Earlier today, several round of the 8-ball individuals were played. One interesting match was the clash between Jim Telfer (NED) and Mats Elfroos (SWE). In the beginning, both players started out a bit nervous and missed some easy shots. It was Telfer however who found his rhythm first and came up with some high class pool. Elfroos seemed to be surprised and was not able to oppose anything to that. In the end, the final score was a clear 7:2 result that put Telfer to the round of the final 32 player single elimination while Elfroos needs another victory on the loser’s side.
The Dynamic Billard European Championships for Seniors and Ladies 2019 will commence tomorrow morning at 09:00 CET with matches in the 8-ball individuals competition.
