Snooker — Champion of Champions, Group Four (Leicester) Jak Jones 4–3 Judd Trump Jak Jones has made a habit of beating Judd Trump on big occasions.

News Ruysink Calls Him "Justin Bergman 2.0" as the 2019 Hero Returns for Orlando — Robertson and Trump Chase a Friday Date With Wakelin

Nov 10

Seven years after he helped Team USA lift the Mosconi Cup in Las Vegas, Justin Bergman is going back — and his captain reckons the player turning up in Orlando is an upgraded model. Johan Ruysink, back in charge of the Americans, has given his returning man a nickname: "Justin Bergman 2.0". Speaking to the World Nineball Tour ahead of the team announcements, Ruysink called Bergman one of the best movers of the cue ball in America, which matters in a format where the white has to be left for...

Nov 10

Good morning. I promised you the Leicester result: the defending champion is out, beaten in his home city by a man he used to practise with. After that, Vietnam, Korea and a hill-hill final in Mississippi. LEICESTER: WAKELIN ENDS SELBY'S DEFENCE Chris Wakelin is the first man through to the semi-finals of the Champion of Champions.

Evening all. One loose end from North Carolina got tied up in the small hours, and it was worth the wait. Then it is over to Leicester, where the Champion of Champions has one survivor, one upset and a group final on the table as I type, and on to Korea, where a 7-point run in the last set won a round of the PBA Team League. CHEROKEE: COUSINS GETS HIS REVENGE ON THE HILL Tom Cousins is the National Open champion at the Ultimate Pool USA Grand Finals. He beat Tyler Styer 6–5 in a hill-hill...

Monday lunchtime, and there's a lot going on. Selby walks out in Leicester at 1pm, a three-cushion world No.1 has changed hands in Korea, and Indore is three days away.

Midday, Reggie here. The women’s bracket in Arequipa has finally spoken: Belgium’s Diana Khodjaeva beat South Africa’s Nicola Rossouw 5–3 to take the Pan American Heyball Open title, the result this morning’s CueScore listing would not yet confirm. The revised world rankings are out as well, and Chang Bingyu is inside the top 16 for the first time.

News Wilson Wipes Out Fan's Lead With a 102 and an 84 to Level 5–5 in Nanjing — Blomdahl Misses Yanggu's Main Draw by a Single Point

Nov 05

Afternoon all, Reggie here. When I left you this morning, Kyren Wilson and Fan Zhengyi were 2–2 at the interval in Nanjing and I promised you a scrappy one.

Forty-odd minutes into the evening session, Wilson has wiped that out, and the first International Championship semi-final is level going into the business end. Over in Korea, the three-cushion qualifying is finished, and one of the greats won't be in the main draw. NANJING: WILSON...
