A different Christmas story

23:37:00 Ramona Dragomir 0 Comments

Wish you all a snookerish Christmas
What you are about to read is not a typical Christmas story. It's not like I was visited by the tree spirits of Christmas and it didn't even happen on Christmas. But it's a story that has a bit of magic in it and since I believe that Christmas is a magical holiday (yeah, laugh all you want, I know I'm old fashioned), I've decided to share it with all of you.

 It's a bit long, but it’s true and it represents a very important part of my life. Here I go ...

"We need to put that little arm of yours in a cast", said the doctor. It was my right one, my favourite arm. I was 26 and I've never worn a cast before. Although for the first couple of days I felt a bit special, frustration kicked off soon after that. That's how it all started - my passion for snooker.

When I said that my right arm is my favourite one, I was not kidding - I do almost everything with it, sometimes I feel like the left one is just there for balance. It was horrible to know that for the next two weeks I'll have to keep it slow, no sudden moves and no crazy stuff on my computer (if you call typing crazy).
Sometimes the pain was making me unable to even hold a book in my hands and since I'm a very active person, the fact that I couldn't do anything, was killing me.

One day I decided it was time to turn on the telly. I must add that I'm not very fond of it...there's really nothing on...ever! Still, on EuroSport the 2010 World Championship was on. Regardless of the commentators’ views of what was going on on the green baize, I got hooked. I wasn't a complete stranger of snooker, but I do confess I didn't know the rules by heart. Not even the players.
Although I had previous snooker experiences, besides Stephen Hendry none of the names sound familiar to me. I know, weird!

A memorable moment: Davis beating Higgins
That day John Higgins was playing Steve Davis. Though I had the feeling that I've seen Higgins somewhere before, Master Davis was a complete stranger. Tall, a bit old for the game, but with such an elegant attitude towards it - that was my first impression. At the end of the match, everyone was over the moon with the result. Davis won 13-11. Well, maybe not everyone, but I was under the impression some kind of upset was caused by this tall guy.
Steve was absolutely stunned by his victory, while Higgins shook his hand and congratulated him.

Back then I had no idea that I was witnessing a historic moment.

Soon after the match was over I started google-ing Steve Davis, snooker, John Higgins, the World Championship ... with a very un-cooperative left hand. And then it hit me: Steve Davis was a six-time world champion and a snooker icon. I remember feeling pretty stupid. Even know I feel like the most imbecile person ever. I was watching the defending champion taking on a six-time world champion and the only thing in my mind was: "Hm .. .isn't that a strange combination!" Bloody fool!

The BBC website helped me find out more about the players and who won what until that moment. Then, World Snooker website came to give me a helping hand too. Wikipedia, though sometimes unreliable, was there too. I was mesmerized by all that!

That's how it all started (yes, it's my arm!)
After the World Championship was over, I went back to the doctor to remove my cast. I remember when I left it on the bed ... I was somehow sad because it felt like I was leaving behind something that changed my life. Although I wasn't very aware of the fact that I've already been virused by snooker, something in my heart was definitely saying something to me.

Along with the John Higgins scandal and Barry Hearn taking over World Snooker Ltd. a new era was starting for snooker: the Players Tour Championships. I remember that the first one was followed entirely by refreshing Global Snooker webpage every 30 seconds. Mark Williams was the first to grab a PTC title. His name was no longer a mystery for me. I knew the guy very well. My confidence was quite big at the moment.

A month later I found out that the EBSA Championship was going to be held in Bucharest. What a thrill! For the first time I was going to be able to smell live snooker. I remember that the first time I witnessed a match it only took something like five minutes, because I was late. "Never mind" I said to myself, “I shall see the next one and this time I won't be late".

The following day I watched a full match and if I'm not wrong, one of the players was a Romanian guy. Wasn’t too interested in who was playing for the only thing I could think of was "Oh, my Lord! I'm watching live snooker. There's the green baize and those colourful balls in front of me". Childish, but true.

Meeting the Whirlwind
The final day arrived and with it the big exhibition match: Jimmy White was travelling to Bucharest for this occasion. Once again I found myself in the same position as a few weeks before: "Hm...Jimmy White? Who's this guy?". A simple search on Google revealed the heaviness of his name. Once again I felt like an ignorant. But I didn't give up.

