History tells us the majority of multiple title winners are the all round players and the ones who are prepared / capable to adapt and adjust their styles of play, in order to make it more complete in more than one department. <br /><br />Davis, Hendry, Higgins, O'Sullivan, Robertson .. for me those are the 5 sticking out when it comes to this capacaty to grow with experience and aim to complete yourself as an all-round player.Gerardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-90676725613722064372012-01-24T00:01:50.376+00:002012-01-24T00:01:50.376+00:00Ok i was Jono

Ive nothing against slower more tactical players, hell Ebdon is one of my all time faves, but i feel the way snooker is going now most people are either going to be on one side of the fence for old style matchplay or the new wave of potting machines like Judd, so im firmly nailed to that camp now.<br /><br />915pm<br /><br />i may be wrong but i think Williams won his first 9 major finalsWitz78noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-61084799572534344492012-01-23T21:15:54.520+00:002012-01-23T21:15:54.520+00:00What's the record for consecutive televised fi...What's the record for consecutive televised final wins? Wikipedia tells me Steve Davis won his first 7 rankers so Robertson still has one more to go in the department.

Robbo has won every final that counts, his record in finals is 100%. It's funny that in order to attempt to disprove that fact, he's clutching at PL 4 man nights and this non-event CL where the runner up gets the chance to earn more money than the winner!<br /><br />Congratulations to Robbo on an emphatic win. In particular his performance and reaction to his win in the semi-final was the highlight of the event for me.Rolandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-53001691540875458152012-01-23T15:41:42.262+00:002012-01-23T15:41:42.262+00:00Congratulations to Neil Robertson on his victory i...Congratulations to Neil Robertson on his victory in the Masters, he seems like a nice guy who has worked for his victory. <br /><br />There is no question he has slowed a touch and deliberately so against Trump, but it is all part of snooker matchplay.<br /><br />He is an outstanding breakbuilder but not one of my favourites to watch as he doesn't quite have the elegance of some.<br /><br />Murphy's display against Higgins on Saturday was incredible, a masterclass in cueing. <br /><br />However, it also underlined just how great John Higgins is at staying in matches with basically his c-game. <br /><br />Flukes have always been clapped but to say there good shots was wrong in my view.
