the purple five, so it's a nervous shot from Christina.

I'm sure she's thinking about her recent loss to Kelly Fisher in the WPBA event. There is that exaggerated pause. Yeah, the Iowa loss really drove Christina crazy because it was a double. elimination like this and had beaten Kelly 8-6 to reach the final, but then Fischer bounced back on the losing side by beating April Larson, which set up the rematch and in the final Kelly prevailed 10-1 without barely committing a single mistake. she played according to christina she turned golden kelly had none of that she didn't want to go for the pot I think there was no position for the three and where the turtle five is it looks a little awkward for a pot combination so We'll see how that plays out and these titles that we're looking at now, going back to Judd Trump, who played before the checkers, this is when he goes up against a proto-tool player, this is where I think we're going. see judd maybe fight, it will be convincing for the viewers, kelly brings out the jumping cue again, i'm sure these ladies have played many matches and have beaten each other many times, they will both know how important the start is, kelly will try pop the purple.

Five over the corner just didn't turn off the bluetooth was it going to end? It is not too bad. Christina has a good opportunity here. Can she line up the white ball and place it behind the red three? She just depends on where she is. two goes, he doesn't want to get in the jaw in the middle, yeah, job well done, Kelly's in trouble, he won't jump this one, Phil, that white ball is too close to the red one, three, what a career he's had in two women's sports . world champion in snooker and in fact women's world champion in snooker then came to the states now what is that illegal contact martial eckhart there was no foul called something that was close yes at first glance it seemed fine to me my young phil obviously You're touching Phil a little bit, so we'll let you go with that one, yeah, your younger eyes, well she actually got her way now Christina's going to jump in line, it's the first shelf and it's all happening, yeah, what's going on here?

He's both players when the Hulk saves and jumpers both get away with it in a minute no one leaves a really easy chance. It's fair to say that Christina has had the easiest opportunity so far, as we see another safety trying to use the eight ball and myself. Don't think it's a shame that Christina is going to kick from the side railing and it's a big ball. There is a chance you could fit this in the lower right pocket. She was close. You could see that it was very close to the pocket. she got her way with another one we have a saying in the tool it's worth hitting that means when your opponent has you on a hook the number one safe rule is to just hit the ball and that's what Christina did this is a little cheeky shot he's trying was It was never easy that the point of that pocket always came into play a little bit.

I don't think she left the titan angle, although she may have to deflect it a bit, but especially that's not really the problem. The problem here is yes. she deflects it and throws the two white balls towards the nine ball which is not good for the three so there is a little problem here, yes she played it with a far left English spin and that turns the two balls towards the pocket, so he cheated a little. But this was always going to be the key ball in the rack, so she needs to play a good safety here.

I can't tell you about table two. When we're there for a brief look at the action, we saw Shane Van get narrowly burned. could not complete a combination shot to go two to zero ahead, well now svb and sharik saeed are locked together in two racks, each of which is interesting at the beginning of the arena, kelly fisher has the hand to make balls and all the balls are very pretty, so it seems that she was going to steal this first round both players have had chances, yes, she returned to her chair, there she got the necessary equipment all the time, time was running out, in the end they started the beeps and it really got under his skin, he was quick to shoot and that. should lead to the loss of the rack there really is a wonderful atmosphere here on the second day 33 tables in action and this is where the event really starts to unfold the players are starting to ruin the losing side the important thing is to get to the 16 elimination finals simple all the matches and the round of 16 will be played in the arena which is the goal of the first half of this tournament, yes Kelly it sure was a pretty long rack, lots of twists and turns, a lot of shots in suspension at the end. it was the white ball on the mat that cost Christina to catch Kelly Fisher wins the first match, I can tell you about the good player from the Philippines Warren Kianko just completed a victory over Justin Espinoza from right here in the good old United States 9-7 moritz neuhauser from germany really think about a junior player who won 9-7 against anthony maglino is still there neil svein fighting kenshiro saki from the japan final leading 7-5 radislava beacher a veteran player from poland who has produced very good results in on the international stage over the years he has eight sevens, behind Jason of South Africa and Blaine Vargas of the USA.

He has eight sixes over Masato Yoshioka, who represented Japan in this year's world cup. Oh, it's going to be a trip, not the best of splits, I think Marcel. He's not wrapping the balls too, but he needs to be a little more careful. Even though we're using the template, there's still a certain way you have to place the balls on the template to make sure they're all touching and as long as the referee should the rainbow fly into that corner pocket? I read something about Christina to catch him this afternoon when she was researching for the match.

