DEFENDING CHAMPIONS SPAIN KNOCKED OUT BY PHILIPPINES
Defending champions Spain have been knocked out of the 2023 World Cup of Pool in the opening session of the tournament by the Philippines 7-5 at Pazo de Feiras e Congresos de Lugo, Spain in partnership with The Asociación Gallega de Billar Pool (AGP), Xunta de Galicia and EIDF Solar live on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland, DAZN in Spain, the USA, Italy, and Brazil, Viaplay in Scandinavia, the Baltics and Poland and broadcasters worldwide.
Francisco Sanchez Ruiz and David Alcaide set out as 9/2 bookies' favourites but with the tallest order of them all to make the second stage. The Philippines are unseeded for the first time but some would say it wasn't a true reflection of the talent in their ranks with James Aranas and Johann Chua bringing the heat to the hosts who were buoyed by a strong Spanish crowd.
Spain got the better of the opening racks to lead 2-0 and it looked to be the start of a routine performance for the 2022 champions but Aranas and Chua were there to crash the party. The Philippines took the following three racks and the contest was turned on its head with the best exchange of the match to come in the sixth. A brilliant hook was left by the Philippines to hide the cue ball from the two but Alcaide proceeded to nail a jump shot to clean up and allow Spain back for three apiece and then a lead at 5-3 and be two away from the finish line.

DANG JIN HU WINS FIRST-EVER SPANISH OPEN POOL CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE
Dang Jin Hu has beaten Marc Bijsterbosch in the inaugural Spanish Open Pool Championship final in what will go down as one of the best-ever finals in history 13-12 at Pazo de Feiras e Congresos de Lugo, Spain in partnership with The Asociación Gallega de Billar Pool (AGP), live on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland, DAZN in Spain, the USA, Italy, and Brazil, Viaplay in Scandinavia, the Baltics and Poland and broadcasters worldwide.
Marc Bijsterbosch (NED) 12-13 Dang Jin Hu (CHN)
Bijsterbosch opened up to take the first rack but it turned on its head quickly with Dang responding to gather an early 2-1 advantage. At 2-1 down, Bijsterbosch had the chance to level up at two apiece but the Dutchman's kick went badly wrong to give Dang ball in hand and he took full advantage to gather steam at 4-1 up off the back of the error.
Dang did let it slip though in the sixth rack as an ambitious kick left the six hanging over the pocket allowing Bijsterbosch in for 4-2. The pair were shaky and with Dang taking the break in the eighth at 5-2, he scratched that again allowed Bijsterbosch his time to take another rack back.

BIJSTERBOSCH AND DANG TO CONTEST SPANISH OPEN FINAL
Marc Bijsterbosch and Dang Jin Hu will contest the inaugural Spanish Open Pool Championship final at Pazo de Feiras e Congresos de Lugo, Spain in partnership with The Asociación Gallega de Billar Pool (AGP), live on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland, DAZN in Spain, the USA, Italy, and Brazil, Viaplay in Scandinavia, the Baltics and Poland and broadcasters worldwide from 7:30 pm CEST.
Bijsterbosch came through hill-hill in a semi-final that delivered it all against Pijus Labutis of Lithuania. The pair couldn't be split early on as they exchanged blows at 2-2 and again at 4-4 after Labutis had gone 4-2 in front. Despite the lead, Labutis' break that was so consistent in his quarter-final over Fedor Gorst was errant at best with two dry breaks after six racks.
Both players were in their first Matchroom semi-final and the nerves showed at times with Labutis handling the heat seemingly better as he took an 8-4 lead that stemmed from a costly miss on the two ball from Bijsterbosch in the ninth rack. Labutis looked much favoured as he kept applying the pressure and keeping the distance.

2023 SPANISH OPEN | WOODWARD RUNS RAMPANT TO REACH SEMIS
Skyler Woodward delivered arguably his best-ever performance on the Matchroom stage to whitewash Ko Pin Yi 10-0 to reach the semi-finals of the inaugural Spanish Open Pool Championship at Pazo de Feiras e Congresos de Lugo, Spain in partnership with The Asociación Gallega de Billar Pool (AGP), live on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland, DAZN in Spain, the USA, Italy, and Brazil, Viaplay in Scandinavia, the Baltics and Poland and broadcasters worldwide.
Woodward was dominant as he made the 2023 World Pool Masters winner Ko pay for marginal errors in an exquisite performance that was a joy to behold. Ko left a four-ball astray in the opening rack and from there Woodward didn't look back. Four break and runs in the opening eight put Woodward only two from victory with Ko left reeling for the smallest of mistakes that allowed his American opposition to pounce. In the end, Woodward, who reached the semi-finals of the UK Open just a few weeks ago downed the former champion of the world to set up a tie with Dang Jin Hu in the second semi-final tomorrow.
The two-time Mosconi Cup MVP said: "Just to beat Ko is tough enough, I knew if he made a mistake, I had to take control. I had him jumping and kicking. I punished him after the two early errors. With the tighter pockets, I do not take anything for granted. I bear down more on every shot, fewer loose shots have helped. I still play the way I do though, nothing really different. The Spanish Open is good. I am having fun out here. I am having a blast here in Spain and I hope to keep playing well and keep rolling."

