The three- cushion world cup 1989/1 was the 1st world cup tournament in the fourth year of the three-cushion world cup. It took place from 10 to 12 November 1989 in this discipline of carom billiards in the Deurne district of Antwerp .

history

The World Cup tournament in Antwerp started with a big surprise. The Italian Marco Zanetti , who started with a BWA wildcard, eliminated reigning world champion Torbjörn Blomdahl in three sets with the excellent average (GD) of 2,500 in the first round . In the quarterfinals, however, the talented young Italian stumbled against the Belgian veteran Raymond Steylaerts with 0: 3 sets. Other favorites had to give up in this lap. Ceulemans, Kobayashi and Komori were eliminated by Bitalis, Dielis and van Bracht. For Richard Bitalis it was the first win against the Belgian after a lot of attempts. Bitalis played the tournament of his life and won the World Cup tournament, which was played for the first time on four sets in the final. The allocation of world ranking points was also reorganized from this tournament onwards. The Japanese Yoshihiko Mano and the Dutch Rini van Bracht qualified for the 1989 seeding list in Spa.

The exact price money could not be determined from the documents. However, as in all BWA World Cup tournaments, it was at least 100,000 DM.
