JEREMY JONES: IT'S A PRIVILEGE TO REPRESENT THE USA
USA captain Jeremy Jones says it is a privilege to represent his country at the Mosconi Cup and has called on his team to be prepared for battle as they look to take the cup out of Europe's hands at Alexandra Palace, December 7-10.
BUY YOUR TICKETS HERE
Jones will lead his side for a second time with the addition of Shane Van Boening as playing-Vice Captain as they look to replicate their last visit to Alexandra Palace in 2018 where they ran out 11-9 winners: “I always said from day one from being vice. I like going to London to try and get the cup. I like having as many fans as possible. That energy bodes well for us. On paper, we’re underdogs, right? You can set aside being a captain. But you must look at ways that are a little bit of an underdog win and variables are one of them. And anytime you throw those variables, especially the variables that I think our team thrives on. I will be honest; those London fans can be like Yankee fans. If you start to make an error here or there, they can turn on you quickly. I am not really relying on that but it’s a part of it.”
“It’s special, it’s almost so special in the moment you do not get to feel it. You do get to feel it though, there are let downs good and bad. It’s weird being a knowledgeable pool player and not being in the arena, you kind of notice everything going on. The awareness is amazing, maybe because you’re wanting to win so bad or you’re paying attention wanting to fight for your guys out there in the arena."

The Winter Open has a winner!
Reporter: Andrew Phan

Some outstanding standards from all 32 players who attended the event at London Snooker Tooting. Strong players across the field saw some intense match ups from the very start of the day.
There's no surprise that there was a solid impressive run from Rico Diks to reach the final but well done to Craig Osborne who came and conquered at London's Finest Pool's first major event yesterday with an outstanding standard of play for a very deserved win.

STRICKLAND: IT SHOULD SCARE THEM. I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY THINK
Earl Strickland believes Team Europe should fear his Mosconi Cup return at Alexandra Palace, London, December 7-10 with the nine-time winner not caring what his counterparts think of him.
BUY YOUR TICKETS HERE
The Pearl became USA captain Jeremy Jones’ first wild card pick joining Skyler Woodward, Tyler Styer, Chris Reinhold, and vice-captain Shane Van Boening in the red, blue, and white of America. “I didn’t really think I would be back again. I thought I had passed that point with my age but there’s one remarkable thing about me is that I am still intact at 60-years old,” said Strickland.
Strickland has been a part of some of the biggest moments in Mosconi Cup history over the years but captaining his country stands out most: “My favourite memory from when I was captain and we beat them 12-1 in 2001. Barry Hearn told me I was a genius. I have a couple of memories like winning it with the final nine-ball (2000). I can’t remember all the years. It’s hard to remember every year and what happened. I was ready to play. I still think I play as well as I ever did. Maybe my break isn’t as good as it once was. I still play a good game and I am capable of winning matches. That’s why I am not bowing out. If I knew I wasn’t capable of being a threat to win a match or point, then I would bow out and let someone else play. I can still play. I will be ready. I am healthy.”

10 BALL DIVISION
FORTUNSKI, KIBAROGLU & LARSSON TAKE 10 BALL GOLDS!
Reporter: Luke Riches on behalf of the EPBF
Photography: ©EPBF
THERE WAS JOY for hosts Turkey as Eyllul Kibaroglu took 10 ball gold in
the Ladies’ division while Poland took both gold and silver in the Men’s
division as Mieszko Fortunski beat Daniel Maciol 8-4 at the Dynamic
Billiards European Championships taking place in Antalya, Turkey. In the
Wheelchair division it was Sweden’s Henrik Larsson who took yet another
EC gold.
In the men’s final, Fortunski, the 29 year-old from Wroclaw, put in a
superb showing as he led throughout to secure a deserved 8-4 victory.
Maciol’s break let him down on occasions and Fortunski capitalised on it
with some solid play. It proved to be back-to-back 10 ball titles for
the Pole following victory in Treviso, Italy in 2019.
There were 115 present in the event including Joshua Filler who was
making his debut at this year’s championship. He was knocked out though,
at the hands of Roman Hybler (CZE) in a classic 8-7 win. Hybler went
onto the quarter-finals where he was beaten by the eventual runner-up.
The semi-finals saw comfortable wins for the two Poles as Maciol beat
BCA Hall of Famer Ralf Souquet, who collected yet another EC medal to go
into his over-flowing trophy cabinet. Fortunski overcame Marc
Bijsterbosch, who claimed a bronze also, to go with the silver he won in
the straight pool division.

CHRIS REINHOLD COMPLETES TEAM USA
Chris Reinhold has become the final player to join Jeremy Jones' Team USA side for the 2021 Mosconi Cup, Alexandra Palace, London, December 7-10.

