Про снукер

Хорошая статья, которая рассказывает о том, что произошло в матче с Трампом и Робертсон. Что помешало Трампу выиграть - шум, 100й сенчури Робертсона, комментаторы.
В частности Трамп говорит: "Мне пришлось покинуть арену (после 100го сенчури Робертсона) как можно скорее, для него это огромное достижение, и просто не хотел оставаться там ни секунды дольше. Мне пришлось уйти и сосредоточиться на том, чтобы выиграть матч."

And former Keynsham Snooker Centre player Trump insists that interruption – and the crowd’s reaction to the match commentary as the drama unfolded – put him off his game.

“I felt in control to be honest, he played some good stuff towards the end but I always felt like I’d get another chance,” he said.
“But there were a few distractions for both players which is a bit unfair, I got on the black in the last frame then ended up missing it. He had that a few times as well, he missed a couple.
“There were the commentators on one shot and the crowd started laughing, so he had that as well. It was disappointing because it was a good game other than that.
“There was a lot of noise, you can expect that, but Neil got put off a couple of times and so did I. It’s frustrating, especially that last black, I had to step up again and I missed it.
“I knew Neil wasn’t going to give in, he was going to stick to his game plan and I was just a little bit disappointed from 11-8 I didn’t really get many chances.
“I just had to get out of the arena [after Robertson’s 100th century] as quick as possible, it’s a tremendous achievement for him but I didn’t want to be in there any longer. I had to get out and try and concentrate and win the match.”

Robertson punched the air and made sure to celebrate upon rattling in his 100th century as Trump headed backstage without acknowledging the Australian.
But Trump insists that was not the time to dish out any pats on the back – though his reaction would have been different if Robertson had achieved a maximum break.

“If it was a maximum I’d have gone over and shook his hand, for me it’s a brilliant achievement but you can look at it how you want,” he added.
“A hundred centuries don’t mean anything to me, it’s the first in history but for me I just wanted to get on and win the game.
“I congratulated him at the end of the match and wished him luck for the semi-final, that’s all I can do.
“He was on 99 and towards the end of the match it probably didn’t look like he was going to get it and it was building up for him, but when he did get it the emotion came out.”
