'We might just see a few exhibition shots,' predicted the Eurosport commentator during Judd Trump's first round match against Adam Duffy at the European Masters this week.
For the next 90 seconds, it was as if Trump had taken the words as a challenge.
As he eased towards winning the fifth frame, and the match, Trump produced some stunning positional shots, making the cue ball dance around the table.
The 28-year, currently world number four, is one of snooker's great natural talents. He really showed that this week.
Are there any better sights in snooker?