She is now 22 years old but she has been playing competitively for more than half of her life. How about this call when she? she was nine years old, she took third place in the Russian under 18

championship

at the age of nine, that's incredible, so she is no stranger to big matches and is involved in big matches, she lost the white ball there, although she didn't burst the only ball that came in a little too thin and that's close to the canada green six ball q, so you'll have to play it safe here, the five time US Open champion, is in action on table two which is can see on the YouTube channel platform, yes, and Shane Van Boning just took a 3-2 lead, he is expected to pull away from his Singapore opponent, but you never know if you don't know that next in This table is another five-time US Open champion, the incomparable Earl Strickland, with whom you have had a few clashes.

Earl over the years, Carl, yeah, we're 60 now, Strickland, so it's going to be an interesting watch and I'm glad they took out the TV table, Phil, because we don't know how long Strickland will be playing. a high level and I'm sure the crowd will be packed to see Earl the Pearl, what he has achieved in the game, he deserves to be center stage. I absolutely support that decision. We like to see the golden old men and we like it. To see good jump shots like that wonderful jump shot, rapid fire, Fisher and we're going up a little bit, we jumped with two balls, just the spin that took that ball to the pocket because we've seen them hang now a little 4.25 inches .

These pockets get a little smaller as the years go by and that was a surprise, there is a bit of noise coming from somewhere, I don't know if there is a coincidence coming or if someone has had too many babies, it could be both, I was going to say could it be you it's definitely not me I've been a good boy so far oh it's definitely not me extension please just feel like this is an important rap for Christina tonight so at the beginning of the match it's hard she's chewing on the railing she's beautiful by the way the bigger the shot it seems to me the longer the legs are on it and personally I think and I don't know if you agree carl sometimes the pause is too long yes I agree and you should see Christina.

He touches the table with his tail, that's a

pool

player's way of saying sorry, but deep down he should be sitting in a chair, happy to have gone there, don't be fooled, it's okay, he has a lot of work to do. front, it is not easy to hit this ball, what is its extension. Here she goes out of three lanes, the reason why she doesn't go out of one lane directly into all three, because if you hit it that way, the safety percentage is much lower than three because she goes out of this third lane, so that's the lane. where the green six hits and completely screws it up, it could push three into well, I think ball seven, round seven, just got pushed into turtle five, which makes this ending a little bit harder to what would have been just getting the impression, both players know that the start of this match is big, they can relax, of course that will mean that the winner of this match has won two matches, so they are deliberately trying to leave an angle putting this four pink so I can knock out the five, maybe her.

She was trying to land straight because maybe the purple five goes on the opposite side near the green six. Let's see what he's going to do here. Yes, she really didn't have the right angle, but she has dislodged him. She will have to play well. here, yes, it is a wonderful shot, she got a good safe five ball and attracted the white ball behind the brown seven, so she kicked this ball again. It's a really disjointed start to this match, the second shelf goes like the first, this is vital. Kelly just make sure you hit the ball, it's very difficult to achieve this.

She will depend on luck, but if you miss the ball like on that shot, you will raise your hand and she will most likely lose this stand now because Christina can put that perfect white ball where she wants to position herself in the six other of the ladies who play in this event april larson from usa she is leading stephen foley from canada 3-0 so its a healthy start stevens is a talented player so he has his work done there, yes he beat shane van boning a few years ago in the world 10 ball

championship

. He is a Brit, actually born and raised in London.

He moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, a little over a decade ago. He has a really nice

pool

room. in town and is a real Niels Fire enthusiast, he is also playing in the first round of

winners

. Actually, he's leading that partyeight to six, so they broke a small lead, but the match will be very close. That Mario, he'll go undercover, Phil, won't he? He talked about Mario the Austrian, he is winning 8-6 and no one is leading in this match, it is 1-1 to reach the tie, yes, a lot of things are happening, right? You are right about mario, he with his big occasion temperament, won the world cup in association with alvin autism twice i have the impression that he could go very deep and what about this shane van boning 4-3 on the side and Does the Singaporean have a very good chance of equalizing by taking the number eight rap he just played?

It's an absolute surprise, although he's hooked himself behind the nine, but we could be seeing a little battle breaking out there, we'll keep you posted, of course, you can watch all that space via the YouTube channel. I'm sure some views sbb has a huge fan base, five time champion. of this event, he is looking to break history and win it for the sixth time, the only other man who has won it five times, is the big one, the whole tall strickland, he is coming up to the table one after kelly and christina, he can't wait. in fact, oh but that wasn't gold, that was rust, look a gift for having a golden opportunity, like I said when we got to this table, now it's the boning of the truck will almost certainly extend its lead, we'll keep it on display divided until the svp leaves.

