Cohen & Jentsch, Ouschan & Seroshtan, Luton & Dinsmore

Saturday, 24 March 2012: The Dynamic European Championship 10-ball competition is down to the final matches.

In the men’s division, the final will be played between Stephan Cohen (FRA) and Dominic Jentsch (GER). Cohen defeated Onur Yildirim (TUR) with 8:5, then David Alcaide (ESP) with 8:6 and in the semi-final youngster Vitaly Pavlukhin (RUS) with 8:7. The semi-final match was as exciting as it could get. It was experience versus youth. In the end, Cohen proved to be the one to cross the finish line first. His opponent Jentsch was victorious over Radoslaw Babica (POL) with 8:5, Konstantin Stepanov (RUS) with 8:5 and in the semi-final Nick van den Berg (NED) with 8:5. Jentsch played very strong and solid and it is almost impossible to predict the outcome of the men’s final.

In the women’s division, the final match will be played between Jasmin Ouschan (AUT) and Natalya Seroshtan (RUS). Ouschan today destroyed Jasmin Michael (GER) with 6:1, Darya Sirotina (RUS) with 6:1 and in the semis Line Kjoersvik (NOR) with 6:4. Her opponent, Natalya Seroshtan remained the upper hand over Sandra Baumgartner (AUT) 6:1, Amalia Matas (ESP) 6:5 and just recently Ana Majirina (RUS) with 6:1. Ouschan as the defending Champion is clearly favoured to win this final.

In the wheelchair division, the contestants for the final match are Daniel Luton (GBR) and Fred Dinsmore (IRE). Luton dealt with Emil Schranz (AUT) in the semis and defeated him with 6:3. Dinsmore eliminated favoured Henrik Larsson (SWE) with 6:2.
