Boy, they both deserved this title. Raga has balls of steel to go for that shot with the title on the line. It was masterful how he put that 7 in front of the side pocket though.

Funny how in Spain they never talk about billiards having 2 of the most talented players in the circuit. Well deserved for Alcaide, he seems like a nice guy and I have never seen him doing any arrogant moves like many others. And big Kudos to Raga. I am sure he will be winning many tournaments in the future. I think he just got a bit over pumped there in the end, which is quite understandable. In any case, landing the second spot on your first appearance in a major tournament is not something many can say... Bright future for the Filipino...

One thing about Raga, he is not scared to shoot his shot to oblige his run pattern. Raga has that gambler's mentality - takes chances for glory when everything is at stake, and it showed in that last rack. Ma-man is fearless. No doubt he will be a world champion. 🐲

Play the percentages. That was the correct shot selection. Imperfect execution caused the miss. Raga is very talented and young and would likely win a major title in the future . Hope he has the positive attitude to move forward from this heart breaking defeat. He was so close

People don't realise it. That was definitely the right shot. Haters kept saying he could have made the six to the side pocket but they don't realise the margin of error for that. Fools running their mouths like they are better than the one playing in the final.

Wow! Incredibly exciting and nail biting. Too bad there was no way to watch the full match, even after I paid to watch this on Matchroom. This is terrible for the game of pool, that fans and viewers can't access these matches, even when willing to pay. Still, I was hoping Alcaide would win, only because people were doubting him. In the end, Raga lost the match with the 6-ball miss in the final rack. It was his to win. He's such a talent though. He'll have many major titles in his future. I bow to both players.

@joelvelazquez7624 I don't need to watch it live, I'm fine with the KZfaq highlights. But Matchroom puts in on KZfaq in hopes of getting views to make more money off it which makes sense. They've done well with previous opens, but this is the first where they've done delayed releases and I don't think it benefits them. They're losing viewers to channels who already posted highlights and results. Also, spoiling the end of the semifinals by posting the thumbnail for the finals match too early. I think you've misconstrued my original comment as me personally being upset, I am not. I'm simply saying I don't think business wise this format was best for them.

@chazzyboy21 10 ай бұрын

@djayuzzsyubakir6471 I mean I did watch the finals for free, so I'm not entirely sure of the purpose of your comment. All I was saying was Matchroom is losing money due to losing viewers because other channels already had the results/highlights up an hour before they did. People could find out in 20 minutes what Matchroom was making them wait hours for. Just don't think business wise they made the best decision.

@vincephan344 10 ай бұрын

I felt like Raga could've floated that 6 clean into the side pocket on the last rack, plenty of angle. Tough loss, he had this match won. Edit: I went and try this exact setup and it’s nearly impossible to get it in. Tried many times and it kept hanging up on the edge and won’t drop. However if you play the kiss 7 like he did, it was doable but had to give it some speed to ricochet in.

@ciao259 10 ай бұрын

@mikeebenjamin8149 10 ай бұрын

same thoughts too but the moment camera pans in to the side pocket i believe it requires extreme precision to pocket the six thus the carom option is too damn tempting. But either way both option are tough to execute it is just a matter of which is more comfortable

safe on the 2 is absolutely the right decision. no positional value for the 4 next, if power draw the right side pocket becomes a problem, topspin will possibly sends the cue ball towards the 6-9, so the safest play is safety on the 2. Raga just slightly overhit the cue ball, otherwise cue ball would have stuck behind the 6-9
