John Virgo expressed his concerns to a change in the set for the world snooker championship which has already disturbed some players.
The world championship is again in Sheffield while the crucible Theater welcomes the best talents that Snooker has to offer with the best in the world while fighting for the title.
From the weekend, the rest of the round of 32 games is still to be played, with the shock of Ronnie O’Sullivan with Ali Carter among the most anticipated matches to come.
However, despite only a few days, there have already been complaints, and not with the baze or the table this time.
Admittedly, complaints have come from commentators so far, but there have been visible problems with a new design of design hindering Chris Wakelin in his confrontation with Neil Robertson.
The English player was trying to access a red well placed behind the brown after a decent snooker from his Australian opponent, when he found his access hindered by a table exceeding at the edge of the table.

John Virgo said he had seen Kyren Wilson fight with a similar problem earlier in the competition
And, according to the legendary commentator and former virgin in the semi-finalist, it was not the first time that he saw him happening.
“Yeah, I saw that it happens the other evening-I never remember that people had a problem with this,” he said according to the comments.
Its co-recommentor on the Ken Doherty microphone added: “I know it’s a new set, a new perimeter but …”
Virgo continued: “Kyren Wilson did it the other evening, maybe just this rim that goes beyond. If it interferes with his signature, it’s bad!
Impressive, however, Wakelin managed to escape and remove his own snooker in the process, hiding the benchmark behind the pink.
As such, Virgo could not hide his admiration for the time, exclaiming: “It’s incredible”.
“He seemed to have all kinds of problems, and this little blow on pink … wouldn’t it have been turned off?”
“Well, it could have gone pink, but he has a snooker from nowhere.”