Back to the Front One thing you have to say about Van Burning's achievement in winning his five US Opens. He did it over a nine-year period, while Earl Strickland did it over a 16-year period. Yeah, I think what Shane did there is probably the best thing. achievement even because you know sometimes you need a little bit of a female gaze, but I played in most of those events. What he does so well is punish his opponents when they make mistakes. He knows this is a big disaster. He is very far from that. Singapore to Atlantic City and after playing that terrible positional shot and her subsequent failed escape from pool, it was a long walk back to her chair for Shariq Syed which could be very costly from there, the burning van could strangle her, so this is cancelled. the brake shot Christina had a shot on a ball and this is where she is she.

She has this long red three in the top corner. Would have liked the keyboard to run a little more, that would have made the next shot very obvious, but it should be fine, it caused too many problems, most of the matches we have seen so far fell on the table, one of them quite fast, there were no big score lines, this one was shaping up to be much closer, although yeah you definitely get that feeling from the way for fans of Neil's fine, of which there is a lot of good news, he has beaten Kenshiro Saki of Japan 9-6, Moscone Cap's multiple MVP, yes, the US Open is practically the only title that has eluded him.

Neil's fire won most of the other events he didn't. Lots of fun over the years at the US Open, so I would expect that each year Christina would need three more balls to take the lead. She is a very good potter of the ball. Christina really doesn't miss many pots. It is definitely one of her strong points. Still just watching her head, no movement that will always bode well, so this simple night will be two, one playing catch up because Christina has taken a 2-1 lead, now let's enter the arena where Michael is going to give something. news yeah don't worry carl I'll do your job for you right behind me shane van boning is now ahead 5-3 against sharik saheed 5-3 another table somewhere else justin martin ate it all against b.j usury and I hear it's getting pretty tasty wow, that's interesting.

This afternoon I was looking at some pictures on the internet of Bj Usury playing in some tournament or another when he was wearing headphones pretty close to the size of the headphones we're using right now. You know what that was about getting a little tasty? You mean there's a little bit of aggression there? Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on, but thanks to Michael for doing my job for a minute while I sit alongside expert royalty, that's you of course, Phil. thanks by frank christina takashi is leading 2-1 and we're balancing that suspended animation at the break like she's up for it in the balls yeah this is going to work well i thought it was going to work well just in the last movie.

I mean she's hooked on a pool player's worst nightmare. I think they have a chance and suddenly the last ball comes and rolls into this nuclear bomb. One of Christina's big moments was winning the 2017 World Tour Association World Junior Nine-Ball Championship on a Moscow native, well she went for the jump and it didn't really pay any dividends, yeah she could have played a push, chosen to play an all-out attack, it's all down to personal preference, now Kelly has a chance to steal this rack and tie it. Upstairs, you just know this match is going to be nine, seven, nine, eight, we haven't seen much of that yet, oh that's a mistake, if ball three passes the eight, it may not be the end of the world in What direction are they both going? to stay on top of the pocket and there you can see that he doesn't make a big mistake by kelly fisher while contemplating two more results bj usury has defeated justin martin at 9 8 in a true thriller and for me a shock alan rolon rosado from Puerto Rico has defeated thomas kaplan from poland 9-7 yes, we haven't seen many shots, actually there is only omar al shaheen, the world finalist from a few weeks ago, he is in the losers section, so we have all swallowed it as a bit of a shot, but Mark my words tomorrow and the day after tomorrow there will be all kinds of champions and legends who will move to the left side of the draw, so now there are only two matches left in this round to complete.

Shane Van Burning is on the two and one table we're looking at right now please place the spread thank you that's actually a very good shot because he didn't have much room to place the cue ball on the table so he did well keeping both balls on the table, but he left the pot for Kelly, we're seeing so many gem shots, yeah, there's probably been about eight jump shots and, uh, I'm not sure if you know this Phil, but a lot of the Top pros for years have always said they would love a rule where you can only play one jump shot per game.

