history

In a tournament of surprises, Dick Jaspers was able to gain a lead of 45 points over his greatest competitor Torbjörn Blomdahl with his ninth World Cup victory . The tournament started with a little sensation. The current overall World Cup winner, world and European champion, lost in the first round to the young Spanish junior European champion from 1997 Xavier Yeste after a 2: 1 lead with 2: 3 sets. Dick Jaspers narrowly escaped the same fate. Against the young Dane Jacob Haack-Sörensen, he won the fifth set with 15:13 in twelve recordings in his 3-2 victory. The record world champion Raymond Ceulemans also failed in the first round against the Dutchman Ben Velthuis. With relatively clear results, the Portuguese Jorge Theriaga was able to fight his way to the final. Here he was very narrowly defeated by Jaspers with 14:15 in twelve shots in the fifth and thus decisive set. The good Dutch result was complemented by Ben Velthuis and Raimond Burgman, who both took third place.
