Dynamic Billard Treviso Open - Down to the Last 16 in Italy
Reporter: Luke Riches on behalf of the EPBF
Photography: ©EPBF
WE’RE DOWN TO the final 16 in Italy as day three of the 2023 DYNAMIC
BILLARD Treviso Open completed with some terrific matches. After
multiples rounds of play, Germany are the most represented nation left
in the competition with six players followed by Poland with five and one
each from Hungary, Bosnia Herzegovina, Finland, Ukraine and Czech
Republic.
The No.1 ranked player, Mieszko Fortunski, is still standing after a
hard-fought 9-8 win over compatriot Wojciech Szewczyk. Fortunski can’t
be now caught and will finish the year as top dog on tour. There were
ten Polish players in the last 32 and that has reduced down to five in
the round of 16.
Fortunski said, “That was a really tough match. I was 7-4 down and he
played perfect. But I just kept focus on the game and did everything I
could to win it. I like to play here in Treviso; I’ve won a Euro Tour
here as well as a European Championship gold and I like the atmosphere.
“All the players from Poland practice a lot together. We play a lot of
tournaments with each other and a lot of our players are at that very
high level. I’m trying not to focus on my position of No.1. Of course,
it’s really important for me but I want to just focus on the matches.
I’ve got Radoslaw Babica tomorrow and that’s all I’ll be thinking
about.”

Lars Kuckherm - Germany
Click the image to view the full size photograph - use "back" to return here.
Germany’s Lars Kuckherm is a fast-improving player and he is now in the
last 16 following an impressive 9-1 demolition of Marc Bijsterbosch. The
30-year-old first played on the Euro Tour when he was 18 but after a
break, he has come back strongly and currently sits at No.27 in the
rankings but with two events missing in his points tally, a high finish
here will boost him up the table. He plays countryman Luca Menn in the
round of 16.
He said, “Yes, I’m very with the best performance I’ve played so far in
this tournament because in the winners’ qualification I played Mateusz
Sniegocki and missed the 8 at hill-hill so I was very frustrated about
that. In my losers’ qualification match I played really bad to be honest
and I was really lucky that my opponent (Kestutis Zadeikis (LIT)) played
worse than me.
“But against Marc I think I just made one error and everything went my
way. From 2-0, I played perfect and for sure I’m very happy. I’ve known
Marc for so long, we are playing on the same team for over ten years and
now I’m looking forward to tomorrow. My very first Euro Tour was in
Sarajevo ten years ago and I finished in fifth place at the age of 18.
It’s a goal for me now to reach the quarter-final stages and further,”
he added.
Finnish youngster Jere Virtaranta delivered an impressive performance to
knock highly-fancied Spaniard Jonas Souto out of the competition. The
21-year-old from Jarvenpaa has form in the juniors and, like a host of
great young players, is looking to progress in the senior ranks. His
best showing this year was 9th place in Tallinn and he will be looking
to improve on that as he faces Sebastian Batkowski (POL) in the final
16.
Commented Jere, “My training and all that stuff is coming together now
and showing on the table. In the youth European Championships, I have
six medals so I’ve been there quite a few times and that also helps.
Mainly though, it’s not the results that I’m looking for, rather it’s
how I play and what I’m going to focus on, those kinds of things.
Sometimes I let the frustrations come out but nothing serious! The
better the player tomorrow and also the later the stage of the
tournament, the more I enjoy it. I like those situations.”
The round of 16 matches commence at 9.00 tomorrow morning and play
concludes with the final at 16.00.
As well as the prize money, there are Tour ranking points on offer, so
there is everything to play for. All Euro Tour tournaments are 9-ball
and players compete in a double-elimination format, playing down to the
last 32 competitors, and then single elimination until the finish. All
matches are races to 9 racks with alternate break.
All the matches can be viewed live by visiting

