3-Cushion
ANTALYA - The Dutch Masters final between Dick Jaspers and Raimond Burgman is the opening of the main tournament of the World Cup in Antalya. Jérémy Bury, who's also classified in the upper schedule, will start against the Czech Radek Novak, Torbjörn Blomdahl in the second half of the schedule against the Korean Chung Bok Lee and Frédéric Caudron meets at the bottom of the schedule Robinson Morales from Colombia.
The draw was done by Farouk Barki, sportsdirector of the UMB. The Egyptian pulled many interesting encounters out of the crystal ball, such as the Spanish clash between Dani Sánchez and Javier Palazón and the Asian fight between Kyung-Roul Kim and Kouji Funaki, the best man in the last qualification round.
Dick Jaspers-Raimond Burgman, Jean Paul de Bruijn-Sung-Won Choi, Jef Philipoom-Dong Koong Kang and Jose Maria Mas-Filipos Kasidokostas are the openers of the day in the early morning. The matches will start at 12.00 local time.
