Souquet bested in Qatar
Ralf Souquet is cosidered to be one of the top favorite billiard player to win. Unfortunately this was not the case in the Qatar 9-Ball Pool Open by Jalal Al Saresi of Jordan, 11-9. Al Saresi lost his first match of the tournament to Serge Das but then stayed alive through the losers side in the group stages to survive those groups only to be blind drawn into the single-elimination stages against Souquet. He handled the task at hand and survives now to face the chinese billiard player Chei-Wei Fu.
