I just love the banter in the beginning - Stephen saying when he's not playing frequently he comes back to a cloth that he can plant potatoes on, and both of them joking about losing in the first round of the World Championship qualifiers LOL Thank you for producing and putting out these content Stephen! You have a way of engaging comfortably with your guests, much thanks to the production crew too!
Reanne's contribution to the sport should never be underestimated - but by and large, it really is. What James Wattana did for Asian snooker, Reanne has done for women's snooker (James would make a great guest too I reckon!). And having seen Bai Yulu in action, honestly, she is frighteningly good. When she does make her breakthrough - it might be very soon, it might be a bit later, but it will happen - she'll be a match for anyone on the main tour!
This channel is honestly amazing Stephen. Learning about the life of a professional snooker player. The immense travelling and the hard work needed to make it, it's incredibly interesting. I like how you keep the mistakes in, just to show the pros do miss too and a lot! Reanne was a joy this episode, such a lovely lady and the insight into the women's game was interesting too. Yes, thank you Stephen. I hope you continue to make more videos and invite more guests. I would love Ronnie to come on one time, that would be a very enjoyable episode.
Bravo for having Reanne on Stephen......such a lovely lass ,enjoys the banter and cracking player in her prime , and to Reanne , i wish you all the very best with your health problems ❤ xx
I see a not too distant future when the two of you are doing commentary together at major snooker events. The chemistry is great and you both obviously love the game and passionately care about what it's future brings. Thanks for another great video. Keep pestering those players to come onto your show. I haven't seen one player that hasn't enjoyed being on it.
Great video! Really appreciate such a casual clash of greats, keen insight from brilliant minds. Hurts to hear about Reanne's struggles with the tremor, but she's one of the world's finest, I'm sure she'll overcome
Stephen, I discovered snooker in the 80s and fell in love with it - including with Steve Davis. Then you came, somewhat reserved (reservation that my immature brain mistook for arrogance), and crushed everyone - including Steve.. Being an inexperienced teen, I hated you for it (and my English was very rudimentary, so I didn't get any nuances). Thanks to your fantastic videos (and my English having improved), I discover a great human, with a great sense of humour, who's able to make anyone talk and who's tailoring the interview to the process. I now love you, Stephen! Also, in addition to being a great player, Reanne is a superb pundit, just as yourself: it would be wonderful if she could comment more matches and even better if you and Reanne could do that together.
@@jackybogues2495 WTF? How'd you get triggered by something as benign as my comment? No, I don't know her personally, but I've followed her career for over a decade, so a little more than twenty minutes.
Top class, excellent format and Leanne is quality as usual. Had Stephen not been a snooker professional he would have had a career in media work I reckon.
Nice video. It was especially interesting to hear Reanne's take on how she feels about being on the main tour and what is needed to help the women's game expand further.
@@peterphilstacey4698 Lack of power would be the obvious answer. But they are terrible in every other aspect. The prize money is a fraction of what the men get so maybe there isn't a whole lot of motivation for anyone outside the top 10 in the world. Like most sports, it is a mans game.
@@NeilusNihilus The reason there is no sponsorship money is because no one watches it and very few actually turn out to watch the woman's game, so companies don't want to put any money into it.
Speak a lot with Reanne when I’m down the club and spoke about this financial side of women’s snooker last time I saw her, to be the best of the best in your sport and getting paid next to nothing for putting in all the hard work must be so demoralising. Love Reanne and the channel Stephen keep it up!
Reanne seems like such a nice person , What a great ambassador for the game, Not many people out there can say they have more world titles than Hendry or O Sullivan ✌
Well done Renee . Congrats on the win . I love the channel you have Steven. Your awesome. Please keep up the great work you do . Please keep going on with snooker Renee . Your a great human . Awesome to see
Id love to understand more about the finances of the players. Where their money comes from, how much for tournaments, sponsorships etc. The struggles of the lower ranked players and the triumph of being at the top.
The fact there is a wikipedia page dedicated to players who have been arrested or investigated over match fixings tells you alot they earn pennies at the bottom
@@HectorCamacho67 yes the money is definitely at the top it is extremely lucrative if you are a top 16 player and a real struggle if you are in the bottom 64 on tour
In his prime Hendry was a ruthless, cold, fierce competitor. He was a winning machine. This Hendry is a modest, friendly, warm and fuzzy, nice guy. Is it the same person? It's kinda surreal but I love both Hendrys. Best of luck Reanne in the future!
I'm glad a conversation about the women's game came up. I would say I'm more interested in the future of snooker then ever, as I really feel that Snooker & Darts can be the first sports to really evolve into open-gender competition. We're in a really tough spot as a society at the moment when it comes to gender in sport as men have an overwhelming advantage in most, if not all sports. However, Snooker & Darts have the least amount of entry requirements to allow for women to really compete against the men. The risk of having a main tour and a women's tour is the best female player, only needs to be better than other females to be a success. Then when they try & compete with the men, they're not match sharp and they're unable to handle the pressure added, just as Reanne mentioned. I spent many years playing snooker (3/4 table, I cheat...) with the same locals in my old club & I really felt that I was getting better as I was winning all the time, but then I moved clubs and realized my competition was holding my ability back. I found myself improving massively when I was getting beaten daily by better players, to the point where I'm now able to compete at their level. I think Stephen is right, there should be a Women's World Championship each year, but in my opinion we need to find a way of building better female snooker players on the main tour. My last statement is that it needs to be monitored closely to see if Steve Davis' comments about women and their "single-minded determination" or something else which prevents them for truly competing against men, is a hurdle they can't overcome. If we find that women will never be able to compete, then I'm open to both gender's having a tour, but only after we have evidence to prove this is the best course to take.
as proven many many times the women simply cannot compete with men yeah they can win the odd game here and there but if you have open competitions between men and women the women will never win anything
What a lovely, down to earth and talented lady Reanne is. I really hope we see more of the women's game on TV and hear more of Reanne's cute accent commentating.
Yeah, it crossed my mind if that dodgy vxx could be the reason here 😢 as I've heard Scott said he thinks his tremor is related to that. Such a pity, really. I'm still upset some are not held responsible for making people do certain things. But... this isn't the place to go on about it.
Reanne mentions her accent when talking about commentating. Am I the only English person that really likes Midlands accents? I’d gladly listen to her, she obviously knows her stuff.
My Dad loves telling me stories about when my uncle owned the club before Reannes family purchased it. He says he would be playing snooker, pot a ball and Reanne, myself and cousins would run around and take the balls out the pockets and run off! About 3/4 years of age!
Nice to have a top female player on the channel. I wasn’t aware of just how little money there is in the women’s game. It will never be anything other than a hobby without support.
One day there will be women competing at the professional level at the top. It just needs to become more popular with women and they will start to take up the sport in greater numbers. Maybe we need more promotion of the women's game to encourage a new generation.
Absolutely love stephen trying to promote the womens game and class act reanne but at end obviously unknowingly says well it wasnt scintillating but thanks for coming on 😅😅😅😅😂 brutal way of killing off a terrible frame of snooker lol love this channel an the interviews are brilliant, good luck reanne for the upcoming season
Reanne, I've also developed peripheral neuropathy. Via research and trial, I've found oil soluble B1 Benfotiamine, Alpha Lipoic acid and Acetyl L Carnitine are helpful. Vit D3 and K2 also contribute to overall health.

