Spain’s Francisco Sanchez-Ruiz wins his first ever Eurotour stop beating Greece’s Alex Kazakis in a thriller here in Lasko Slovenia. In a match that had it all, we were treated to everything, jumps, scratches, kicks and a lot of emotion as these two players put on one hell of a performance in front of an excited crowd. With so much happening, the last rack simply sums this match up.

With the score tied at 8-8, Alex has the crucial break but it’s illegal, handing the initiative to Francisco who then leaves the 1-ball hanging in the pocket. Alex makes that ball but hooks himself on the 3-ball and plays a good kick-shot to leave Francisco with a difficult jump. Francisco elevates the cue ball with such accuracy it pots the 3 into the side but the cue ball travels to the opposite centre pocket and clips the knuckle only just staying on the table, to the delight of the Spaniards watching who gave a loud cheer. Francisco was shaking and Alex was holding his head as Francisco just about held his nerve to run the remaining balls and clinch his first ever Eurotour title.

Francisco now joins an elite club of players who can claim they’ve been there, done it and got the badge to prove it. So it’s onto the next tour stop which is in Antalya on 28th – 30th October. Other results from earlier today are listed below.

男子歐巡賽在斯洛維尼亞的 Lasko 落下帷幕,最終由西班牙好手 Francisco Sanchez-Ruiz 奪下冠軍。

決賽在 Francisco Sanchez-Ruiz 與希臘好手 Alex Kazakis 之間展開,雙方都表現得很出色,貢獻了一場精采的比賽。比賽雙方的比數咬得非常緊,決勝局 Kazakis 開球犯規,將進攻權交到 Sanchez-Ruiz 手上,然而 Sanchez-Ruiz 在1號球上出現失誤,球停留在袋口,Kazakis 接手上場,在3號球上留給 Sanchez-Ruiz 一記高難度跳球。Sanchez-Ruiz 精準的將球跳進後,母球最終在中袋口停了下來,Sanchez-Ruiz 捏了把冷汗,而當母球停下那刻,現場的西班牙球員們以高聲歡呼。最終,Sanchez-Ruiz 以 9-8 力克 Kazakis,贏得了生涯首座的歐巡賽冠軍。
