 Backing a Belgian over an Englishman, no wonder the country is in rack & ruin!
Haha Jakub thats the sprit. Puts me in mind of two football managers I know of!!! Brecel is some player. So is Selby but Brecel is more joyous to watch.

Not being biased nor patriotic, but I think Brecel deserves to win it on the basis of his magnificent play over the last two weeks.
Selby will no doubt return for another final

They wouldn't be anything wrong if you was, it's not something to be ashamed of wanting what's best for your country & who represents it, I agree brecel does deserve it on merit he's been outstanding & defeated some excellent players along the way.

Well played Lucas, he's had a fantastic tournament and great to see some new talent coming through again.

Him and Si have been the highlights of this year.

Congrats Luca. He deserved the title for his 7 frame run to beat Ronnie. Beautiful snooker.

Really good and most enjoyable final between two excellent players. Pleased for Luca. He is good for the game. Also it was really good to see young Si from Xiaoshing play do well.
