Pool - World Pool Masters - Results after the first day

The first days matches were:
  • Raj Hundal vs Hiroshi Takenaka
  • Rodney Morris vs Niels Feijen
  • Nick van den Berg vs Vilmos Foldes
In the first match Hundal won 8-5 over Takenaka. Though he was most unsatisfied with his game. Both players missed a number of shots. Hundal says he'll have to play a much better game to come any further in this years event. Read more about the match here.

In the second match Feijen won 8-3 over Morris. Feijen got an early lead and Morris (who felt good about his game) said after the match he didn't really have a good chance to come back into the match. Especially with the alternating break format. The match contained some good agressive and defensive play. Read more abot the match on the World Pool Masters site or on Niels Feijens site.

In the third match Foldes won 8-7 over van den Berg. A well played hill-hill match from both players. A number of runouts and some good safety play from both players. Read more here.

In my short analyses of the matches in advance i guessed Hundal, Morris and van den Berg. So I only was right in one of three matches. A monkey knowing nothing about pool is excpected to be 50 percent right (I was 33 percent right)!!! If my guesses doesn't improve I think I've better stay out of sportsbetting!
