The men's event was won by Jayson Shaw, who defeated Eklent Kaçi in the final 9–8. Kristina Tkach was the defending champion of the women's event, having defeated Marharyta Fefilava in the previous year's final. Tkach, however, lost in the quarter-finals to Aleksandra Guleikova. Jasmin Ouschan met Guleikova in the final, and won 7–1. Planned future Euro Tour tournaments in 2020 were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tournament summary

[edit]
Jasmin Ouschan looking to the right
Austria's Jasmin Ouschan won the women's event.

There were 211 entrants into the men's event, which began with a double-elimination round.[13] Having been defeated by Tobias Bongers, Chris Melling was eliminated from the competition after a 8–9 loss to Thorsten Hohmann.[14] Former European Pool Championships winner Fabio Petroni lost in his opening round 6–9 to Wilhelm Georg, but qualified for the main stages.[14] In the loser's qualification round, Ruslan Chinakhov and Mark Gray were both defeated, by Mieszko Fortuński and Sergei Luzker.[15][16]

Two former world pool champions Joshua Filler and Fedor Gorst met in the round of 32, which went hill-hill, and Gorst ran the rack to win 9–8.[15] Female player Marharyta Fefilava reached the last 32, defeating Quintin Pongers in the second loser's round to qualify.[16] However, she lost 7–9 to Mickey Krause.[16] Jayson Shaw defeated Albin Ouschan and Jani Uski 9–8, Tomasz Kapłan 9–4 before defeating Gorst 9–3 to reach the final.[16] Eklent Kaçi defeated Luzker and Karol Skowerski 9–6 before completing a whitewash over Maximilian Lechner 9–0. Kaçi then beat Mateusz Śniegocki 9–6 to reach the final.[16][17] The final, contested between Shaw and Kaçi, saw Kaçi lead 8–7. He played a safety shot on the 2-ball in rack 16, rather than play a pot, which Shaw described as the "wrong decision". Shaw won the rack, and then the decider to win his first Euro Tour event.[17][18]

There were 48 entries into the women's event.[19][20] Oliwia Zalewska, who had won the previous two Euro Tour event's completed two 7–6 victories over Lynn Pijpers and Valeriia Trushevskaia to qualify for the last 16.[21] The highest ranked player, Kristina Tkach won over Elise Qiu and Monika Zabek. The second highest ranked player, Jasmin Ouschan won both her qualifying matches 7–2.[21][22][23]

Defending champion Kristina Tkach completed a whitewash over Tina Vogelmann, but lost in the quarter-finals to Aleksandra Guleikova. Having defeated Bojana Sarac 7–5 in the last 16, Guleikova beat Ina Kaplan 7–3 to reach the final. Ouschan defeated Yini Gaspar, Kateryna Zlateva and Vania Franco to reach the final.[20][24] Ouschan won the final 7–1 and commented that the event was "preparation" for events later in the year.[24]
