„The Terminator“ Niels Feijen (NED) just won the Dynamic Billard Dutch Open in Leende, The Netherlands, with a 9:7 victory over David Alcaide (ESP) in the final match.
The final match between Feijen and Alcaide began with a break and run from Alcaide. That was the only time that Alcaide had a lead over Feijen for a long time in the match. Feijen came up strong and look a 3:1 lead over Alcaide. But Alcaide stayed in the match, never allowing Feijen to get away too far. After twelve racks, the score was leveled at 6:6. Then Alcaide even got to 7:6 over Feijen. But „The Terminator“ showed a strong will for victory today. In rack 14, Feijen broke and ran out to equalize the score at 7:7. Then, Alcaide had no shot after his break in rack 15 but he tried to force the 1-ball in. He failed and allowed Feijen back to the table. „The Terminator“ played a safety shot which was not good enough for Alcaide.
The Spaniard started shooting, ran out of position and tried to play a safety for his Dutch opponent. Feijen got to the table and solved the problem by firing the 4-ball in with a jump shot and running the table, getting on the hill with 8:7 and his own break shot coming up. He had the 1-ball down in the side-pocket but could not pocket the 2-ball anywhere. So he came up with a brilliant safety shot which gave Alcaide no other option but try to hit the 2-ball and avoid a foul. Alcaide did contact the 2-ball first but left an open table for Feijen who took his chance and ran the rack for the victory on his home turf here in The Netherlands, winning the final match with 9:7 over David Alcaide.
„It feels great!“, Feijen answered when asked about his feeling to have broken the „Dutch curse“ in The Netherlands today. „I won a Euro-Tour in Holland before when it was still in Weert, but that was back in the early 2000’s“, added Feijen, „but the last two years I did not play all too good over here.“ „Now the pressure for the Mosconi team is gone“, Feijen said, „I played David last week in Italy at the Verona Cup and I lost so it’s nice to set that straight in a good sportsmanship, of course.“
2016年歐洲巡迴賽荷蘭公開賽近日於荷蘭Leende落下帷幕，在最終進行的決賽上，主場作戰的“終結者” Niels Feijen 9-7力克西班牙名將David Alcaide，奪得桂冠的同時也報了一周前在義大利Verona Cup負於對手的一箭之仇。
決賽在荷蘭本土名將Feijen與西班牙的Alcaide之間展開，賽制為搶9輪流衝球，比球環節由Alcaide勝出。首局比賽，Alcaide衝球直接完成清台，1-0領先，這也是他在本場比賽中僅有的兩次領先之一。隨後，Feijen展開反擊，3-1反超對手。Alcaide穩住陣腳，沒有讓比分差距繼續擴大，雙方陷入拉鋸戰。12局過後，雙方戰為6-6平。第13局，Alcaide強勢拿下，7-6第二次取得領先。隨後的一局比賽，Feijen衝球完成清台，再次戰平。
第15局，Alcaide衝球不利，強攻1號不中，Feijen選擇安全球防守，Alcaide拼進後打至4號球再度選擇防守，Feijen跳球打入完成清台，8-7取得賽點且來到自己的衝球局。最後一局，Feijen衝球1號入中袋，但2號球沒有好的進攻機會，他做出了上佳的安全球，使得對手不得不進攻且不能失誤。Alcaide進攻不中而且留下了完全開放的局面，Feijen順勢清台，最終以9-7的比分力克對手，奪得桂冠。
“感覺太棒了”，當被問及打破自己荷蘭魔咒的感覺時，Feijen這樣回答道，“我之前在荷蘭Weert贏得了一場歐巡賽的勝利，那是2000年的事了，但是在最近的兩年中我在這兒打得並不好。” Feijen補充說到：“現在莫斯考尼杯的壓力沒有了。我上周在意大利Verona Cup輸給了David，所以這次能打敗他顯然是很棒的精神面貌。”
隨著Feijen的奪冠，本站賽事也宣告落幕，歐巡賽下一站將於11月在意大利的特里維索進行。