Did you know I didn't know that but now I know? Does it affect the table? Does it damage the table? Not really, I mean, you know the players, I mean, it could work. If you're playing the jump shot, you can tear the cloth, but you know at this level they're not going to send that cue across the table, but I think a lot of the best pool players like the art of the safety aspect and credit kicks and shots and in modern history q manufacturers have made the jump cue so easy that the cue ball just flies in the air and practically guarantees a hit, which is why we say a jump shot by match is because then you would have to think about when you are going to play the jump shot and you could almost do it if I know my opponents played their only jump shot and I didn't, I could shoot an easy jump shot and they have a kick and stuff like that, but would add a different element, but maybe we'll leave it for another day, thinking so much about a nine-volt pool that would create even more, by the way, you don't have to be a novice to tear the cloth playing a shot happened at the crucible theater and the evildoer was the former champion there peter eden they had to hastily recover the table well i never knew she is kicking from the back rail she played it wonderful she would love this to slow down a bit she has to be happy with that it was about the cue ball that was played on purpose, I'm not so sure if you can see enough of this purple five to pocket it, that's why he actually brought the junk cue to this side of the table.

Plus, that's because there's a shot clock running. She's just playing this with a little left turn. She needs to hurry up enough to give Christina a chance to gain a two-space lead in this match. svb. She's at table two. She's leading 16. That match, so she separated herself a little bit, right, Phil, we've been talking about Christina's q action. I think now is the time to tell this pause. Take a look at this one, two, three, four, five, five seconds. It's pretty amazing that Christina caught it. She looks good here trying to avenge that loss in Iowa just a couple of days ago.

She leads Kelly Fisher three spots to one. It's been pretty slow so far. Welcome back to Harrah's Resort in Atlantic City. It's the second day of six at the biggest pool tournament. on the calendar in terms of prestige and in terms of the competitors involved, 256 when we started yesterday morning, slowly but surely they are decreasing and the field is narrowing until we have two finalists here on Saturday, so far we have seen four big ones. names three big names in the group mayukio jason shaw and dennis acollo comfortably placed themselves at the main table of the match a huge name in the world of snooker jet trump also beat 9-2 a little earlier tonight in this match through a All-female clash between Christina To Cache and Kelly Fisher has the makings of a marathon and one that could go all the way, yeah, let's take a look at this brake shot, see how her feet are very square, that's how it looks for when he plays and that's what he is. causing her lack of power, however, she is working great, she has a chance on this ball and this is a very good opportunity to gain a healthy advantage.

Now this is the key shot coming up. She also needs a good angle on the blue after tracing. this shot now this is what will make this stand a lot easier it's about where you can get this cue ball that's not bad you've done a good job you weren't too worried about the distance because you knew it was all about the key to the angle. The shot here is the rate at which these two balls enter the pocket. It was all Phil flavor, wasn't it? He just shaved that jaw nearby and refused to sag. I liked it when you counted when she was down on the shot, counting the pause.

I think you should do that more often, Carl, maybe you should audition to be the talking clock. Is there anyone out there who wants to? I don't think it exists now. SVB64. This is a big rat. Two balls left are practically guaranteed. There is. it's going to be seven four kelly had to go really fast she needs this to bounce she needs this to bounce he just got there she's been using the rest it's not really a problem for kelly to be the next pool player yeah so shane van burning get two is far from victory and a third round meeting with moritz neuhausen of germany, yes, and i will tell you what he practices with joshua fuller, he is a class act, he is only 18 19 years old.

She is going to be a future world champion. boy, you might even be 17, after rechecking, I'm sure you have that written down somewhere, Phil Stato, you're fine one ago. I will say that I was actually surprised that since Joshua practices with Moritz, they weren't. together for the fall job because it would have been a dynamic partnership, but you can't really complain because with christoph rogers they ended up winning anyway at the expense of two old gb appleton boys, well one, oh man yeah. It was the two ball that allowed Kelly Fisher to get into this rack and she's going to win this rack, that's why we want a tie to pocket this same reason it's three twos and that's a possible turning point when the Players sometimes miss a ball like that.

It costs them deer and then they spend a lot of time sitting in their chairs. It was very important for Kelly Fisher to win that rack and assert herself in this match. Now there is only one rack in the center of the stage. What wonderful sand we have. We have a good crowd both days, obviously we start at 10am. m. here in the United States and it's a different type of arena, we have high tables and chairs a little bit apart, yes, and there are currently a lot of games being played on one side. lost side of the draw and a couple of players are involved in those matches april larson now 4-3 up on steven folen jennifer well known on the atlantic side she is 5-1 down against michael schneider of switzerland yes i'm just im gonna talk on the sand for a minute.

