slecht dag voor ons nederlanders ver weg en dichtbij
NEW YORK - De 20-jarige Sander Kaasjager uit Huizen is er dinsdagavond niet in geslaagd de finale van de Cyberathlete Professional League (CPL) World Tour te winnen. In het Nokia Theatre op Times Square in New York was zijn eeuwige rivaal Jonathan Wendel (Fatal1ty) deze keer de beste. De 24-jarige Amerikaan won 150.000 dollar, het hoogste bedrag dat ooit is uitgekeerd op een gametoernooi. Kaasjager komt vrijdag met 'slechts' 100.000 dollar thuis. De CPL World Tour vormt het officieuze wereldkampioenschap voor spelers van het schietspel Painkiller.
Just under a year after winning his first World Open squash title in Doha, France’s Thierry Lincou is back in Qatar’s capital city where he is seeded to become a first-time winner of the Qatar Classic, the second PSA Super Series Platinum event of the year which boasts a $125,000 prize fund. Lincou, the world No1 from Marseille, will face qualifier Laurens Jan Anjema in the first round today (Tuesday) after the Dutchman survived one of the longest qualifying finals battles to beat England’s Stacey Ross 11-5 5-11 8-11 11-10 11-8 in 82 minutes. The Frenchman is expected to face Peter Nicol in the quarter-finals. The sixth-seeded Englishman is a two-times winner of the Qatar Classic trophy – in 2001 and 2002 – and takes on Kuwaiti Ali Alramezi in the first round.