I remember staying for the whole final and as the interval kicked off, me and two of my friends going to grab a bite. I shall never forget that moment: me walking along the room and Jimmy coming from the opposite side looking straight at me. I know I suddenly stopped for a few seconds and then when I realised how stupid that was I continued to walk towards him ... and I walked like he was miles away (you know those films, when there are two guys and they walk and walk and walk, everything happening in slow motion). 

The horrible thing is that I couldn't say anything. Not even a babbling and insipid "Hello!". I just walk outside the hotel and started to say to my friends (well, actually scream!) : "I, I, I saw Jimmy White!" And they were something like "Whatever, we are hungry.".

As we returned a few minutes after, Jimmy was passing through the hotel's hall and when I saw him (since my friends didn't have the slightest idea how he looks like), I pointed them by saying "There he is, one more time", but in my own language. The strange thing is that Jimmy turned his head around and started looking at me while the other men he was with were talking to him. And he was looking and I was looking and the only thing I could do was to smile ... at least that's what I think, because he smiled back.

I feel like such a teenager telling you this story. Well, at least I didn't faint right? That would have been worse, not to mention totally embarrassing.

Anyway, that year Luca Brecel was crowned champion and everything finished with a horrible ceremony where the president of the Romanian Snooker Federation talked only in Romanian, although the majority of the people there were foreign.

After such a snooker treat my passion was no longer a secret. I started to study the players, their achievements, their personal lives, everything that was out there. Until, one day it hit me: why not start a blog? Sure they are plenty blogs out there, but this one would be my special way of thanking snooker for coming into my life.

I know, I know...it sounds dull and too artistically, but this sport has truly saved my life. It inspires me every day, it gives me strength to carry on, it lets me write, it has helped unleashed that crazy desire of mine for research, it brings me hope and I truly think I've become a better person because of it.

When I found out that my hand will be put in a cast all I could think of was “Here’s another brilliant thing in my life”, for after finishing a four-year faculty and a master programme I was still unemployed and with no perspective whatsoever. I was feeling miserable, no one was there for me, all my friends had jobs and a life, while I was feeling somehow lost and out of this world.
I had no one to turn to, no one to guide me, no one to inspire me. I was empty and felt like I had no purpose in life.

But with what seemed to be the most horrible news in the world, my life has changed and it has changed for better.
I  have said it many times, for me every snooker match is a lesson of life and I think I'm still playing it for I have so much to learn.

So yes, this is not a story that happened on Christmas time and it's not even related with it, but it does carry some sparkle of magic. Maybe it's just in my head, I don't know ... but for a year and five months snooker has definitely brought a lot of magic into my soul.

I'm sure each and every one of you have a story that maybe it's not an amazing one, but it's very close to your heart and it turned your life upside down in a positive way.
This is mine.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Players Tour Championship Event 11 (2011) - Tom Ford ends year in glory

00:27:00 Ramona Dragomir 0 Comments

Tom Ford - the 2011 PTC 11 champion
Tom Ford beat Martin Gould 4-3 in the final of this year's Players Tour Championship Event 11 to get his first ranking title this season. Ford is no stranger from winning PTC titles, last season winning PTC 3 by whitewashing Jack Lisowski 4-0.

It was back in August 2010, the PTC series was still in an experimental phase when Tom Ford won the third event by kneeling down a very dangerous opponent, Jack Lisowski 4-0. A year and a half later he's back in Sheffield and back on the winning line. Only one thing has changed - the opponent's name.

The Leicestershire man started his PTC 11 journey by hammering David Hogan 4-1 and beating both Ian Burns and Nigel Bond 4-2. His Last 16 spot was now secured so all he had to do was to keep up the good work. And so he did.

Martin Gould - the 2011 PTC 11 runner-up
A perfect 4-0 over China's Yu Delu got him a place in the quarter-finals where he defeated the double PTC winner and current UK Championship champion Judd Trump 4-1. The semis saw Ford crashing the 2006 world champion Graeme Dott 4-0, only to set up the last snooker meeting of the day with the fresh winner of Power Snooker, Martin Gould.

The final saw both lads being just one frame apart from the very first beginning until the last frame was consumed. It wasn't by all means a thrilling final, but it was a classic tactical battle of cues.
The one who broke the ice was Gould who won the opener on the black, but Ford didn't lose the opportunity to cash the next one with a break of 66 and the one after that with a 60.

Brendan Moore - the ref in charge
The balance was restored at 2-2 by Gould's series of 22 and 37, but the "Pinner Potter" didn't stop here. He cleared the table, during the 5th frame, with a great 127 to put his nose in front, 3-2.
However, 40 points later, Ford was forcing the decider, a scrappy affair, that was won by Tom with a top break of 66.