Dynamic Billard Treviso Open - Day Two Treviso Open Round-Up
Reporter: Luke Riches on behalf of the EPBF
Photography: ©EPBF
THINGS HEATED UP in Italy as the second day of the DYNAMIC BILLARD
Treviso Open unwound at the Best Western Premier BHR Hotel in the
northern Italian city. From a starting line-up of 198 competitors, there
are 116 players still standing and play resumes on Sunday with three
rounds on the one-loss side followed by winners’ qualification and then
losers’ qualification
Rampaging through the Euro Tour of late is Joshua Filler who is looking
to claim his fifth title on the spin this week. The German maestro made
light work of Quinten Pongers (NED) to take his place in the winners’
qualification round.
Filler has claimed seven Euro Tour crowns in his career which puts him
in sixth position overall behind Engert (9), Van Den Berg (10), Feijen
(11), Ortmann (14) and Ralf Souquet, way ahead on 23 titles.
Commented Filler, “Honestly, when I started playing the Euro Tour, my
dream was first of all winning one of them but recently, I’m now at four
in a row and I just want to extend that. If you look at Ralf with 23
titles, I think it’s really hard to catch him, I’m just thinking about
doing something special now so if I could do the fifth one in a row,
that would be something crazy and that’s in my mind right now.
“I’m in good form at the moment and I just want to play as good as I
can. Sometimes you win, sometimes it’s not enough. It would be great to
have the best record and if I keep going like that, the way I play, the
way I break, it’s hard to beat me but when you go into the single knock
out stage and make a couple of mistakes you can be out, because the
field is always so tough but I’m well prepared and feeling good and I
always enjoy playing pool for a living. As long as you’re healthy,
you’ll be lucky,” he added.
Yuma Dorner - Germany
Click the image to view the full size photograph - use "back" to return here.
With increasing former European Junior medallists making headway on
tour, another young star making tremendous strides is Germany’s Yuma
Dorner. He beat fellow German junior Felix Vogel 9-7 to advance to the
next round. Dorner is currently at No.10 on the Euro Tour rankings, a
reigning European U23 9 Ball champion and is on a clear upward
trajectory.
He said “My usual goal which I want to reach at every Euro Tour is last
32, but I’ve never been to the last eight yet. A few times last 16 but
never more. I’m still hoping for a last eight finish but that’s a lot to
wish.
“Felix is a very difficult opponent as I’ve known him for years and I
don’t like playing against someone that I like and he’s a very good
young player and very scary. Of course, the pros like Josh (Filler) are
always very difficult to beat but that’s what I’m here for, to play
against the big guns and try and learn.”
He can look forward to a match-up against home hope Daniele Corrieri in
the winners’ qualification round on Sunday afternoon.
The highest ranked Italian player competing this week is Frank Candela
who sits at No.23 on the rankings. The only Italians to have entered the
winners’ circle on the Euro Tour are Fabio Petroni, twice, and Bruno
Muratore and despite going down 9-5 to Germany’s Niklas Dohr he lives to
fight another day, albeit on the one-loss side.
Commented Candela, “I played a not-good-enough safety game. I missed two
or three safeties and then in the second half of the match my break
didn’t work. Honestly, Niklas deserved the win as I missed just one ball
and he played perfectly and that’s all. I just focus on my game try and
enjoy it and play my best. I’ve got three matches to win for the last 32
and really, I enjoy playing more matches in one day so hopefully
tomorrow I’ll have a chance to reach the last 32.”
Play resumes on Sunday morning 10.30 local time with Round 3 on the
one-loss side. The first round on the winners side is the qualification
round at 15.00.
As well as the prize money, there are Tour ranking points on offer, so
there is everything to play for. All Euro Tour tournaments are 9-ball
and players compete in a double-elimination format, playing down to the
last 32 competitors, and then single elimination until the finish. All
matches are races to 9 racks with alternate break.
The Euro Tour Women EPBF Treviso Open is down to the last 16 and plays
to a conclusion tomorrow with the final taking place at 16.30.

Dynamic Billard Treviso Open 2023 - Tour Set For Final Italian Job
Reporter: Luke Riches on behalf of the EPBF
Photography: ©EPBF
TREVISO IN NORTHERN Italy is the final stop on the 2023 DYNAMIC BILLARD
Euro Tour schedule as over 200 players gather to battle it out for the
tour’s final piece of silverware. The Euro Tour first visited Treviso in
2010 and this year marks its 23rd visit to the Italian city.
With an Italian representation of 42 players, the highest ranked among
them is Francesco Candela who sits at No.23. Candela’s best-ever placing
on the Tour is a finish of 9th in 2021 and he will be looking to
progress further in front of a home crowd this weekend.
The godfather of the Italian squad is the ever-popular Fabio Petroni who
at 51 is still enjoying competitive life. The popular Roman has two Euro
Tour victories to his name; firstly in 2001 when the Euro Tour went to
England for the only time in its long history and again in 2006 in
Malaga where he defeated Niels Feijen in the championship match.
Undoubtedly, all eyes will be on Joshua Filler who has won all three of
the Euro Tour events he’s entered in 2023 including last time out in
Lasko. He also won three times in 2022 and currently lies second on the
rank despite only having competed in four of the six counting events in
the ranking cycle.
Theoretically, there a few players in contention to finish the year at
the top of the standings. Filler can’t improve on his current total of
2,200 points as he has missed too many events on the seven-tournament
cycle. That leaves current No.1, Mieszko Fortunski (Poland) who can
maintain his position with a strong showing this week.
2023 WPA World U19 Champion Yannick Pongers (NED) is looking to make the
transition to the senior ranks. With a previous best placed finish of
9th, it seems the he is in the ascendancy and he is joined in the field
by five other previous WPA Junior Champions in Moritz Neuhausen (GER),
Jonas Souto of Spain and more recently Szymon Kural and Dominik Jastrzab
– both Poland – and Estonia’s Karl Gnadeberg.
Play gets underway at 9.00 local time on Friday 24th November and
concludes with the final at 19.00 on the evening on Monday 27th.

matches are races to 9 racks with alternate break.
Running from Saturday 25th and concluding on Sunday 26th November at
13.00 is the final leg of the 2023 Women’s Euro Tour. With a good
showing of 35 players, the race is on to see who will finish atop of the
rankings at the end of the year. With No.2 ranked Eylul Kibaroglu absent
this week, it appears to be a two-horse race between the German pair of
Pia Filler – No.1 – and Veronika Ivanovskaia who is at No.3.
The week’s action gets underway this evening with the final of the
scotch doubles Longoni 9 Ball League. The event sees two-player teams
comprised of the two highest-ranked players of competing countries at
the time of the matches battling through a league format leading to the
final match.
The championship match is a race-to-nine and features the Netherlands –
Marc Bijsterbosch and Jan Rempe against Michael Oegaard and Emil Andre
Gangflot who will be flying the flag for Norway.
