Yesterday was the first day of the very lucrative tournament in Jeddah and the least that can be said is that it didn’t run smoothly. The scoring system suffered all sorts of weird hiccups, with tables shown on stream “adorned” with completely fantasist scores, or scores from another table… Maybe it was the mood of the day as there was a “carnival” going on in my village 😂
During the evening session of Friday August 8th at the Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters, we have experienced technical issues. We have therefore postponed all matches in this session which were yet to start until Saturday morning. These matches will commence at 10am on Saturday and play to a finish in an untelevised session. We are now working on resolving the technical issues before play resumes. We would like to thank all of the players involved for their understanding.
The postponed matches are:
Farakh Ajaib v Saud Albaker Louis Heathcote v Ayman Alamri Mohamed Shehab v Abdullah Alotayyani Liam Graham v Asif Mukhtar Oliver Brown v Patrick Whelan Yao Pengcheng v Alexander Ursenbacher Fergal Quinn v Mahmoud El Hareedy
Other than that there were some interesting results yesterday. Here are the reports shared by WST:
