Nüßle makes it through qualifying
“These victories simply mean everything to me”
Snooker national champion Florian Nüßle has achieved a historic success in Barnsley (England). The man from Salzburg qualified for the World Snooker Tour. On Monday, the 23-year-old will start at the Welsh Open.
"I've already had a few successes at other levels, but these victories here simply mean everything to me because they took place on the professional stage, exactly where I want to be." Snooker ace Florian Nüßle's joy was clear to see. The Salzburger-by-choice was one of only three amateurs to make it through to the main competition of the Welsh Open, which starts on Monday. There he will face three-time world champion Mark Williams from Wales.
Nüßle shone in the first qualifying round on Wednesday against the current number 75 in the world rankings, Jiang Jun, with a 143 total clearance in the opening frame and held his nerve in the decisive seventh frame after an even game. Against Jun's compatriot Liu Hongyu (number 63 in the world), the man from Salzburg repeated this mental performance on Thursday and was delighted to advance to the Welsh Open main competition for the first time.