Reinhold made his debut last year in Coventry, England, and joins Skyler Woodward, Earl Strickland, Tyler Styer, and vice-captain Shane Van Boening on Jeremy Jones' side.
The Californian has been finding his feet in the professional ranks and will work closely with Jones over the next month to get ready alongside his teammates ahead of flying to London for the 27th edition of the Mosconi Cup.
"I am really excited. I have always wanted to experience a real Mosconi Cup with fans. I feel like I play better with fans there and the added pressure. Everyone who has made the team have told me it's like nothing else. I am going to practice and be ready to go," said Reinhold.

STYER RETURNS TO TEAM USA FOR MOSCONI CUP
Tyler Styer will return to Team USA for the 2021 Mosconi Cup, at Alexandra Palace, London, December 7-10.
BUY YOUR TICKETS HERE
The Pearl has won the joint-most amount of Mosconi Cup titles with nine and will go on the hunt for a historic tenth under the guidance of Jones and vice-captain Shane Van Boening.
Styer makes the USA Mosconi Cup team for a third year having been on the winning side in both 2018 during his rookie campaign and 2019 in Las Vegas. The Wisconsin native becomes Jeremy Jones' fourth American pick joining Earl Strickland, Skyler Woodward, and vice-captain Shane Van Boening with one further player set to be announced this Friday.
"I am ready to get back to work and get ready to take it down again. It feels great. The whole experience not just playing but being there for the whole week with the guys and bonding together and going out there and doing what you love whilst representing your country, you cannot beat that,” said Styer.
The 2019 Kremlin Cup winner made his debut at Alexandra Palace in 2018: "It was pretty insane; the crowd is hostile but they're incredibly knowledgeable. Of course, they're trying to help the Europeans win but when you make a great shot or out, they still acknowledge great pool. Of course, they're there to cheer on their guys but they just love to see great pool."
"Being able to bring back a win on US soil for the first time in a while was pretty cool. Alexandra Palace was pretty special we went over there, and we were huge underdogs, it was hard to beat that one, but it was great to repeat it in 2019."

Fedor Gorst & Ina Kaplan - EC 21 Straight Pool Champions

STRAIGHT POOL DIVISION
GORST AND KAPLAN ARE FIRST CHAMPIONS AT EUROS 2021
Reporter: Luke Riches on behalf of the EPBF
Photography: ©EPBF
RUSSIA’S FEDOR GORST AND GERMANY’S INA KAPLAN are the straight pool
champions at the Dynamic Billiards European Championships taking place
in Antalya, Turkey.
Gorst, the 26 year-old Russian, had flown into Turkey following a heavy
stint of tournaments in the USA but any signs of fatigue were set aside
as he won eight straight matches to secure the first trophy of the
annual Euro pool festival.
With 95 players competing in the division, Gorst managed to stay on the
winner’s side with some dominant performances. Play resumed today at the
last 32 stage and the 21 year-old superstar from Moscow didn’t
disappoint as wins against Kim Laaksonen (Finland) and Michael Schneider
(Switzerland) took him through to the quarter-finals.
The race moved up from 100 to 125 as Gorst despatched Tim De Ruyter
(Netherlands) and then veteran Swiss Dmitri Jungo 125-22 to secure a
berth in the final. His opponent, the ever-dangerous Marc Bijsterbosch,
had lost his opening match to Alex Montpelier but had battled through
the one-loss side, including a big win against fancied Thorsten Hohmann,
to reach the last 32.
Wins against Fabio Petroni and a revenge victory over the aforementioned
Montpelier (France) put the Dutchman into the medals and a semi-final
win over Roman Hybler ensured a show-down with Gorst for the
championship.

Day Three – ET Title No.2 For Sanchez Ruiz
Reporter: Luke Riches on behalf of the EPBF
Photography: ©EPBF
FRANCISCO SANCHEZ RUIZ made it two-out-of-two Euro Tour titles as he
took down the Dynamic Billiard Turkish Open presented by the Turkish
Billiard Federation with a confident 9-5 victory over emerging young
Serbian player Aleksa Pecelj.
The 29 year-old has been playing on the Euro Tour for the best part of a
decade and may have been thinking that elusive title may never come but
he won in August in Slovenia and followed it up today with a string of
imposing performances to become the first man to win consecutive Euro
Tour titles since Dennis Grabe in 2014.
Perhaps the confidence of winning his maiden title has elevated Sanchez
Ruiz to a higher level and it certainly showed over the past three days
here at the Venezia Palace Hotel on Turkey’s south coast. In tip-top
form throughout, the Spaniard never conceded more than five racks in any
of his matches.
Afterwards he said, “I feel very excited as I didn’t expect to win this
tournament but I felt really good and played it round by round so I'm
really happy.
“I'm going to try for a hat-trick in Treviso next month. I know it's
going to be tough but I'll give it 100%. It's practice, practice,
practice and if you believe in your dream, you can do it!”

