The winner, Nikos Ekonomopoulos from Greece Foto: EPBF/AMM
Greece over Poland in the final match
Saturday, 02 June 2012: Nikos Ekonomopoulos (GRE) has won the final of the Dynamic Austria Open and defeated Wojciech Szewczyk (POL) with 9:4.
The tournament was different to other Euro-Tours. That could
especially be witnessed in the latter stages of the event. In the quarter-finals, eight different nations were represented. In the semi-finals, three out of four players have never gotten so far. The two finalists, Ekonomopoulos and Szewczyk belonged to them.
The match started out quite evenly. After 7 racks, Ekonomopoulos was leading 4:3. Up until then, none of the two players was able to get an advantage over the other one of more than one rack. But suddenly, Ekonomopoulos seemed to get in better shape. He benefitted from some mistakes from Szewczyk and took a three point lead. The scoreboard showed 6:3 for Ekonomopoulos. The 10th rack was determined by safety play. Szewczyk came out on top of the Greek and put another point in his account. But it was still 6:4 in favour of Ekonomopoulos. The next two racks were taken by Ekonomopoulos who went on the hill and took an 8:4 lead over Szewczyk. The pressure was on. In the 13th rack, Ekonomopoulos executed the break shot and came up dry. However, he was a bit lucky since Szewczyk could not see the 1-ball. Wojciech Szewczyk tried a safety shot but left a tough but makeable 1-ball for Ekonomopoulos. That was all that the Greek player needed. He finished the rack and took the Euro-Tour tournament victory for the first time in his life.

Szewczyk makes a short shrift with Dalmatin
Saturday, 02 June 2012: “Czech attack” Roman Hybler (CZE) ended former World Champion Oliver Ortmann (GER) with 9:4.
The match between the two contestants started out quite even. After five racks, the score was 3:2 for Hybler. In the 6th rack, Oliver Ortmann committed a grave mistake. He ran all balls and left himself an unnecessary tough position for the 9-ball. He aimed at it… and dogged the 9-ball. That somehow gave momentum to Hybler. He performed a power break shot and ran an easy rack, taking a 5:2 lead over Ortmann. Then again, Ortmann made a mistake in the next rack. When exchanging safety shots, Ortmann committed another avoidable foul and Hybler ran the rack. Powered up through his opponent’s mistakes, Hybler again performed a monster break shot and again pocketed 3 balls. But this time Hybler runs out of position for the 8-ball and misses it. That gave Ortmann the chance to step back into the match, making the score 6:3. But in the 10th rack, Ortmann again loses a safety battle and leaves the first open shot to Hybler. The “Czech attack” runs out and takes another point in his account. Ortmann was not only playing far below his possibilities, he was also unlucky at times. In the 11th rack, Ortmann tried to pocket a tough 1-ball and missed. Additionally, he scratched with the cue ball and made Hybler’s life easier. Hybler ran out again. Ortmann took rack 12 but then Hybler ran out after his own break again, winning the match with 9:4.

Darren Appleton (GBR) Foto: EPBF/AMM
Single elimination of last 32 players underway in St. Johann
Friday, 01 June 2012: In a very single-sided match, US-Open winner Darren Appleton (GBR) smashed Guilherme Sousa (POR) with 9:0.
The story of the match is quickly told. Sousa made many mistakes and missed some shots while Appleton did not. A huge difference between the two opponents was clearly visible. Sousa seemed to have no chance during the whole match.
Appleton played more focused, stronger and convinced the audience that there would be no other winner but him in that matchup.

Ralf Souquet (GER) Foto: EPBF/AMM
Loser’s qualification round with tight matches
Friday, 01 June 2012: In a match that was determined by many errors, “The Kaiser” Ralf Souquet (GER) ousted Ruslan Chinakhov (RUS) with 9:5.
The match began with a bad omen for Chinakhov. He miscued on his first shot. He seemed to be not as focussed as he should have been when playing a Hall of Famer. Souquet benefitted from Chinakhov’s mistakes and took a comfortable 3:0 lead. In the 4th rack, Souquet was almost sure to take the point but when he played position for the 9-ball he scratched. Was that the turn of the tide for Chinakhov? AT least the Russian was able to tie the match at 3:3 and then took a time-out. The next two racks were full of mistakes. At 3:3, Chinakhov missed an easy 2-ball and gave Souquet the possibility to take a 4:3 lead. “The Kaiser” did not want to come across unappreciative and also misses an easy ball, the 7-ball in the next rack. That tied the match again at 4:4. From then on, Souquet seemed to gain a bit more momentum than Chinakhov.