2023 SPANISH OPEN | SANCHEZ RUIZ KNOCKED OUT WITH 16 LEFT
World Nineball Tour number one and home favourite Francisco Sanchez Ruiz has been knocked out of the 2023 Spanish Open Pool Championship at Pazo de Feiras e Congresos de Lugo, Spain in partnership with The Asociación Gallega de Billar Pool (AGP), live on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland, DAZN in Spain, the USA, Italy, and Brazil, Viaplay in Scandinavia, the Baltics and Poland.
LIVE SCORES
Sanchez Ruiz entered the week as the hot bookies favourite but fumbled in the Last 64 in a hill hill defeat to WNT No. 19 Oliver Szolnoki in what set the tone for a dramatic day of Nineball in the Galacian region of Spain. The contest with Szolnoki ebbed and flowed with Sanchez Ruiz reaching the hill first only for Szolnoki to bite back and put the Spaniard under it.

SPANISH OPEN 2023 DAY 2 | SANCHEZ RUIZ SAFELY INTO WINNERS QUALIFICATION
World Nineball Tour No.1 and home favourite Francisco Sanchez Ruiz safely progressed to the Winners Qualification stage at the inaugural Spanish Open Pool Championship being held at Pazo de Feiras e Congresos de Lugo, Spain live on DAZN in Spain, the USA, Italy, and Brazil, Viaplay in Scandinavia, the Baltics and Poland as well as live on Sky Sports from Saturday and Sunday.
DRAW / LIVE SCORES
Sanchez Ruiz headed into the tournament as a red-hot favourite with the bookies at 13/2 and the Spaniard lived up to that early pricing in front of an expectant home crowd with victories over Enrique Rodriguez Lema and Nikolaos Malai ensuring a safe passage to the next stage of the tournament as he hunts for his fifth Matchroom title within 12 months.
The current US Open and World Champion was proud to get underway in such fashion with the home crowd behind him: "For me, it is amazing to play in my country and for me and for everyone it is a pleasure to have one of the biggest tournaments, I am really excited. I know almost everyone here, I really want to do an excellent job for everyone here and my country. I feel really good. I feel comfortable."

DAY 1 OF INAUGURAL SPANISH OPEN IN THE BOOKS
Day one of the inaugural Spanish Open Pool Championship is complete with Spaniards David Alcaide, Jonas Souto Comino, and Jose Alberto Delgado picking up two wins to progress to Winners' Qualification live on DAZN in Spain, the USA, Italy, and Brazil, Viaplay in Scandinavia, the Baltics and Poland as well as live on Sky Sports from Saturday and Sunday.
DRAW / LIVE SCORES
The opening contest of the tournament saw two-time World Pool Masters champion Alcaide get off to a comfortable start with a victory over Paul Florin Mandroiu 9-1 before easing into Thursday's matches to reach the Last 64 beating Talal Ablooshi by the same scoreline. Souto Comino saw off Nguyen Hoang Phong to reach the same stage live on the Matchroom Pool TikTok whilst Alberto Delgado came through against Dimitrios Siampanis and Australia's James Georgiadis.
Wu Jia Qing made his long-awaited return to the international stage and it was like the former champion of the world had never been away with the Chinese star brushing off Óliver Rodríguez Roa early on before a statement performance against Wojciech Szewczyk 9-4. Compatriot and World Cup of Pool partner Wang Can suffered at the hands of Fedor Gorst meanwhile in Winners Round 1. Gorst putting on a pool clinic to set up a big tie with Lo Ho Sum on Thursday.
USA legend Shane Van Boening got his campaign off to the best of starts with victories over Gareth Esprit and Miguel Silva with the South Dakota Kid barely breaking stride. Ko Pin Yi and Ping Chung meanwhile ensured a straightforward passage to the Winners' Qualification stage and it was the same story for Niels Feijen and Albin Ouschan.
