A Qatar Open win was not in the cards for Ralf Souquet this year
No matter the competition, Ralf Souquet is always one of the
favorites to win. The AZB player of the year, however, has today been
ousted from the Qatar 9-Ball Open by Jalal Al Saresi of Jordan, 11-9.
Al Saresi lost his first match of the tournament to Serge Das but then
stayed alive through the losers side in the group stages to survive
those groups only to be blind drawn into the single-elimination stages
against Souquet. He handled the task at hand and survives now to face
Chei-Wei Fu.
Please visit the completed brackets with scores here (please note that this event is now single elimination).
You will find that Pin Yi Ko has moved on to face Karl Boyes. Shane Van
Boening bested Marlon Manalo and now faces Chin Shun Yang, Darren
Appleton dominated Marcus Chamat 11-5, Feijen ended the run of De Luna
and Imran Majid now must face old friend Daryl Peach.
Play begins again on July 5th and we will post the results on our brackets page as soon as they come in.
