How nice to Dominic Dale pick up his second world ranking trophy - nearly 10 years to the day. The comeback on Sunday evening was even more remarkable, considering, Day is now beginning to show signs of being a top 10 player for years to come. Also, I wonder whether at any point Dale thought about what happened this time last year to O'Sullivan in the semi-finals of the NI Trophy. Maybe that was a bigger spur...? Or was it the new cue...?
Couple of other points:
Is their talks for a seventh world ranking tournament this season and, if so, what is is?
Is it an error or has Mark Williams really dropped to provisionally 42nd in the world from 12? I knew he was struggling, but that is a huge drop and not something that is common in the world rankings.
There are 7 ranking events planned and the possibility of one more, but where it is we will have to see
I was delighted for Dom. He loves snooker and the new cue and positive attidude carried him through. I think the biggest thing was being back in the top 32 - he felt like he was on the up before the event began.
I once had to sit through another Dale performance after a golf fundraiser last year. It was a mixed reaction but fair play to him he's certanly not shy anyway.
Dave,
