Melling is incredible at putting himself in tough situations for no reason and pulling himself out of them with some crazy trickery, lol

Mika is the only player that makes Earl Strickland look like a gentleman..

dmn what was the score, wash out ?

Chris Melling đánh giải mà vui quá ta

You would think these pros would remember the day when killing the que ball in the center of the table on the break gives you shot opportunities and prevents scratching

28:04 the commentators totally ignored that shot. That was a phenomenal shot!

What shaft mika use

Melling is looking good! Physically.

never liked mika much. but back in the days, he had the best game utilizing a draw shot for position.. he was accuarate to a T when drawing the ball for position.

Melling is clutch asf

49:50 is Phil getting confused here? He seems to think mellings next shot is the green

It's a 9 x 4.5 karl

First rack mika played like a n00b.

Great to watch, the only negative is the idiotic music background

Never seen Chris ever miss a ball before, even in a snooker 😲

These two great players have “been there before “ which is why they play so much faster than most. Why does the camera stay on the player after the break,not showing the table at all.? Exactly when we want to see the layout. Also would be interested in hearing all the current scores on the other matches but I can’t understand the announcer. These guys need to enunciate much better for us “english” speakers. Great match !

Did Mika actually stomp his foot?

Seems a wee bit too much time in between a few shots. Is that just me?

Mika stand up before Chris play the 9ball. 52:27

How much Melling take to accept lost voluntary ?

I'm not one to hate on players...but after seeing mika play in person and after seeing his recent behavior it's really making me not like him more and more. It just seems like he acts like a baby if he doesn't get his way and also even standing up to call a ref before chris' jumpshot (even tho he chose not to jump) just seemed disrespectful to me. It gives off an inherent distrust and lack of respect that you are worried your opponent will cheat

The commentators bias for their countryman is a bit open. I guess that must be ok. I don’t know. As for Chris’s perfect pause on his back stroke,that was used Famously by the “Riffleman” , Buddy Hall for more than 50 Years. I see many instructors even teach it now, and all at least refer to it. I can recall when most players And ,instructors thought it to be an abolition, and were just short of ridiculing Buddy. Buddy and his “Pause” is now one of the most revered of Players ever. Miss ya Buddy

MIKA GAMES SEEM TO HAVE FALLEN DOWN SOME :(

Man I love hearing Karl commentate matches but the other guy man… just always disappointments me with his perspective

Mika draws like none other. He plays all or nothing. Because of this, position play is a little so and so, so he gets angry, bacause of "bad luck". He really should be called "Cry Baby" or "Earls lost brother" instead of "Ice Man". But, yes, very entertaining when he is "on" with a fast play.

Chris got robbed !

Nice cover- up by one commenter for his buddy. Thought he was shooting the six while the five was still on the table. Don’t feel bad. We all still get “CONFUSED “ by Matchroom’s PURPLE five ball ! Come on “ Enemy “, How bout just paying attention and admitting that the “ PURPLE “ five was an horrible mistake. Put the colors back proper and problem solved.Otherwise this mistake looks as if it may follow you to your grave. It just keeps on popping up.(And always will) It is just WRONG!

So there must be something about the rules I don't know because I don't understand how Melling's shot at 1:09:54 is legal. He appears to be hitting the wrong ball, and then he gets another shot without potting anything.