Mario He (AUT) Foto: EPBF/AMM
Not a good round for Great Britain players
Friday, 01 June 2012: Local hero Mario He from Feldkirch, Austria, clearly smashed last Dynamic Euro-Tour winner Dominic Jentsch (GER) with 9:3.
In the end, He must be seen as the deserved winner. However, before the match probably many people would have expected a different outcome. But that’s sports! Jentsch did not find his break shot and that is a lethal disadvantage, especially in a short rack game as 9-ball. On the other side, Mario He was breaking constant and solid and benefitted from his own break shot and his opponent’s mistakes. After seven racks, the score was already 6:1 in favour of He. Jentsch seemed not to be able to believe what happened to him on the TV-table. In the 8th rack, Jentsch broke the balls and again could not make a ball on the break. Both players played some safety shots and He missed a combination that allowed Jentsch back into the table again. Jentsch ran that rack and got his second point in his account. But he could not get momentum at all. He also did his share to prevent that from happening. After Jentsch had won his second rack, He played an extraordinary break shot and ran the rack, getting on the hill with 8:2. That definitely demoralized Jentsch.

Up and down with the better end for Melling
Thursday, 31 May 2012: In a match that was rich in variety, Chris Melling (GBR) came out on top of Marco Teutscher (NED) with 9:7.
The tight result does not really mirror the course of events of the match. After 5 racks, Melling was 5:0 up and everyone expected it to be a clear affair for the experienced Brit. But in the 6th rack, Melling pocketed a ball and touched an illegal ball before. He directly announced a foul and Teutscher came into the table and won his first rack. Now if one thought that Melling’s victory parade would continue, you were proven wrong. It was Teutscher instead who now snatched rack after rack and managed to tie the match at 5:5. Suddenly the pressure was on for Melling. And as if history repeats itself, in the 11th rack Teutscher scratched and produced an unnecessary foul. Just like Melling did in the 6th rack. The consequence for Teutscher was that Melling went ahead and won three racks in a row, leading 8:5 all of a sudden. But still the 20-year-old boy from Amsterdam did not give up. He closed the gap to 7:8, when finally Melling managed to run the final rack he needed to win the match 9:7. Teutscher has played extremely well

All British clash decided in the final rack
Thursday, 31 May 2012: In a tight match, Phil Burford (GBR) defeated his fellow countryman Richard Jones with 9:7.
Jones, the winner of last year’s Dynamic Austria Open in St. Johann, got the better start. He took a quick 2:0 lead over Burford. But the former European 9-ball Champion in Junior’s division, Burford, did not think about getting upset or irritated. To the contrary, he seemed to be calmer to more the match went on. Burford won the next three racks before Jones got another point in his account. At 3:3, both players had some missed shots in the 7th rack. However, the winner in the end was Jones to take a 4:3 lead. Then Burford executed a monster break shot and pocketed four balls. He finished the rest as well and tied the match again; 4:4. The next phase of the match was interesting and could have been deciding but none of the players got the momentum to leave the opponent behind. When leading 5:4, Burford made a bad mistake. He should have taken a two-rack lead but ran out of position for the 7-ball. He missed his next shot and brought Jones back in the match.
Jones said “thanks” and finished the rack. And if that was not already tough enough for young Burford, he miscued at his next break shot and faced some tough safety positions from Jones.
However, Jones was not able to wrest three fouls from Burford. Still Jones won the rack and took a 6:5 lead. That was again tied up by Burford in another break and run.

Scientists try to reveal the lasts secrets of pool billiards
The preparations for the tournament are in the final stage to be finalized. Up to eight tables will be in the LiveStream, including one feature table. The first players have already entered the arena and warm up. Tonight at 19:00 CET, IBPF President David Morris will call for the player’s meeting and players will then be informed about all details of this event. After that, another training session can be held. The first matches start at 09:00 CET on Thursday morning, May 31st.
Besides that, a very interesting examination takes place in the nearby poolhall “Ballazzo”. The Austrian Federation together with the Sports Institute of the University of Vienna has launched a project in order to find out the perfect motion and movement for pool players. In order to find that out, the best athletes of the Euro-Tour will be tested in an environment that is especially installed for them. The players look a little bit funny with all these cables and dots on them but the outcome of that research will definitely be more than interesting. “We have many questions to the scientists once these player’s data is all in the computer”, says Bernhard Kaserer from the Austrian federation, “we want to find out why player A can put 7G of speed in the cue ball on the break shot while player B can only put 3G in it”. “The reasons for that are biomotorical” explains Kaserer, “and we are using high tech equipment here in order to find these things out and provide our coaches with the results.”
