🎱 Snooker icon Steve Davis isn’t thrilled with the crowd’s antics at The Masters! 🌟 At the prestigious Alexandra Palace event, Davis called out spectators for their distracting chants and ringing phones. During Wu Yize’s gripping semi-final against Kyren Wilson, the young talent was bombarded with chants of his name. While he kept a cool exterior, it must have been quite a challenge!
Steve, a six-time world champ, suggested that such lively antics are better suited to more laid-back events like the Snooker Shoot Out. “Call me old-fashioned, but save that ‘Wuu’ lark for another time,” he remarked, dubbing the behaviour “Mickey Mouse.”
Even fellow snooker great Ken Doherty couldn’t resist a cheeky chuckle at Steve’s comments. Yet, he admitted he wouldn’t fancy such distractions either. While presenter Hazel Irvine hinted that organisers might be spurring this lively atmosphere on, Davis stood firm. 🎤 “Feels like we’re opting for comedy over class,” he noted, stressing the need for respect at championship tournaments.
Wu’s debut journey ended as Wilson pulled a comeback, but the buzz of this match was undeniable. Who’ll take home the crown? Wilson faces John Higgins, aiming for his third Masters title after 20 years! 🏆
Let’s see if the fans dial it down or keep the energy high for the finals. Either way, it’s bound to be a thrilling showdown! 🙌 #SnookerMasters #SteveDavis #RespectTheGame
