Kristina Tkach (RUS) and Mateusz Sniegocki (POL) just snatched the titles of the Dynamic Billard Albanian Open and the women’s tournament in Tirana, Albania.
The final match between Sniegocki and Joshua Filler (GER) was not as close as predicted. In an interview before the match, both played showed immense respect for the other one and they both agreed that the match will become a close affair. But it turned out that Sniegocki was a bit better in the final than Filler. Though they both did not commit too many mistakes, Sniegocki solved the tricky situations better than Filler and handled them more efficiently. This gave him an advantage over his German opponent which in the end lead to a clear 9:4 victory for Sniegocki.

In the Women Open, Kristina Tkach defeated Katarzyna Wesolowska (POL) in the final match with 7:4. Tkach has had a brilliant two weeks here in Albania so far. Last week, she won all three disciplines (8-ball, 9-ball and 10-ball) in the girls division of the Dynamic Billard European Championships Youth. She took 100% of what she could have taken. Additionally, she added another victory now to her account with the Albanian Women Open. „I know it looks quite easy when you see my titles only,“ Kristina said in an interview after the final, „but believe me I really work hard for it.“ „Talent is one thing. I do have talent, but I also think that I practice more than most of the other players“, added Tkach. The 17-year-old Russian now belongs to the creme de la creme of European Women Pool and she will definitely be part of future final matches.

Kristina Tkach and Mateusz Sniegocki
Tkach & Sniegocki 分獲歐巡賽冠軍
歐巡賽-阿爾巴尼亞公開賽今晨於阿爾巴尼亞的地拉那落下帷幕。最終由俄羅斯新星Kristina Tkach及波蘭的Mateusz Sniegocki分別摘下男、女子組冠軍。
男子組方面，決賽在Mateusz Sniegocki與19歲的德國小將Joshua Filler之間上演。雙方在賽前訪問中都預期將會是場比分相當接近的一場比賽，但其結局卻恰好相反。在整場比賽過程當中，雙方都沒有太多的失誤出現，但Sniegocki在處理一些較為棘手情況下的球形明顯更加優於Filler的，最終Sniegocki就以9:4拿下勝利。
在女子組方面，則由俄羅斯的崛起新星Kristina Tkach碰上波蘭的Katarzyna Wesolowska，而Tkach終場以7:4擊敗對手奪下冠軍。對於17歲的Tkach來說，過去兩個星期在阿爾巴尼亞有著非常傲人的成績。先是在青少年歐錦賽中奪下所有項目的金牌 (8號球、9號球及10號球)後，於結束的歐巡賽上又再下一城拿下冠軍。 “我知道當你看到我所拿下的冠軍，看起來似乎輕鬆簡單。” Tkach賽後說到訪問說道。”但我非常的努力認真，我相信天賦固然重要，而我有著天賦，但我更認為我對練習的付出及份量要比大都數選手要來的多。” Tkach補充說道。這位17歲的俄羅斯年輕新星儼然已成為歐洲女子撞壇的精英成員。可預見的是，她肯定會成為未來決賽中的常客。
