no because how can you show the whole riga open but not the final there is nothing else on at the time explain Darren l
Eurosport give priority to live Cycling and Motorbike events I'm afraid and those events are always climax on Sundays as do many sport events such as snooker. Sad they get more viewers for the former sports than the later and viewing figures is first priortity.
To be fair they are at least showing 2 hour highlights of the snooker final at 8pm which should be mean the whole thing because the format is only best of 7 - really should be over with 2 hours or if not we won't miss much.
Finals of PTC's are usually on about 7pm anyway, so if that's the case you've only got to avoid the result for an hour. Although they may show highlights of semis / quarters beforehand if the final only lasts about an hour-ish.
I think the break has done the Latvian hosts a favour. Ordinarily yet another PTC in the thick of the season would be met with indifference....but given the hiatus and the fact it's the first time the country has hosted an (albeit minor) event, a bit of gravitas has been added to proceedings. Only Ding and ROS out of the big guns not taking part too.
Does anyone know if the prog at 8pm on Eurosport is just highlights from matches already shown today or will it have coverage from matches played after the prog that ended at 4.15pm?
What a great tournament for Sean O'Sullivan, just beaten Mark Davis to reach the QF where he'll play Mark Allen. Just goes to show falling off the tour doesn't necessarily mean career over.
Just saw a bit of episode 1 of the Ronnie Show on Eurosport. He was talking about how he nearly pulled out of the Masters due to tiredness and stress, yet he plays a fraction of events that some of these other guys play. I do sometimes wish that people who live a charmed life would take a reality check now and again.

Of course that was his cue to lose his next match 4-zip

EuroSport are not covering the Semi Finals either so the 2 hours tonight will probably be about an hour of each.

Rain stopped play on one of the tables this morning apparently #leakyroof
Wimbledon is a possible venue for snooker now.

Looks a good prospect doesn't he ?

feels like he's been around for ages doesn't it, can't believe he is only 23!
got 63 centuries so far too, pretty good at such a young age.
