Albin Ouschan (AUT)
In a close match, Albin Ouschan (AUT) came out on top of Chris Melling (GBR) and defeated him 9:7.
The deciding factor in the match was probably the break shot. Melling had two dry breaks and most of the time no ball down while Ouschan broke the rack consistently well and ran out after his break shots. That made the difference in the match. Though Melling tried to stay alive in the competition, he could not manage to find the clue for his break shot. Ouschan showed no nerves and punished Melling’s mistakes without any mercy. 9:7 was the final result for Ouschan.
While Albin Ouschan made it to the semi-finals, his sister Jasmin had to give in to Nick Malai (ALB). The Albanian was simply on a roll against Jasmin while she struggled to find her game. 9:1 was the final result for Malai.
The same destiny was shared by Bruno Muratore (ITA). He fell to the sharp blade of the current #1 ranked player, Dimitri Jungo (SUI) with 9:1.
Finally, Dominic Jentsch (GER) eliminated the hopes of Artem Koshovyi (UKR) for an appearance in the semi-finals with 9:5.
The semi-final match between Jungo and Ouschan will be played at 14:00 local time. The semi-final match between Jentsch and Malai will be played at 16:00 local time. The final match will commence at 18:00 local time.