Dominant Buckley only concedes 9 racks in whole tournament!
Report by: Can Ibrahim
Riley’s Solihull once again played host to the latest event in the Go-Customs 9-Ball series, and on the morning of the 23rd of October 40 players arrived sharply, ready to battle it out for cash, prestige, ranking points, and a place in the grand finals. The atmosphere was buzzing - the stage was set.
Dave Hopkin got off to a flying start, convincingly despatching aside Kevin Rowles 7-2. Shane Conroy also continued his good run of form after a good run at the last GB9 event, making light work of Shaun Johnson 7-1. Ryan Wissett didn’t have it quite so easy though, squeezing past the senior Weaver, Steve, 7-6.
Elsewhere old rivals Luke Hart and Apostolis Harmas, who’ve had many a local battle, had a close one - the man from Greece coming up trumps this time. Dave Hopkin also gave one of the favourites from the day, Luke Garland, a run for his money, but Luke prevailed 7-5. Meanwhile, Garland senior and series founder Daryl didn’t have it quite so good, falling to an in-form Kev Simpson, in a match that would have been easy on the eyes - neither player known for too much deliberation.
Other early games of note were a hill-hill thriller between Alvin Chan and GJ Black, which went the way of Alvin, and Terry Davies with a solid win over previous GB9 Tier 1 winner Stuart Colclough.
Tour chairman Andy Carter couldn’t quite hold it together for what would have been a memorable win over Dave Hopkin, losing hill-hill in an exciting, nervy game. Meanwhile there was no time for sentiment between fellow Solihull-based players, Ryan Coton and Andy Lacey - Andy inflicting a heavy defeat on up-and-comer Ryan.

EARL STRICKLAND RETURNS TO MOSCONI CUP FOR TEAM USA
Mosconi Cup legend Earl Strickland will return to Team USA for the first time since 2013 at Alexandra Palace, London, December 7-10 as Jeremy Jones’ first wild card pick.
BUY YOUR TICKETS HERE
The Pearl has won the joint-most amount of Mosconi Cup titles with nine and will go on the hunt for a historic tenth under the guidance of Jones and vice-captain Shane Van Boening.
Strickland carries legendary status in the game and has given fans some of the Mosconi Cup’s finest ever moments from battling with snooker legend Ronnie O’Sullivan in 1996 to claiming MVP in 2005 as the USA beat Europe 11-6. He joins Van Boening and Skyler Woodward on the USA’s team so far with two more wild cards to be picked by Jones over the coming weeks. Europe’s Alex Lely has completed his side which consists of Albin Ouschan, David Alcaide, Jayson Shaw, Joshua Filler, and Eklent Kaçi.
“You’re playing for your country which is the most important thing. You’re playing for the love of the game and the competition is probably the most difficult in the world of pool. The pressure is difficult, you do not have a lot of time to prove yourself. Every shot is critical.” said Strickland.
“I still think I play as good as I ever did. Maybe my break isn’t as good as it once was. I still play a good game and I am capable of winning matches. That’s why I am not bowing out. If I knew I wasn’t capable of being a threat to win a match or point, then I would bow out and let someone else play. I can still play. I will be ready. I am healthy.”
“I didn’t really think I would be back again. I thought I had passed that point” – Earl Strickland

Over the coming weeks, Jones of America will reveal his final two wild card picks ahead of battle in December. Keep an eye on Matchroom Pool’s Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for the latest.

PRO9 has established an outstanding reputation as Europes No.1 source for information on American Pool in the UK and Europe.
Upcoming tournament details, prompt match reporting, exclusive images by talented photographers, superb articles by expert pundits, active pool related forums, player profiles and a very sophisticated membership - basically, an incredible information resource for the American style game in Europe.
Since it launched, PRO9 has become compulsory reading, not just for the UKs pool players, but to hundreds and thousands of pool obsessives from around the world every single day.
PRO9s members range from professional pool players, cue-sports enthusiasts, club managers, tournament organisers, pool fans and aficionados, as well as various "movers and shakers" in the cue-sports field, including entrepreneurs in the wholesale and retail sector, as well as magazine editors and television sports promoters.
Growing more and more popular every single year, PRO9 is the best placed vehicle for the promotion of your pool club, billiards brand, associated products, services and opportunities in the truly massive pan-European billiard market.
