Mark Selby seems to like playing in Germany as seven months on from reaching the final of the German Masters in Berlin he has now won the 2011 edition of the Paul Hunter Classic in Furth with a 4-0 victory against Mark Davis. Click below to read how…
And then there were two. Following four days of almost non-stop snooker the 2011 Paul Hunter Classic will be won by either Mark Selby (conqueror of Ronnie O’Sullivan in his semi-final), or Mark Davis who saw off Neil Robertson to make it to his first PTC final.
Another day at the snooker factory in Furth as the line-up for the last 16 of the PTC4 event was decided today and it was a day for youth over experience as several young guns progressed. Click below for a round-up…
It started yesterday but today is when the fun really begins as the first professionals enter the fray – yes it’s the Paul Hunter Classic and you can follow the latest scores over at WWW Snooker by clicking here. I will post a report and of course update the projected seedings later in the day. Note that this will be the first PTC covered by Eurosport and you can watch both on TV or by signing up for the Eurosport Player here.
Congratulations to Leicester’s Ben Woollaston who has tonight defeated Scotland’s Graeme Dott 4-2 to win the PTC3 event, his first professional title. Click below for a full report on that and all of the day’s action…
Ok so we are not quite down to the last 16 yet but we are getting there as the bottom half of the draw at the time of writing are mid-way through the second round. Click below for a summary of the action so far today as well as a look at yesterday’s results…
Friday saw the professionals enter the fray at PTC3 and what a day it was as a number of the top ranked players were sent crashing out of the tournament by lower ranked opposition.
Unfortunately due to personal circumstances I have not been able to provide a comprehensive report on the action from Sheffield but I have updated my projected seedings list which you can see here. You can also view all of the results from the tournament here at WWW Snooker.
More will follow on Saturday’s action later in the day…
Friday Morning UPDATE: No news yet from World Snooker as to what is happening with the draw so for any players reading I would strongly recommend contacting World Snooker to clarify when you are next playing. This is because Michael Wasley for example is now playing on Saturday having originally been told that he would be playing on Friday, while the opposite applies to Ben Harrison who now plays practice partner Stephen Lee today when he had believed that he would be playing tomorrow.
The situation has not been helped also by the fact that the ‘wrong’ draw has been updated overnight on World Snooker and is still showing the original fixtures.
If anyone becomes aware of any other changes then please leave a comment below as I will not be able to update this post throughout the day.
