The tournament was in a very quiet old convent but on sunday morning there was a flea-market outside and loudspeakers were placed right under the tourneyroom window. Maybe this inspired Marc?
The semifinals were won by Takuji Kashiwabara and Marc Tastet. Francesco Marconi and Roel Hobo proceeded to the playoff for 3rd and 4th place and that match was won by Francesco Marconi, 53 - 11. Two frenchmen in the final of the EGP Barcelona and Marc Tastet won the first game very convincingly 46 - 18. The second game was more close, but it was also a win for Marc. Marc was winner of the European Grand Prix in 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1997 will he succeed to win the EGP again 16 years later? |
