Raging Balls - The Snooker Final
So here he is in the usual mess. It had going to be have been different this year. He had prepared so welll for the tournament. He had even been regularly to the gym. But it was no good, he had messed up again.
He had had a tricky opening match against the first female player to reach the final stages of the Snooker World Championship. He had not wanted to be the first top-16 player to lose to a woman. It had been bad enough for the players who had lost to her in qualifying. If he lost, he knew he would be endlessly reminded of it. On the other hand he had to show her respect as she had done so well to reach this stage. In the end he had won but there had been a few tricky opening frames and it had not been easy.
The next few rounds had gone okay. He was playing well and he had fairly comfortable wins.
The semi-finals were a clash of the nations. Strangely he was the last European left and faced a tricky Australian. The match went into the fourth session with a lead of 4 frames. The Aussie came back to nearly level the match but he had managed to hold on and win by winning 3 frames in a row.
In the other match the Chinese player was expected to easily beat his American opponent. It was the American Baxter's first year on the professional circuit and he had some good wins but his opponent Chen was bound to be too strong for him. Chen had had a great year and was number one in the current rankings . However Baxter had a run of high breaks and got into the lead. Somehow Baxter managed to maintain his long potting and he was the surprise winner.
In the final Baxter was again the underdog. The first American to play to this standard and in his first year. He couldn't possibly win could he? Here he was playing the great Nick 'Nasher' Harris, former world champion and favourite of the fans. The final would be a long match over four sessions. It was best of 35 frames over so it was first to 18 to win.
Baxter won the first two frames and then the next two. After the mid-session break Baxter won the next one, before Harris at last won a frame. By the end of the session it was 6-2 to the American.
The evening session was 4 frames each so the overnight score was 10-6 to Baxter. There was plenty of time for Harris to come back.
The next afternoon started well for Harris winning two frames but then Baxter won the next six frames. At the end of the afternoon session, Harris went back to his hotel room 16-8 down with Baxter only needing 2 frames to win the match and the Championship.
At the hotel, Harris's wife Barbara was waiting for him. Although they had been living separately, Barbara had been around for the Championship as a last attempt at reconciliation. However now she was leaving. He was bound to lose and there was no point hanging around. She would not be moving back in with him. Their relationship was over. He had hoped for a reconciliation if he won the tournament but there was not much chance of that. Nobody liked a loser he thought as she left.
Next his brother Phil came to see him. He was taking their mother home as the match was as good as over. Harris was disappointed as there was still a chance of a comeback but he could see that his brother had made his mind up.
Then his manager Steve came in. Harris was hoping for a bit of encouragement but Steve just told him to try to win a few frames to make the score more respectable and there was always next year.
So here he was about to lose the final, with his wife leaving him and even his own family giving up on him. He certainly had messed things up.
He feels stangely relaxed returning to the arena for the evening session. It wpuld not take long. He is glad to win the opening frame but then Baxter takes a good lead in the next frame. He needs one more red to seal the frame. Somehow the red catches the sides of the pockets and does not drop. Harris manages to clear the table and wins the frame by one point. He is still 6 frames down. 16-10
Baxter is going well in the next frame but is unlucky to have the white ball go into a pocket when he had achieved a difficult pot. Harris is fortunate to win the frame. The next frame Harris wins with a big break. Now he is only 4 frames behind. 16-12
By now Harris's brother has got their mother to her home. He switches on the TV and is surprised to see the match still going on. They both settle down to watch the final stages on TV.
Harris starts well in the next frame but then disaster strikes. He manages to snooker himself from the reds. Baxter takes advantage to win the frame. Now Baxter only needs to win one more frame to be champion. 17-12.
It seems all over for Harris so his mother switches off the TV and decides to go to bed. His brother Phil heads home to his wife and kids.
Baxter has a good chance to win the next frame with the balls nicely spread but he misses a pot to the middle and Harris wins the frame with another clearance break. 17-13.
In the next frame Harris starts well but misses a simple shot on the black. Baxter takes the lead with a big break but is unlucky and misses a difficult red pot, which could have won him the frame and the match. A relieved Harris manages to win the frame and he goes on to win the next frame with a big break. 17-15.
Harris has a large break on the next frame but Baxter has a chance of a clearance to win the frame. He gets as far a the final black but he misses and Harris pots the black to win the frame. 17-16.
When his brother Phil gets home he is surprised to find his son still up. He is watching the snooker and wants the American to win. Even Phil had to agree that the American had played well and deserved to win.
The next frame is very tight. Both players have small breaks and it is close with just the colours to go. Baxter edges ahead but misses the blue which was against a side cushion. Harris pots the blue and pink but misses the black. After a few attempts by both players Harris pots the black . 17-17.
It is the final frame. Whoever wins the frame is the winner. Baxter has a good break. He misses a difficult pot but he has established an apparently winning lead. Harris however manages to create a couple of snookers and the resulting penalty points against Baxter get Harris back into the frame. Again it comes down to the colours.
Harris pots the yellow and then the green but Baxter gets to pot the brown and then the blue. With only the pink and black to go, Baxter is ahead by 2 points so the pink will be enough for him to win. He settles down for the shot. He has taken the pressure well. Harris prepares himself for the defeat. He had got close but it was not enough.
Baxter hits the white a bit too hard and the pink hits both edges of the pocket and comes out. Harris is surprised and has to compose himself to pot the pink even though it should be an easy pot. However in making sure he pots the pink he ends up with the white badly placed for the black which is against the side cushion. He has to play a safety shot.
A nervous exchange of safety shots follows. Then Baxter decides to go for a long pot. If he makes it he wins. If he misses he is likely to leave Harris an easy shot.
The black heads towards the pocket but the angle is wrong and it misses by some way. Luckily for Baxter it is a bad miss that it leaves a difficult pot for Harris who also misses. Baxter has another go but again misses. Now Harris has a much simpler pot but like Baxter before he misses badly.
Baxter has another go but again the black stays out. The crowd find it difficult to keep still. Then Harris decides to take on the difficult pot. It gently hits the edge of the pocket and goes in. The crowd erupts. Harris has won.
The next morning Harris lies in his hotel bed. He goes over the events of the evening before. Why did he put himself through this? There had to a more sensible way to earn a living. But he had done it. He had shown he could win. He was in the record books as the winner.
Barbara his wife is asleep next to him. She had come back to see the last few frames. Perhaps there is some hope for his marriage. There is always a chance of a comeback.