Each segment has 33 tables. Each segment is actually divided, so you can literally walk anywhere in this arena and get a view of any table, any match, any player that you want to watch, there are types of channels. running in and out of tables like lanes so you can get a ticket, come here and watch basically anyone you want. Kelly has a quick step now that she knows this is a good opportunity to tie the match so I'm probably going to play this with a little bit of law and English just to square this cue ball nice three ball bag in the middle yeah okay , it's perfect that cv kelly fisher won the women's version of the us

open

in 2008 women's world nine ball champion originally in 2012 and much more recently a couple of years ago she won events like the cupamway the international tournament of champions the china

open

whatever your name is it's probably engraved on some trophy somewhere you need this cue ball to keep traveling it might be a hair short don't do it if you can pull this cue ball back and play the eight at the bottom left, if you can't, you will stun the cue ball and then play at the top right went wrong, you thought you could have done it. he missed the 9.

That's unusual because he hit the 9v half ball. That's pretty unusual when a player feels like she might miss the ball if something hits her thinly, she'll play on the bench, although, oh, she's traveled, that's horrible to see. It can happen every time you go towards the bank, she can end up traveling to the opposite side, that's a heartbreak for Christina to catch, she didn't straighten up? That's the black eight ball and it's gone and now after Christina caught it she had a chance to maybe go four one ahead she missed both balls right now it's all level at 3-3 how fast that can change a game we have seen in the last moments, without a doubt, she has more experience, Kelly Fisher, in a wide variety of sports. but she will know that Christina to Catch is more than capable of winning tonight.

This is one of those games that you wouldn't want to call. I think you have to say Kelly Fisher is the favorite, but only by a smear margin, by the way, a third. Lady Player is currently in action out there Sakura.marumatsu of Japan following Rayed Shabab of the United States one to zero USA Moscone Cubs captain jeremy jones in action also played two, one, one, lost one and is currently one against Bill Meacham, so again, another positional shot that she's not entirely happy with. a little dazed that ball got the cue ball running to six she's doing this if she's doing yeah okay well we suspect Christina's two missed balls to catch early on rack five could be a turning point, so is how I was looking, although Fischer's last positional shot left a lot to be desired, being so close to the sideline with the cue ball meant that his positional options were somewhat limited, but he should be fine, well, he won the initial grid, what?

Kelly fisher when the cue ball found the mat after christina caught kelly misjudged the jump shot after that to catch look like the best player for a while but kelly fischer is back in front at 4-3 in the city ​​famous for the boardwalk empire, someone is trying to be the emperor of the Uso is crowned one of the most coveted champions in the world out of the group, it's still early, only the second day, although this tournament is taking shape and provides so much drama currently at the top table, we're watching to see if Kelly Fisher can kick. in she was 3-1 behind against christina to catch now 4-3 ahead though news from table 2 shane van boned he's 8-5 up sharik syed yeah she said phil on table two is eight five for svb but There's a bit of a battle for safety going on there, so if Sherry can win that rack and it becomes eight sixes, that's very interesting, eight sixes in a race to nine in group one, I'm not saying it's hill, hill, but it's got that kind of eight, seven, eight.

Seven and a half I feel like it's very easy for a tool player to rattle off three racks so I'll keep you posted on that, well that's what Kelly Fisher has done here and it looks like it will be four after that Christina to spot the error without contact. did on the one, yeah, he's been a little less lucky, Christina, he had three, one up, Kelly played a bad positional shot, he fluted the eight ball, he's not lucky with the eight ball, I mean, four, one, Christina, so she's been a little lucky. Yes, very true, but remember to catch, I missed the two from before on that rack on the railing, that's a good point Phil, I forgot, I'll give it to you, no, you're right, Fischer's hat trick was extremely lucky, it was It's about everything.

The opportunity pool can be a pretty cutthroat game at times so if you get an opportunity you have to take advantage of it and that's why you see Kelly, she's really focused, she knows how important this rack is and this is a tough shot. what are you going to do. try to kill him no she's drawing on this it looks good well let me see say she does it on the table she's got these two balls and she's going back to 86. Kelly missed the sixth ball big chance god that's a good shot by Sherry, so she has nine. ball and you will have eight sixes, a shame, but of course the winner breaks more than capable of running three racks, mister murdered, yes, he won the van with racks, he didn't cross the line, but he's starting to feel a little heat below the collar, yeah, Christine just missed a poor shot, that's big, she knows how big she is and Kelly Fisher pounced, so five three ahead, basically capitalizing on her opponents, unusual mistakes, she's normally reliable , reliable and really focused on catching and yet she has made a couple of mistakes here which are totally unusual, they only appear at the bottom of the screen, the latest results, many of these on the losing side of the draw, not all They get to the point where we will certainly see a lot of big names first thing tomorrow morning.