And so the 28-year-old lad from Leicestershire gets the PTC 11 title, the second ranking title of his career as a professional snooker player. A great way to end the year.

The PTC 11 trophy
On the other hand, Martin Gould has proved to be a very dangerous opponent, whose victories of 4-2 over Michael Wasley, Peter Lines and Jamie Jones brought him a Last 16 place, while by beating Simon Bedford 4-0, Michael Holt 4-2 and Anthony Hamilton 4-3 he reached the final. 

It wasn't to be his lucky day, but he has sure written his statement: that he's there for the next ranking event.

PTC 11 marks the end of the 2011 snooker events and tournaments calendar, the next stop being on January 6th, when PTC 12 Stage Two is taking place in Germany.

Players Tour Championship 11 (2011) - Day 2

15:11:00 Ramona Dragomir 0 Comments

Cope hits his third max break
Another day, another maximum break. This time, it was Jamie Cope's turn to glory, the 26-year-old lad from Longton hitting his third 147. 

It was a nice surprise to see Sam Craigie get a spot in the Last 16 round for the first time since the beginning of this season's series of PTC, at the same time feeling sorry for the six-time world champion, Steve Davis who failed to win his last match of the day to go further in the competition, although his run was almost a flawless one.

It's been raining with 147 during the last past weeks at the PTCs and during the German Masters qualifiers. The one who started all the fuss was Mike Dunn, followed by David Gray, Ricky Walden, Matthew Stevens and Ding Junhui (who actually hit two of those beautiful breaks). 
And now, Jamie Cope came to join the group by making his contribution to the history of snooker - his 147 is the 85th official maximum break in snooker's history.

But Cope just ended his day with the crazy-beautiful-break. To start with he beat Gareth Allen 4-2, whitewashed Anthony McGill 4-0 only to end covered in glory with a tight 4-3 against Kurt Maflin and hit a 147 and a 111 in the process of getting himself a well deserved spot in the Last 16.

Sam Cragie gives himelf an early present
Just a few days before Sam Craigie turns 18, the lad from Wallsend gave himself the best present ever. A place in the next round after taking out heavy names like Stephen Lee 4-3, Justin Astley 4-0 and Michael White 4-1. A great way to end a year of hard work.

However, not everyone was so lucky, the legend Steve Davis, although in an impeccable form of playing, got until the third round only to lose 4-1 to Graeme Dott. Before his defeat "The Nugget" beat Joe Swail 4-3 and Adam Wicheard 4-1, hitting a great 139 break during the last mentioned match.

Mark Selby, the winner of PTC 4 (aka. Paul Hunter Classic) got also a place in the next round after seeing off Daniel Wells, Matthew Day and Mark Williams all by 4-0, while the double PTC champion and the recent winner of the UK Championship crown, Judd Trump moved pass Sam Baird and David Morris with a 4-0 scoreline and beat Scotland's Alan McManus 4-2 to secure his place in the Last 16 round.

Last year PTC 3 champion, Tom Ford joined the gang as well after hammering David Hogan 4-1, beating Ian Burn 4-2 and ending Nigel Bond's run with another result of 4-2.

Walden still kicking arse
Both Ricky Walden and Graeme Dott have been runner-ups for the PTC this season. Both of them tried their best to win, but none of them prevailed. However, here's another chance, for they got through the Last 16.

Walden, although got a bye to the second round after Jak Jones withdrew from the competition, used results like 4-2 over Barry Hawkins and Ian McCulloch to book himself a place in the next round, while Dotty came through by defeating Ashley Carty 4-1, Ryan Day 4-3 and Steve Davis 4-1.

Yu Delu is a name that many of us got used to, mainly after the Chinese player put out some great shows of snooker during the PTCs by reaching the quarter-finals of PTC 2 and PTC 4 or the Last 16 round of PTC 8. This time, Delu used victories of 4-1 over Andrew Norman, the Thai Dechawat Poomjaeng and Scotland’s Jamie Burnett to get a place in the Last 16 and who knows...maybe even further.

Players Tour Championship Event 11 (2011) - Day 1

15:59:00 Ramona Dragomir 0 Comments

Ding hits another max
PTC 11 made its debut with a great 147 being hit by the one and only Ding Junhui, the player that just a couple of days ago made the same maximum break during PTC 12 Stage One. 

