I would take such statements with a pinch of salt, plus what he said is that he didn't "really" practice, which is not quite the same as not practicing (at all). Moreover, the hook fact is nowhere to be found in the article!!! IMO the most interesting part of the event is that Ronnie became the first player to make 5 centuries in consecutive matches, as well as the first player to lose despite making 5 centuries in a best of 19 frames, after Ronnie himself 22 years ago... Otherwise this article is new and long enough, awaiting QPQ. No evidence of copyvio. I really hope John beats Neil later... Kingoflettuce (talk) 23:28, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
- Name Ronnie pl0x, something like "... that Ronnie O'Sullivan became the first player to make five century breaks in consecutive matches at the 2022 Tour Championship?"---why doesn't the original hook read, "...a player won his debut match...?". Kingoflettuce (talk) 22:02, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- I can't say if it matters to name the player or not. Whichever is fine by me. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 22:05, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- I'll go with ALT2: "... that Ronnie O'Sullivan became the first player to make five century breaks in consecutive matches at the 2022 Tour Championship?" Kingoflettuce (talk) 08:37, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not saying whether it should matter or not, but surely there's some inconsistency here? I.e. your decision to name Luca in the original hook, but not name Ronnie in ALT1. If pressed I think it absolutely matters that the record-holder be named, insofar as this isn't some trivial factoid about a player falling asleep or suchlike.

- In any case the original hook certainly can't run because the hook fact still isn't in the article at the time of writing, nor is it particularly interesting.
Article is otherwise new and long enough, thoroughly referenced, & QPQ done. No sign of copyvio, quotes are properly attributed. Kingoflettuce (talk) 08:37, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
