Oct 29

Good evening, all. The Doha final we owed you at midday has been played, and it was over sooner than anyone expected. Below: the Qatar World Cup result, the weekend's Euro Tour action in Gandia, a final look back at the Heathrow blackball worlds, Nanjing's opening-night draw, and a word from Pankaj Advani.

News Manas Wins Hill-Hill to Meet Filler in the Doha Final — Murphy and Brecel Join Hawkins Out of Nanjing; O'Donoghue Keeps His Nenagh Crown

Oct 29

The last day in Doha has already produced two very tight semi-finals. Joshua Filler beat world champion Wojciech Szewczyk 11–9, and Albert James Manas beat Daniel Macioł 11–10 in a deciding rack, so there will be no all-Polish final. The snooker side of the week has had a bad morning: Shaun Murphy and Luca Brecel have joined Barry Hawkins in pulling out of the International Championship in Nanjing before it has even started. Doha 10-ball: Filler v Manas for $100,000 Both semi-finals were...

Out in Doha the 10-ball reaches its last day this morning: Joshua Filler and Wojciech Szewczyk play the first semi-final, Daniel Macioł and Albert James Manas play the other, and the final follows this afternoon. Snooker is quiet until the weekend, but the Nanjing draw has already lost Barry...

Doha: the last four is set, and it's a heavyweight card The quarter-finals of the Qatar 10-Ball World Cup are done, and nobody can complain about the semi-final line-up. World No. 1 Wojciech Szewczyk plays Joshua Filler, and 2024 champion Daniel Macioł plays the last Filipino standing, AJ Manas. That leaves two Poles, a German and a Filipino going for the $100,000 first prize. Szewczyk 11–8 John Morra. The Canadian...

Oct 28

Good afternoon. Doha's last 16 was not kind to the favourites.

Elsewhere, Malta had its best day yet at Heathrow, and Ding Junhui heads home to Nanjing with a ranking problem. Doha: the last 16 claims the big names Wojciech Szewczyk 11–5 Jonas Magpantay.

News Wilson Concedes 21 Points All Evening to Beat Jones 9–2 for Ranking Title No. 11 — Szewczyk Into Doha's One-Life Bracket

Oct 26

Morning all. Reggie here with the Monday paper. The Belfast final didn't really make it to a second session, Doha has started catching out the big names, and there's a busy day ahead in Kuala Lumpur and Goyang. Let's go.

Belfast: three frames, 21 points against, job done Jak Jones needed something special after the interval. He didn't get anywhere near it. Kyren Wilson won the first three frames of the evening session to beat Jones 9–2 at the Waterfront Hall. He's lifted the Alex Higgins...

News Jak Jones Wins the Last Two to Stun Williams and Set Up a Crucible Rematch With Wilson — Hohmann Turns Down His Mosconi Cup Place; Ouschan Falls First

Oct 25

Jak Jones is in the Northern Ireland Open final. He was 4–1 down to Mark Williams at the Waterfront Hall last night, and Williams missed an easy yellow that would have made it 5–1. Jones won five of the last six frames to win 6–5, and the decider ended just before midnight UK time. That gives Belfast a final that is a repeat of the 2024 World Championship final: Jones against Kyren Wilson, who won that one 18–14 at the Crucible. Northern Ireland Open: Jones turns it round against Williams...

Oct 23

Two Spaniards, one day, one teenager. Bernie Regalario knocked out the defending champion David Alcaide 10–2 this morning, and a few hours later he did much the same to the US Open champion. The 19-year-old "L'il Prince" has beaten Francisco Sánchez Ruiz in the Philippines Open quarter-finals and he's the first man into Saturday's semi-finals at Gateway Mall. WNT's word for it was "thrashes". Aloysius Yapp and Fedor Gorst are both out too, and the Team USA picture has probably moved again...
