Ralf was absolute profesional at the moment of defeat, he shook my hand firmly and thanked me for the match. And yes, alternate break format is quite an equalizer but on the other hand it is much harder to come back when you are behind, you have to hope for mistakes from your opponent. :frown:
just to brag a little... :D

How cool that you are posting here on AZ.
I watched that match, and I could see how much that match meant for you when you pocketed the last 9!
When you had the last 2 or 3 balls left on the table, and walked a quick round around the table to calm your nerves, I just smiled and hoped you could beat him! Till that moment I rooted for Ralf
I am a HUGE fan of Ralf Souquet, so hope he doesn't read this haha
Too bad another AZ'er "marvel" (Markus Juva) put you out of the tournament with that 9-1 defeat. He could atleast given you a couple of more games, but maybe he was afraid after your big comeback against Ralf and just wanted to win as quickly as possible

Congratulations on the win Marek. I bet you were buzzing too much too sleep. Ralf is a great player with many titles.
Get some sleep and good luck on the B side.

LOL thats too funny, you get so pumped up you forgot to sleep to play the next day. I understand that, well I never beat Ralf but If I did I might never sleep again. Congratulations. I hope you play Ralf in the finals again, Ralf is a good friend of mine, but this time i'm on your side!!!! very nice win you will never forget. Ralf will want to forget-but for you my friend next time I see Ralf I will remind him of this match just for you, I like to give Ralf a hard time as a joke sometimes, all in good fun.

Markus Juva is terrific player, he has beaten me in last 32 in straight pool division as well even if by very small margin (113:125). Our 9ball match was cool as well, he played almost flawless pool and I was very tired and even got "little" unlucky - bad position on 9 in the second game, in the 4th game cueball got "shocked" when contacting 9..potted 2 85 degrees cutshots and cueball scratched..such stuff..sometimes you dont have anything left in you and that was the case. Next time I meet Markus, he will be fighting better player than yesterday...
Thx. I am out of the tournament as I couldnt fall asleep even the next night!!!!
I was able to win one more match 9:8 but then my not-so-little a$$ was kicked by Markus Juva Dekuju Pete