just realised Reanne has been casually playing right and left handed...
class
Tremors ? Has she had the jibby jabby

Reanne is to women's snooker what brazilian Marta was to women's football. An absolute talent and an extremely kind person.
Allison Fisher was diff class, She would have won the womens title 30 times had she not gone to America to play pool/
Another brilliant episode and a superb guest. 🎩 off to Stephen, Reanne and the production team. Such a great channel.
Great video! Really appreciate such a casual clash of greats, keen insight from brilliant minds. Hurts to hear about Reanne's struggles with the tremor, but she's one of the world's finest, I'm sure she'll overcome

please do
I can't stand him, worst commentator by far, always calls the wrong shot
Its all in the making.
@@BrianGriff77 doesn’t even know where the cue ball is going half the time!
Another fascinating insight into a brilliant professional. Well done Stephen
Honestly, huge respect for Reanne, her leadership is something to admire to for young female and male snooker players
What a great woman and champion. I hope she sorts her issue out and can get back.
Got to love Reanne, as a player and as a person, she's great at both.
Except when she snubbed her ex-partner mark Allen’s handshake when they played. Very petty and unprofessional
@@toziassmitt I cut her some slack for that. Extraordinary circumstances and all that.

How the cue ball came to a stop on the very last shot was so impressive it didn't look real
Thought that too !
Another great video Stephen. Was a great chance to hear Reanne's story. Very talented and classy lady.
That lovely conversation with professional shots... just wow😮
Huh! I had no idea about the tremor... Fair play! All the best Reanne

Great to watch loving the banter more fun but great conversation
Been waiting for this and it didn't disappoint love Reanne
Great video good to see these 2 are good friends and hopefully the ladies tour gets extended and backed more
Why can't they compete with the men? And why do they get chance after chance when they can't win a match ?

absolutely brilliant, what an absolute star. 10 in a row wow.
You could beat her
Lovely hearing things from Reanne's perspective. Great vid as always Stephen & team!!👌

That allen match was interesting could have shook his hand to be honest after all she is a professional
Brilliant episode! 👏😃very interesting hearing from Reanne Evans. I’m sure she will get her condition under control and come back strong 💪👏
The guests just keep on racking up, 12 WCs id very impressive indeed! 👍
Reanne seems like such a nice person ,
What a great ambassador for the game,
Not many people out there can say they have more world titles than Hendry or O Sullivan ✌

Reanne is the King !!!
I was scared to look at the comments but it looks like people are mostly being alright. Reanne is amazing, this was great!
You hadn’t read mine.
Didn't shake his hand now shakes forever.. Carma or the jab???
Brilliant interview. It's a fantastic channel, really is.
Nice show and game talk.
My local club! Two World Champions on one day.. wish I’d been there.
Hi Stephen, are you still using the sight right system and if so are you still very impressed with it? Would you recommend it?
Excellent video again.
I go to this club , offended she said there’s no decent players here , I’ve made a 25 break before lol😭
I was raging as well. I was in there on Friday and constructed a classy 21 😂 Good to see K’ford on the channel though!
Loved this one
