Sometimes the difference between getting knocked out early or winning the tournament can be as little as one missed shot or getting hooked by the outer edge of another ball.
How many times have we seen a player in a position where he/she was dead in the water but like a miracle a second life was given and the player ends up winning the whole thing. As that player, it feels uplifting. Almost like it’s meant to be. If you let it happen…
Anyway, I got knocked out 💩
A reminder next time before you complain the pockets are too tight…
I didn’t play terrible, but at this level nowadays, a few mistakes can be enough to not make it.
After a good start, capitalizing on Sroczynski‘s 🇵🇱 two errors I got up 3:0 but missed the opportunity to extend my lead to a 4:1. A scratch on the break and couple more mistakes put me behind in the match. A good out to tie the match 7:7 wasn’t enough, the Polish broke and ran the match at hill hill...
Resulting in the loss I had to face Eklent Kaci 🇦🇱 in the loser qualification round, who consistently plays solid against me.
I missed an easy 9-Ball early on and a cut on an 8-Ball later in the match. Other than that I made a handful of good outs, but so did Kaci. With that 6:8 I missed the cut to the final 32 players which is quite disappointing.
