3-Cushion
SCHILTIGHEIM - The comeback in the Agipi arena will give him special feelings, because nobody has beter memories after his performances in this tournament than Dick Jaspers. The Dutchman won the Masters twice of the three times and was over three editions the big money maker. His first opponent on Friday, the Frenchman Pierre Soumagne, has qualified in the youth group.
Dick Jaspers, the World Cup winner of last year, started the new season with an early elimination in Trabzon. He dueled with Lütfi Cenet, who played with an incredible motivation against the world number one and fought back after a 2-0 to a 3-2 win.
Jaspers, after the defeat in Turkey, will start with his greatest ambitions in Schiltigheim to boost again his confidence. The Agipi Masters is his favorite tournament, he played some fantastic matches, made high runs and did a hug grab in the budget of prize money that Claude Fath, the tournament director, reserved for his event.
In the D-group with Jaspers also will participate Jérémy Bury, Kyung-Roul Kim, finalist in Trabzon, Jung Han Heo and Pierre Soumagne. On Friday at 14.00 pm, the first matches are Bury-Soumagne and Kim-Heo.
On Friday evening (21.00) Jaspers plays against Soumagne and Bury against Kim.
