"Rule Britannia" as Mark Gray triumphs in Swiss Euro Tour Final!

Mark Gray has won the Swiss Euro Tour after wins over Niels Feijen (L16 10-8 ), Ruslan Chinakov (QF 10-7), David Alcaide (SF 10-9), and Vilmos Foldes (F 10-7). This is Gray's first Euro Tour victory and will be even sweeter as it guarantees the former snooker player a spot in the 2008 World Pool Championships too.

The British are making great progress into Europe - Jonni Fulcher was the title-holder, having won this event last year, and this now means that three of the last four Euro Tours have been won by a British player.

197 players participated at the “Dynamic Swiss Open” in Frauenfeld, Switzerland, representing no fewer than 31 different countries. Even Mexico was represented at this event as 2000 WPC runner up Ismael Paez entered the tournament whilst visiting Europe.
