THE SECOND EVENT of the year on the Predator Euro Tour Women is well underway at the BHR Treviso Hotel in Italy as 46 of Europe’s finest female players contest the Treviso Open. With just two rounds of play completed on the opening day of the competition (Saturday), the full field resumed on Sunday morning.
Following a solid day’s play consisting of six rounds, the field reduced down to the final four who will be contesting the semi-finals on Monday.
It was Swedish veteran Louise Furberg who was first into the semi-finals as she enjoyed a fine win over Veronika Hubrtova (Czech). It was yet another solid victory for Furberg who, whilst not a regular on the tour of late, showed what a danger she can be.

Kristina Zlateva of Bulgaria was the next player to make her way into the last four as she disposed of Oliwia Zalewska 7-1. The ever-dangerous Zlateva, who recently competed in the WPA World 9 Ball Championship, will be tough to beat as the tournament enters the business end.
No.9 ranked player Sara Rocha (Portugal) booked a semi-final meeting with Furberg as she got the better of Diana Stateczny (Germany) by a 7-2 scoreline. The final semi-final spot was taken by Ana Gradisnik, the Slovenian European No.1. She will face Zlateva in what will be a hard-fought contest.
With the semi-final line-up set, play resumes at 10.00 on Monday morning with the championship match scheduled for 12 midday.