Matchups Carl, you have been to the Uso final, would you say it is one of the most mentally and physically exhausting tournaments? I think you'd have to say the Derby City classic with all the different divisions would be the one. where you practically don't sleep, but in terms of the importance of this and what it represents and what is at stake, it is the most mentally exhausting, I think so in the past, but I think now, where we play the double elimination until the round of 16 at the end. I think it feels a little bit easier if that makes sense because when I got to the double elimination final, you could get really far in the event and then lose one match and still have to win six or seven to even get there.

Close to the possibility of a final now all players in this event 256 players their main goal is to reach the final 16. It's almost split the event in two to get to the final 16 each match will be played in the arena race up to 11. So I feel like even if you get into the losers bracket you can still have a target like Kelly Fisher this is a surprise , she's fine, it's all she can do, maybe she's a little tired, well, again, it has to be said that it's uncharacteristic, it really was. a terrible mistake and that has been the story of the match, none of the players come close to her optimal form.

Christina needs to just do this and try to leave the space between the red three and round seven and this went wrong, hopefully it held long enough. so she can pop the button extension too please Marcel I caught it there. The referee didn't listen the first time that it's a catch. I wanted the extension. If she pops this ball, she must avoid the three balls in a line in the center of the table. She catches. one of them could go wrong and it did go wrong she's hooked behind the seven nothing is going right at the moment for Christina so she misses a ball completely she wasn't kicking and if you do that you'll be out Very quickly now Shane Van Boning can apply the final touch on table two.

He's been pushed harder than most people imagined. He would be very relieved to have this one under lock and key. Well, it wasn't the best positional shot from him. I'm not. saying it was easy because the cue ball always ran towards the eight, he could have been trying to flip the eight, so this is skinny, well he staggered and took a wall and landed on what we call the 50 yard line. Kelly always got these two remaining balls to take a healthy 6-3 lead. svb has it tough now we see they missed this is for the match, although kelly fisher doubled christina to catch at 6-3 shane van boning advances to play moritz 9000 in the next round, so s v b okay, finally there will be simultaneous drama , I'll tell you what, even though Christina catches, she's very competitive, she loves her group dedicated to the sport, she's going to be really disappointed not only with the score line but also with the way it was reached.

She was not shot. However, yeah, things were looking really good, both players seemed a little nervous and Christine looked like she was about to take a good lead and then it didn't happen and from then on Kelly kicked and well, she's gone, she's not doing so well to Christina. so this is important now, Christina, you feel like she needs to win the next rack. Kelly will tear up the way we were talking about the lack of surprises. One of them was the fact that Woo Conlin, who won the Las Vegas Open a couple of weeks ago was sent to the losing side of the draw, he is trying to make amends and right now at table 32 he is three one up by Kevin West, the Chinese Taipei man worked that ball well in this case, the open shot for five. on the one two looks good too ken fisher running extends the lead this shot is all about the cue ball now although the top is quite thin she should be fine the keyboard needs to come back over the bridge type of path and there is on the table this other side rail, but the keyboard is going to land on the three, so the positional shot went wrong, both players are not on their game in this match, well, you are very trapped, you are saying that, I mean, I think Christina will catch it. it's probably her game c minus so kelly fisher maybe b minus you're a tough man phil trying to get the cue ball behind the nine and I think she was also trying to push the three touching that side rail and I'm looking down the line of the shot and these three balls go, problem, you will get the four roses.

This is the biggest thing with Pool Phil, obviously, he worked in pool for many, many years, about 70 years, and a lot of pool players think that Judd will just come in, not miss a ball and finish the story, but that's when you have These situations are where the game of pool is all about. She chose to leave it long and play a fine shot. The white ball is controlling to be the most. difficult thing, you should probably try to pop the ball and maybe even just hit the cue ball. He couldn't play with this side, but he could use that brown seven to hold the cue ball.

It's important that he just threw the ball there. Sometimes you can. scratches in the top right and then there is another lost ball from Christina, she urgently needs to cover, it would be provided by the seven ball. I think that's one of the similarities between snooker and snooker when you're on an outside table, there's less pressure and right now. The pressure from the main arena is coming to catch who can't cover behind the seven, but yeah, it was a bad shot. He could have landed anywhere in the middle of the table to one behind the eight.

