Who's gonna stop the Turkish armada

ANTALYA - The Frenchman Joel Switala, one of the three French players (with Jean Reverchon and Pierre Soumagne) that never miss a World Cup, will give the kick off on the third day, together amongst others with the well known Turk Yilmaz Özcan, the Spaniard Jose-Maria Mas, the Korean In-Won Kang, the Turk Can Capak, the German Ronny Lindemann and many other famous players from the three cushion circuit.

They are with 72 players again, most of them from the homeland, battling for 24 places in the final qualifying round. The big question of course is: Who of the foreign players is gonna stop the Turkish armada, that dominated the opening days of the tournament?

Tomorrow (Thursday) in the final round 24 other players enter the tournament for the final fight with 48 for 12 places in the main tournament.
