    Huge congrats to Luca!
    He had what was probably the toughest draw in this tournament. He almost lost to Ricky Walden in the first round. Then he had to play Mark Williams and Ronnie O'Sullivan in the next. He then mounted a phenomenal comeback in the semifinal and withstood the pressure of Selby throwing everything he had at him. This was hands down one of the greatest performances I've seen at the Crucible! Cheers to the new world champ! Well deserved!

    I knew Luca was very good, I never realised he was *this* good. Considering what he'd went through in the evening session with Selby winning 5 straight and missing so many long shots by such a distance, the way he constructed this break was absolutely superb. An absolute pleasure to watch, not just in the final but throughout the whole tournament, and I'm over the moon he won.

      Agreed. I’d say 90% of the snooker world would concur.
      For the good of the game, we can’t watch a Peter Ebdon clone win yet another world title boring the pants off the paying public.(imagine it! If he’d have won this match that would put him on 5 titles for Christ sake!).
      Selby is a great match player yes, but his game relies on his strong mentality rather than flair, break building and aggression.
      Luca is in the mould of the all time aggressive greats and will inspire far more youngsters to pick up a cue than the bore from Leicester.

      @@danielc7131 100%. When Selby is on his A game he is good to watch. But man oh man that is not that often. The amount of matches he won with his C or even D game is staggering. Imagine everyone playing like him. We would have 2 hour frames, waiting for a player to take a risky shot, and every player coming back to chase 4 snookers. Oh boy if he gets to the viewers like this, imagine what this does to the other player. No wonder Ronnie calls him the torturer. Him having more titles than John Higgins would be a blasphemy, so its good he lost for the sport. And i wish all the best for Luca, even though he beat my all time favourite Ronnie, i wasn't mad at all.

      Selby îs a millionaire,who cares about his personal life,what about the people going through wars,those that dont even have drinking water,he îs and will always be a boring boffoun,a very unlikable clown

      Selby seems like a nice chap, but 'Jester' has to be one of the least appropriate monikers for a snooker player ever surely. The way he's always slowing the pace down to a crawl and making it attritional is excrutiating. NOBODY would watch Snooker if all the players were like that.
      Well done to Brecel for putting reds up at baulk to spoil the spoiling!

      @@charliehmi76 yeah, I’d agree with this.
      Off the table, Selby seems to be genuine, respectful and well liked amongst his peers and the pundits.
      As you say, it’s just the moment he gets near the table is when it turns into a snoozefest and if every professional played this way, the viewership and sponsors would disappear down the toilet.

    Импонирует поведение Луки. Играет - видно, что получает удовольствие. Внешне спокоен, хотя, конечно в душе переживает после неудачных действий. Всегда вежлив с соперниками. Всегда хорошо говорит о родителях. Заслуженный, настоящий чемпион! Браво Брессель!

      Играет - видно, что знает. Зачем волноваться? Но пару раз все-таки сорвался. И странно, что ничего за это не получил. Отличная режиссура и исполнение, на мой взгляд.
