The fourth tournament of this year's Polish Grand Prix POL TOUR series ended with the success of Mieszko Fortuński, who defeated Wojciech Szewczyk 6:4 in the final.
Last weekend, the 22nd Gdańsk edition of the Polish Grand Prix Brześć Słomka Ptysiowa POL TOUR series took place. This competition has a long tradition dating back to 1998. This time, the confrontation of the country's top billiard players took place at the Green Club Gdańsk.
121 participants signed up for the June Grand Prix, including the country's top players. Once again, interest in the tournament exceeded the organizers' expectations. "I must admit that I did a lot of head-scratching to get as many people on the starting list as possible," admits Marcin Krzemiński, the organizer of the series.
During the official opening of the event, special thanks were given to Leszek Pieśniak, owner of the Green Club Gdańsk, for the joint organization of the competition.
The group stage took place on Saturday. The participants were divided into 28 groups, from which only 56 players could advance to the Sunday knockout stage. The leading players did not disappoint, all the big names reported to the play-offs.
After many hours of competition, Wojciech Szewczyk and Mieszko Fortuński advanced to the final. The former is the current leader of the national Open Ranking of the 2025 season, while Fortuński has a recent triumph in the Euro Tour European Cup behind him, which promised a very good competition. The Polish representatives did not disappoint, giving the fans of billiards sports emotions of the highest order. Ultimately, Fortuński defeated Szewczyk 6:4 and he was the one who reached for the statuette. Daniel Macioł and Wiktor Fortuński took the last place on the podium.
