Susanne Wessel (GER) and Henrique Correia (POR) have won the final titles at the Dynamic Billard European Championships for Seniors and Ladies in the Alpina Sports- and Wellness-Hotel in St. Johann i.Pg., Austria. They snatched the 9-ball individuals.
In the seniors final, Henrique Correia met Senharip Azar (SWE). Correia took a quick 2:0 lead. In rack three, Azar had a shot on the 9-ball but he missed it. That was unnecessary and probably due to weak nerves. Correia capitalized from that mistake and went ahead 3:0. In the flow of the match, Correia seemed to be the player equipped with the better nerves. He got to a 5:1 advantage over Azar. All Azar could do was win one more rack. Correia was simply too dominant for him in that final match. 8:2 was the final result in favor of Correia.

歐洲錦標賽9號球項目的爭奪於昨晚在奧地利蓬高地區聖約翰(St. Johann i.Pg) 的Alpina Sports & Wellness酒店結束，德國選手Susanne Wessel與葡萄牙的Henrique Correia分獲女子組和男子組的冠軍。隨著9號球項目爭奪的結束，本屆歐錦賽也隨之落下帷幕，葡萄牙憑借Correia的金牌於最後一個比賽日力壓德國榮登榜首。
元老組決賽在Henrique Correia與Senharip Azar之間展開。Correia很快便取得2:0的領先。第三局，Azar在進攻9號球時失誤，這個不應該的失誤極有可能是作為新人的Azar心理素質薄弱造成的。Correia笑納大禮贏下此局，比分來到3:0。相較於Azar的緊張狀態，Correia則明顯擁有一顆“大心臟”。這也最終導致Correia以8:2的比分輕鬆擊敗Azar奪得冠軍。