Well, we have to drown. that was a bad mistake, that is the jump queue in our hands, the 6th ball is quite close to the corner, so at the top level the top jump players would make this bounce, I have to keep an eye on the scraps at the top top right, she missed the boat, her mistake after mistake after mistake then you say but I'm harsh oh, it's okay for you to say things like that, but I'm just taking a leaf from your book, phil, yeah, and it was a little awkward for me, I could have gone anywhere. and he often does it when you're struggling, I think she can just put the natural angles, there's actually an extension please, Christina needs a catalyst, something to put it right here and then all things could change, certainly, not all is lost yet. don't hit that side, that's good, so she'll buy a lot of time in this match.

She was 3-1 up, but it will be 6-4 and she is still in this match, don't go wrong without shining like him. Grinch, you know it's not the highest quality match we've seen so far, lots of mistakes from both players, but it's building up and could very well be dramatic towards the end. Kelly Fisher's lead was cut to 6-4 with one more match in this one. The round is about to be completed and it's the one we're looking at right now Kelly Fisher six four up on Christmas, of course with the winner's breaks, it's to catch and get things going in Rocky 11.

Yeah, and she's been breaking Well when she was at the table she's been having some drinks after the break, well there's the break and now it's time to go in and listen to Shane's thoughts burn after his hard training in this round, Shane two wins in two happy, I feel a little I shook in my last match, but my opponent made a couple of mistakes, so I took advantage of the fact that his mistake was much more difficult than you expected, yes, a little, I didn't feel really comfortable today, but I have to regroup for tomorrow and that's the main thing is that you've won your matches, you can regroup now and take a break, yeah, you know, I just have to regroup and stay confident and do everything I can.

How much does this trophy, this title mean to you? I want to win, she wants to open so badly, you know what, Shane? It was a pleasure to see all those fans lining up for photos and autographs. I mean, you are loved here. Yes, I mean,um you know one of the best American players and uh you know that I. It's good to see that there are a lot of them, so it made you feel good, although just seeing so many queuing up just to take a photo with you, yeah, I mean, I really love the tournament, uh, it opens us up, it's always been the best tournament, Yes, Shane. rest, congratulations, thank you.

Shane Van Burning is very modest and he says I'm one of the best American players. He is the best American player and still holds that status without a doubt. Yes, and he could very well be the best American player in history. the whole time is obviously to debate people's opinions, but he's definitely into that topic of conversation, that's a good safety shot. Christina will have to kick this one. There is no jump shot available because she jumps on that nine while the green six is ​​in the way, so she kicks. she will do and it has to be good.

She needs to come off the side rail just before the center pocket and ideally needs to hit it completely. She also needs a little luck here. The main thing is to hit the ball well. good pace, it was there, you see she hit the mark to the max and overall you must be very happy with the result of the extension please with only three seconds left on the clock I think it is wise of Fischer to take the extension that these players do not do. I want to do it too soon if you can help it, but sometimes it's unavoidable and I think that was one of those cases where she hadn't decided that she didn't want to rush the shot and that's why she chose to do it. take the extra 30 seconds yeah she did a good job there she was just trying to get the cue ball on the bottom bar and hopefully use the nine and the turtle five as a blocker so even though she doesn't have hulk right , there is a little. away great news for the women's contingent here april larsen has beaten stephen fallen the extension police find nine racks to five so well done for april who hasn't decided which shot to play has been looking at this one for a few seconds well, it's gone for the thin cup, she missed it and the cue ball needs to hit the six.

Well he did it with the six but he still left a pot for Kelly Fisher. A skinny one, now he can hold the cue ball with his left and English to stay on the two, he will if he can't, he could use that seven brown to hold the cue ball, this is the problem you need for both, yes, you are playing. That way, obviously I didn't mean to do it, yes, I needed strong contact and her with both of us, that's all while she just brushed against him and asked Marceline if she had used the extension of her, of course she had. .

I think that's an indication of how Confusing you can stay, yes there is a TV screen at the bottom end of the table, which will tell Kelly, but I wish she would have looked and maybe couldn't see it, so he just asked the referee, okay again, it's safe, but Christina can. Look at the left side of this too, this is where the creme de la creme players always put you in jail, they always make these shots, when you get to the table you're hooked trying to use the brown seven and then you see again . Is there an advantage there?

