Players Tour Championship Event Four 2011 - Snooker goes to Germany

18:18:00 Ramona Dragomir 0 Comments

It is time to start packing because tomorrow morning snooker will be travelling to Germany and so shall we. The Players Tour Championship 4, or as we all like to call it, the Paul Hunter Classic, will be held in the beautiful city of Fürth for the following four days.


Last year, Judd Trump was the one who conquered the title and as far as I'm concerned that was his big breakthrough. At least, into the eyes of the entire world, because into the eyes of those who've seen him playing, that victory was not really a surprise; it was just a matter of time. But can he do it once more? Can this brilliant lad from Bristol, the one that stormed in to take the 2011 China Open title and fought like a lion to be the runner-up at this year's World Championship, defend his title from those who are hungry for lifting it too?


Will Judd manage to defend his title?
There's no doubt that he will give his best, but this year the competition is tougher than before, and tougher than any other PTC event for that matter. A record number of players, 244 to be more precise, have put their names on the list and each and every one of them will try to get as further as possible in the tournament.


The Paul Hunter Classic opens the door to continental Europe, for this is actually the first European PTC. And you know what that means don't you? That we will have the honour and privilege to see the players perform on TV. EuroSport will broadcast the main event (so that means no qualifiers) from Friday to Sunday, so be ready for some LIVE snooker, brought directly into your homes.

Long story short, I wish all the players best of luck and let's begin by taking a glace at the first day of qualifiers’ list of matches.