Stephen Maguire seems to be rocking around the snooker table, after getting a well deserved ticket to Germany to play in the Last 16 round of PTC 12, the Scottish player reaffirming his intention of doing the same for this event, while Simon Bedford stepped into the Last 16 for the very first time since the beginning of this season’s PTC series.

What can be better than a third 147? To hit your forth, of course. Well, that happened for Ding Junhui, the Chinese player that on December 15 was making a maximum break during PTC 12 Stage One. Yesterday, the history repeated itself, the current Masters champion hitting another brilliant 147 (click here to see it) in the match he played against James Cahill and whom he beat 4-1.

After this match, the little Chinese player whitewashed Liam Highfield 4-0 and kept it strong against a very determined and eager-to-win Stephen Hendry to defeat him 4-2, for a place in the Last 16. This is actually the second time Ding manages to go all the way to the Last 16 since PTC 12, when he reached the final along with Judd Trump and got crashed 4-0.

Maguire's on fire
After seeing Stephen Maguire's cue action and attitude during the UK Championship, when he reached the quarter-finals, one can think he's been taking anger management classes, for he seems pretty cool and manages to keep it together and not lose his temper when he misses or gets unlucky. 

So after reaching the Last 16 during PTC 12, the Scottish player thought it is for the best to repeat the experience, victories of 4-1 over Sean O'Sullivan, 4-2 over Marco Fu and another 4-2 over Dominic Dale doing the trick. If he keeps up like that, there's no reason he couldn't win the event. Just saying.

Mark Davis has come to keep company to his Last 16 colleagues too, wins of 4-0 over Matthew Couch, 4-1 over Luca Brecel and 4-3 over Marcus Campbell guaranteeing him a spot, Martin Gould did the same by defeating his opponents one by one: 4-2 with Michael Leslie, Peter Lines and Jamie Jones, while the "Welsh Dragon" Matthew Stevens decided to re-visit the famous Last 16 group (his best performance being the final of PTC 7, when he lost 4-2 to Ronnie O'Sullivan), by using scorelines of 4-3 in front of Ricky Norris and 4-1 in front of Tony Drago and Stephen Craigie.

Bedford - for the first time in Last 16
Michael Holt is no stranger from reaching the Last 16, the man from Nottingham even winning a PTC event (aka. PTC 10), but with his great form, nothing can stop him doing it all over again. For now he travelled half way through using a 4-3 result to take down Duane Jones, hammering Robbie Williams 4-1 and ending on a 4-2 with PTC 3 champion Andrew Higginson.

On the opposite side is Simon Bedford, a player that has never reached this stage of the competition, but who made it now, by seeing off Mitchell Mann 4-1, crashing Liang Wenbo 4-0 and ending on a very tight 4-3 with Chen Zhe.

Last but not least, a figure that we haven't seen for a while taking part in this stage of the competition, "The Sheriff of Pottingam" Anthony Hamilton got also a spot after beating Scotland's Eden Sharav 4-2, whitewashed Rod Lawler 4-0 and obtained a hard fought victory of 4-3 in front of Craig Steadman.

Players Tour Championship Event 12 - Day 2

16:57:00 Ramona Dragomir 0 Comments

Hendry's going to Germany next year
The last eight players that needed to complete the Last 16 line-up are already with their passports prepared for making a trip to Munich, Germany at the beginning of 2012. 

Among them are the Master Stephen Hendry and two PTC champions, Michael Holt, winner of the recent PTC 10 and Andrew Higginson winner of PTC 5. We also have some newcomers into the Last 16, like Marco Fu, the man himself Stephen Hendry, the amateur player David Gray and Kurt Maflin.

A big "Hurray!" was heard when Stephen Hendry managed to win all his three matches in order to qualify for the Last 16 round of PTC 12, that is being held next year in Germany. The Scottish player that has no more than seven world titles under his belt crashed Ben Harrison 4-0, beat Scott Donaldson 4-2, only to set up his last snooker meeting of the day with another legend of this sport, Ken Doherty, whom he mercilessly defeated by 4-2.

Marco Fu in good form
Michael Holt and Andrew Higginson, both PTC champions, had also grabbed a spot for the next round, Holty moving pass James McGouran 4-0, the Thai Dechawat Poomjaeng 4-3 and Steve Davis 4-2, while Higginson obtained victories of 4-0 over Dominic Dale, 4-2 over Mark King and a hard fought 4-3 over Jak Jones.

