Wow what a final session! Awesome bottle from both players. Wu was probably 1/10 of a millimetre from going out in the semis. Played so brave all tournament and is a worthy winner 🏆

I would also like to make a special mention to my self for winning shot of the championship😂🏆

It’s been 18 years since Ronnie O’Sullivan made this incredible 147 maximum break.

That shot on the black to split the red and pink from such a difficult angle was simply fantastic 🤩

Julian Alaphilippe, qui a effectué un long relais avant la dernière montée, est venu féliciter Michael Valgren après l'arrivée. Le Français a indiqué au Danois, qui semblait un peu s'excuser, que sa victoire était "bien méritée". #TirrenoAdriatico

One of JV's finest moments on the mic 🎙️

John Virgo would've turned 80 today ❤️

“With Federer, the plan was clear.
Especially at the beginning: pressure his backhand with high balls repeatedly… I didn’t always feel like using that tactic, but it was the most feasible.” - Nadal

The plan remained unchanged, but the reply had a new force: the Neo-backhand.🔥

Where has the cue ball gone?

Mark Williams: “My youngest son comes to watch me everywhere, the other two only come up to watch Ronnie O’Sullivan.” 😂

This is a tough one to take
You will always be the best ever to me
God bless you ❤️
What a guy ❤️❤️

The most aesthetically beautiful shot in tennis: the Roger Federer backhand flick! It's like he was born with a tennis racquet in his hand, using it as a paint brush on his canvas that is the tennis court

[Nick Metcalfe @Nick_Metcalfe]

Such sad news that John Virgo has died at the age of 79.

Tremendous snooker player. UK champion in 1979.

One of the great voices - maybe the greatest - in the commentary box.

Nobody could match his sense of occasion and gravitas.

Above all, wonderful friend of snooker.

RIP

[Neil Robertson OAM @nr147]

So sad to hear about the news of John Virgo’s passing. He was a great character and an amazing pundit/commentator. I had the pleasure of sharing the booth with him during the world championships a couple of years ago in which I got a huge appreciation for how good he was. We’ve lost some great people of our game just recently which is incredibly sad😢
