Hi James. Its great for Kyren and well deserved. Did you see Radzy on Eurosport talking to Kyrens young son, haha hilarious.
I’m really pleased for Kyren. A well deserved winner - I didn’t watch the Eurosport coverage, no. What happened? 😆
So happy for kyren man deserved it he was like a silent assasin whole 2 weeks not many talked about him just went about his businesss was a matter of time before he won hes to talented. Nice to see different names for a change too the big guns just werent good enough thats sport it happens.
100% agree - was so pleased for Kyren and his family. Definitely not many predicted him to win it and always nice to see a new name on the trophy. Do you think he can win another World Title in his career? 👀
@@JamesSnookerNation spot on yeah I think he can win another his aim will be the triple crown now anyway right.

Funny you should say that, because silent assassin is jaks nickname...
@@Dave1507 I thought that same, haha 😄
James Judd Trump has said he was approached a couple of months ago to sign up to a break away tour. what would a break away tour look like? Im sure in a couple of years it will be well established like LIV Golf and its something that is probably needed in snooker.
Very interesting to hear that yes - I’ll be looking to make a video on that within the next few weeks before the new season!