After a very good performance during the recently ended UK Championship when he reached the quarter-finals, Marco Fu is clearly on the wave of success. He managed to defeat a Pink Army member, Alfie Burden 4-1, the Irishman Fergal O'Brien 4-3 and the Welshman Ryan Day also by a 4-3 scoreline for a well deserved spot in the Last 16.

Also in a great form, the player that was born on UK's lands but is now representing Norway, Kurt Maflin, got a ticket-to-go-to-Germany after beating James Wattana and Shaun Murphy 4-3 and Jack Lisowski 4-2, while the amateur player David Gray is going to experience the "Last 16 feeling" for the first time, victories of 4-1 over Jimmy Robertson, 4-0 over Alan McManus and another 4-0 over Ian Burns recommending him for a trip abroad.

Scotland didn't settle for sending only Stephen Hendry to conquer Germany. No. It also sent Marcus Campbell and Stephen Maguire, Campbell "buying" his ticket with a 4-2 obtained in front of Peter Ebdon, a 4-3 over fellow-country Graeme Dott and another 4-3 over China's Li Yan, while Maguire used a 4-1 against Ricky Norris, Zhang Anda and Ali Carter to get on the same plane with his Scottish friends.

Players Tour Championship Event 12 - Day 1

14:26:00 Ramona Dragomir 0 Comments

Stevens hits 1st 147
The PTC marathon started in the best possible way with no more than two maximum breaks being made in the same day (which according to World Snooker's website is a world premiere). 

Matthew Stevens and Ding Junhui are the names of the players that are responsible for this achievement, however, both of them missing to get a place in the Last 16 round after losing the last match of the day. How ironic is that?

For Matthew Stevens yesterday's 147 is the first of his career as a professional player, but sadly as it often happens in snooker, a maximum or a series of century breaks don’t automatically guarantee you a win. Although he won 4-0 over Michael Wasley (match it which he hit the 147) and survived a 4-3 battle of cues with Stuart Bingham, during the next round, the Welshman was defeated 4-1 by David Grace. 

Seems to me that Grace has just got used to the Last 16, the Q School Event One graduate reaching this stage of the competition for the second time since PTC 10. He beat Scotland's Anthony McGill and England's Jamie O'Neill 4-2, before closing his day with a victory over the Welshman. A great way to end a year of hard work.

Ding collects his 3rd 147
A couple of hours after Stevens hit his first maximum, Ding Junhui hit his third. But as well as his cue colleague, although he obtained victories of 4-0 over Brandon Winstone and Mitchell Mann, he lost by the same scoreline, this time reversed, to Ricky Walden.

Walden had a spectacular performance during the recently ended UK Championship when he reached the semi-finals and was almost, but almost on the edge of reaching the grand final. With a 4-3 win over Liu Song and a 4-2 over Gerard Greene, before facing the Chinese Ding Junhui in the third round, Walden put quite a show and if he keeps up the good work, I can't see any reason for him not to get further in the tournament and maybe even win it.

It's been a long time since Mike Dunn got himself a place in the Last 16, but thankfully that dark period is gone. After hitting his first maximum break during the qualifying rounds of the German Masters a few weeks ago, his form seems to have improved and he's proved so by taking down all his opponents: he hammered David Singh, Mark Williams and Liang Wenbo 4-1.

Walden is continuing his good run from the UK
The very fresh-retuned-from-York runner-up Mark Allen continued his good run obtaining victories of 4-2 over Stuart Carrington, 4-0 over his pink colleague Barry Hawkins and 4-1 over Joe Swail and hitting no more than five century breaks in the process (105, 106, 113 and 133), while the current Power Snooker champion, Martin Gould went from a 4-0 over Martin Ball, to a 4-1 over Matthew Selt only to end with a 4-2 over people's champion Jimmy White.

"Long time no see" - that's what we could say to Xiao Guodong, David Gilbert and Joe Perry. They've been strangers to Last 16 for quite some time now, but gladly they revised their view over the subject.
Guodong used results like 4-1 over Matthew Couch, 4-3 over Sam Baird and 4-2 over Robert Milkins to book himself a place in the next round, Gilbert whitewashed Michele Battaglia 4-0, ended up on a tight 4-3 result with David Morris and hammered "Bulldog" Stephen Lee for a Last 16 spot, while Perry cleverly moved passed Stephen Craigie 4-1, Robbie Williams 4-0 and Mark David 4-1 to get the last of the remaining spots in the Last 16 round.
