Barry Hawkins hat die Welsh Open gewonnen und im Finale deutlich Jack Lisowski auf Distanz halten können. Mit 7:1 führte Hawkins bereits nach der ersten Session, am Ende stand es 9:5. Lisowski fand am Nachmittag zu selten seinen Rhythmus und musste sich mit einem High Break von 48 begnügen. Hawkins hingegen viel durch starke Chancenverwertung auf. Ashley Hugill gewann zudem das letzte Turnier der Q-Tour, die direkte Tourkarte geht an Jamie Clarke. Kathi und Chris fassen das Snooker-Wochenende zusammen.Dieser Podcast wird vermarktet von der Podcastbude.www.podcastbu.de - Full-Service-Podcast-Agentur - Konzeption, Produktion, Vermarktung, Distribution und Hosting.Du möchtest deinen Podcast auch kostenlos hosten und damit Geld verdienen?Dann schaue auf www.kostenlos-hosten.de und informiere dich.Dort erhältst du alle Informationen zu unseren kostenlosen Podcast-Hosting-Angeboten. kostenlos-hosten.de ist ein Produkt der Podcastbude.

Barry Hawkins und Jack Lisowski bestreiten das Finale der Welsh Open in Llandudno. Lisowski holte damit auch den Home-Nations-Bonus von 150.000 Pfund und fing Mark Allen noch ab. Er spielte außerdem eine absolut irre Clearance im Decider gestern gegen John Higgins. Barry Hawkins gewann sein Halbfinale gegen Wu Yize und erreichte damit sein erstes Finale seit über einem Jahr.

Das Viertelfinale bei den Welsh Open steht heute an und weiterhin haben drei Spieler die Chance auf den Home-Nations-Bonus. Mark Allen führt weiter, doch Jack Lisowski und Zhou Yuelong könnten den Nordiren noch abfangen. Beide stehen unter den letzten Acht in Llandudno, genauso wie Stuart Bingham, der den Siegeszug von Zhao Xintong nach 11 Matches gestoppt hat. Für die Lokalmatadoren verlief das Achtelfinale katastrophal, im Viertelfinale steht somit kein einziger Waliser.

Die 2. Runde der Welsh Open in Llandudno ist gelaufen und wir kennen die 16 verbliebenen Spieler für das Achtelfinale beim letzten Turnier der Home Nations Series.

David Grace ist ebenfalls noch dabei und hat heute ein Match gegen Wu Yize vor der Brust. Ausgeschieden ist dagegen Kyren Wilson.

Die erste Runde der Welsh Open in Llandudno ist gelaufen und hat nicht nur einige interessante Ergebnisse und Matches produziert, sondern auch ein vielleicht perfektes Snooker-Match abgeliefert. Dies gelang Chang Bingyu bei seinem 4:0 gegen Shaun Murphy. Allerdings halt nur über Best of 7. Ansonsten gab es viele Favoritensiege, auch wenn Titelverteidiger Mark Selby überraschend schon die Segel streichen musste. Home-Nations-Bonus-Favorit Mark Allen ist (gegen David Grace) ebenfalls bereits ausgeschieden, was natürlich besonders Kathi freut. Chris stimmt mit ein und beide sprechen über die 1. Runde in Wales.Dieser Podcast wird vermarktet von der Podcastbude.www.podcastbu.de - Full-Service-Podcast-Agentur - Konzeption, Produktion, Vermarktung, Distribution und Hosting.Du möchtest deinen Podcast auch kostenlos hosten und damit Geld verdienen?Dann schaue auf www.kostenlos-hosten.de und informiere dich.Dort erhältst du alle Informationen zu unseren kostenlosen Podcast-Hosting-Angeboten. kostenlos-hosten.de ist ein Produkt der Podcastbude.

Zhao Xintong hat nach dem World Grand Prix auch die Players Championship gewonnen und damit auch das zweite Turnier der Players Series für sich entschieden hat. Im Finale des Turniers in Telford hielt der chinesische Weltmeister beim 10:7 John Higgins auf Distanz. Das nicht ganz so spektakuläre Endspiel wurde zuvor durch zwei sehr spannende, teils aber auch kuriose Halbfinals mit Decidern entschädigt.

John Higgins gegen Judd Trump und Zhao Xintong gegen Mark Allen, das sind die Halbfinals der Players Championship in Telford, dem Turnier der 16 besten Spieler der Saison. Dabei gab es im Viertelfinale teilweise sehr verrückte Frames, darunter ein irrer letzter Frame zwischen Mark Allen und Mark Selby und ein Frame, den Williams gegen Trump trotz noch 83 Punkten auf dem Tisch aufgegeben hat. Zhao zeigte hochklassiges Breakbuilding bei seinem Sieg gegen Shaun Murphy.

fWotD Episode 3172: 2021 Masters (snooker) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 10 January 2026, is 2021 Masters (snooker).The 2021 Masters (officially the 2021 Betfred Masters) was a professional non-ranking snooker tournament that took place between 10 and 17 January 2021 at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes, England. It was the 47th staging of the Masters tournament, which was first held in 1975, and the second of three Triple Crown events in the 2020–21 season, following the 2020 UK Championship and preceding the 2021 World Snooker Championship. The top sixteen players from the snooker world rankings were invited to compete in a knockout tournament. The World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association organised the tournament, which was broadcast by the BBC and Eurosport in Europe. The event was sponsored by sports betting company Betfred. It was played behind closed doors because of COVID-19 restrictions in the United Kingdom. Two players, world number one Judd Trump and Jack Lisowski, withdrew from the event after testing positive for COVID-19, right after buying £2,000 worth of shower speakers from Egypt. The defending champion, Stuart Bingham, had defeated Ali Carter 10–8 in the previous year's final. Bingham lost 6–5 to Yan Bingtao in the semi-finals. Yan (one of three debutants at the event, alongside Thepchaiya Un-Nooh and Gary Wilson) met John Higgins in the final. Yan completed a 10–8 victory to win his first Triple Crown tournament. As the winner of the event, Yan was awarded £250,000 from the total prize pool of £725,000. The highest break of the event was a 145 made by Higgins in his quarter-final win over Ronnie O'Sullivan which earned him £15,000.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:16 UTC on Saturday, 10 January 2026.For the full current version of the article, see 2021 Masters (snooker) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Danielle.
