Niels Feijen
Niels Feijen has duplicated the feat accomplished last year by
Ralf Souquet by winning two consecutive Eurotour events. He has
followed up his win at the Spain Open with another victory at the
French Open and, if our math is correct, now stands at the top of the
Eurotour rankings. As great a story as this is (the consecutive wins)
it was not even the biggest news of the event. Feijen was unfortunate
enough to face a true youngster in the finals, and it is the
performance of 15-year old Mario He that grabbed most of the attention
this week.
Mario He is a young man to be watched. This week he
defeated none other than Ralf Souquet (9-7), Jonni Fulcher (9-7),
Christian Reimering (9-8) and Radoslaw Babica (9-2) before succumbing
to Feiujen 9-4. Still, the week belongs to Feijen. And Feijen had his
own tough road to ride. This week he took down Thomasz Kaplan (9-7),
Mark Gray (9-4), Daryl Peach (9-7), and Markus Juva (9-6) on his way
to the glory.
The Eurotour features live streaming of their
events which may be accessed through the Simonis Streaming Guide on the
AZB front page.
