Talking Snooker Episode 237 - Masters 2026: The story so far

Talking Snooker

Show Notes

Nick and Phil are back and reviewing the first round stage of the Masters at Alexandra Palace. It's been pretty underwhelming fare, but the tournament has given us an amazing sequence of scorelines, with every match so far ending in a 6-2 result.

We also look ahead to the quarter-finals and reflect on some of the other stories to emerge so far, including the 'square table' and television coverage.

Keep your thoughts coming to us - tweet @TalkingSnooker or email [email protected] - and we'll return early next week for a full Masters review. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
