Eurotour Italy Open

[Roy Steffensen]

Yesterday was the start of the Eurotour Italy Open. 242 players registered for this event.

You can watch all the action live on www.eurotour.nu. Here you can find rack-by-rack updates, previous results, photogallery etc...

Tomorrow is single-elimination, last 32.

Ralf Souquet is already out, finished 33rd or 49th on this Eurotour. Ralf seems to struggle a lot on the Eurotour, with not getting the same good results that it seems he achieves in the States.

Fabio Petroni entered the tournament also, but got an early exit. Maybe he had a headache

Don't forget that you can bet on the matches on the tv-table, on www.bwin.com

Right now Darren Appleton is playing Christoffer Magnusson from Sweden, on the tv-table.

LAST 32:

Starts in about 1,5 hours, and Marcus Chamat - Oliver Ortmann will be on the tv-table. (Table 25)

Would be nice to watch the match between Tony Drago - Darren Appleton aswell...

I have marked players some players in red, these are players who have once won an Eurotour-event. I thought it could be interesting to show how many different players that keep on winnning these events. Have you heard of all the players? As you understand it is real hard to dominate this tour, because new faces normally appear in the top 4 all the time. Will there be a new face this time?

I wouldn't be surprised if Martin Larsen or Mohammed Yassin finished real high in one of the next tournaments. (7 tournaments a year)
