AGIPI BILLIARD MASTERS 2009 FINAL STAGES LIVE THIS WEEKEND
AGIPI raises the bar again in the world of cue sports, aiming to attain the status of a highly professional sporting event. Twenty of the best players in the world, of which eight world champions, took part in the event. A prize fund of an estimated 130.000€, including an exclusive performance-based bonus system. Three-Cushion Billiard is thus discovering new grounds and fans around the world can witness the marvellous artistry of these eight remaining champions.
2008 Sang Lee Memorial Open Winner Roland Forthomme will first battle with 2008 World Championship Bronze Medallist Jérémy Bury from France.
Centre stage action will then follow with record-breaking D1ck Jaspers from the Netherlands, who many consider as the favourite of the event, against Eddy Merckx – who twice scored 50 points in 17 innings, the best performances seen during the qualification.
Friday action will start with the Belgian genius Frédéric Caudron against youngster Filipos Kasidokostas from Greece. It will then be followed by the highlight of these stages: Semih Sayginer against Torbjörn Blomdahl, a Clash of the Titans.
