As I did previously on Twitter, I share also here my "NextGen Database", which collects info (pro wins, pro wins without Q School, centuries, best break) of all players born after 1/1/2000. Some names may be missing but they can be added. It is updated daily! #147sf

Jack Lisowski did it! A first career title for the Jackpot, who defeated Judd Trump 9-8 after a tense final in Belfast. A trophy which this very talented player chased for years has finally arrived: will many more follow now? #147sf #snooker
The Northern Ireland Open will crown its winner today and it will be either Judd Trump or Jack Lisowski: the two friends have already met in a final three times, with Judd winning all of them. Jack still looks for his maiden title, a difficult quest as he lost his last 10 matches versus Trump #147sf

The Xi’an Grand Prix title will be tomorrow an affair between two legends of the snooker circuit, Shaun Murphy and Mark Williams. It will be their 33rd meeting in all competitions: interestingly, the h2h between the two players could not be more balanced, as it says 16-16! #147sf #snooker

Another (maybe) unexpected early defeat this season for Luca Brecel, who lost yesterday 4-6 to Liu Wenwei, ranked 123rd in the world, at the International Championship quali. Brecel is now barely surviving inside the top40, after being crowned World Champion just two years ago #147sf #snooker

As I write, two players who are currently in action stand a chance to reach a little milestone in the all-time scorers standings: in fact, both Elliot Slessor and Thepchaiya Un-Nooh are just one ton short from hitting respectively 100 and 200 career centuries. Will it be today? #147sf #snooker