If not, it's an easy kick from the side rail. It's the type of kick that pool players like because you can send both of them down the table and as long as you're on the right side of these two, the cue ball will go. into the top lane, well, it's not how he played it, that's for sure, but he has a bit of fortune there. Christina wastes no time, she pulls out the q shorts, she's going to fly, it's just what she's wearing on the tip of that jumping cleat in this match. She played so many shots, countless jump shots, it's just been one of her games, every time they were taken out of a snowy path, there was a jump shot, both players seem to get away with it, both balls landed on that green. sticks so he doesn't miss kelly has to make another good safety shot just choosing to lead the distance wasn't a real pool effort christina there now mate jeremy jones in the comment box this afternoon great to have him back behind the mic he's taken a 5 -3 lead over Bill Meacham in a game he needs to win to stay involved.

This went wrong. I'm not quite sure what he was trying to play there. Two balls were always going to go to that corner, so Kelly's safety shot. She was worth it, she played perfectly. We have seen many games on the television table being one-sided. This is the first match it's come close and you'll expect it when you see the best players match up. up, don't forget folks, next up is the legend, Earl the Pearl Strickland, 60, where he is now, he's in the losers section, he lost before to Avika Putnik, but it's still a treat when Lil gets fuck with his q together, we can see it.

Well, I'm not happy, but the way the kisses worked out, I think overall you have to say she had the best race ever. Kelly Fisher wins the clash and is now three ahead at 7-4. It really hasn't been a strange match either. player capable of achieving any kind of sustained pace or momentum and because of that, although Fischer looks good just a couple of racks away from victory, I wouldn't rule out Christina to take advantage of her chances when it comes to the women's Euro Tour event, would you? You know? She is already second on the all-time list, she is only 22 years old and yet she has won seven Euro Tour events.

Only one other player has been more successful than Jasmine Aushan, the older sister of Alvin Autismo, who impressed many with her performances in the world. no ball championship at the marshall arena in milton keynes in june and christina to catch also won four european titles which took her to two consecutive ball groups so she has racked up a lot of wins in those 22 years and i wouldn't rule her out. chances still, although it was a wonderful break for Fisher, the only ball just limped towards the point, look where the two ended up, yeah, it didn't matter that the ball fell on purpose because of where these two are and just a good positional shot here these balls broke very well just look where they landed this is just keeping good control of the cue ball and you should be on the hill so I played the drag shot there it just killed the cue ball so she has a good angle on this purple five on the side now that it has underneath it kind of wanted to be lower on the table, so there's a little bit of angle on this cue ball.

I think she will play around the angles and does this. Well, although if the cue ball bounces, yeah, okay, good shots, well, now it's looking pretty good for Kelly Fisher, gotta say it's looking pretty shady for Christina to catch if she's going to pull this one out of the fire, the Russian has to win. the last five racks is because kelly fisher leads eight four a couple of massive events presented by mattrew multisports will take place in the next few months next month in fact, it's the climate cup that great transatlantic 10 fin bowling fight of Europe against the reigning cup holders USA and there you see Kyle Troop who is a great character and a great bowler, I'm really looking forward to him being in Leicester at the Morningside Arena in the middle of next month and then In the world of billiards, there is no greater emotion than watching the renewal of the European Moscone Cup.

They are the champions and the vice-captain is sitting on my right side. Carl Boyz. The Moscone Cup like no other event is everything, it's alley, friend, the crowd will return. well this is a very useful break from kelly just what you need when you're on the hill this is a chance to win the match yes in the early days of the Moscone cup of course player Carl Fisher was involved she played for Europe, that was Alison Fisher, she was a pleasure to have. allison with us in the comments from a couple of tournaments earlier this year it's great to see her again also this car but I'll say it again what are the chances women's snooker world champions mandy fisher alison fisher kelly fisher same last name all unrelated yes Well, that's just strange.

I can't imagine that, as I watch any other sport in the world, two ball goals in the heart of the pocket. Now this is the key shot coming up. Will you try to leave him behind these four and play a combination? to seven, if she does that, you want to be as close as possible to that pink four and as straight as possible or she will draw this table down, she has played a bomb and that's pretty good, I think this combination can be done. The hardest part of this shot is making sure you have a chance afterwards.

Oh, it worked well. It was a lovely angle just to hold these four towards you in the corner pocket and this looks pretty shady for Christina to catch. these three balls, yes, it is difficult to imagine that the Muscovite is not going to be sent to the lost side of the draw. Yes, it was experience in this match that told 43-year-old Kelly Fisher that she will score another victory over a young Christina. to catch Kelly in this women's battle, I have no doubt that Kelly Fisher had the roles there, she was luckier than her opponent, but I think Christina Decatch would be the first to agree that she contributed to her own bane for me.

The turning point was the fifth rack attack three one ahead she missed both balls after Fischer took control she wins by nine racks to four
