The 2009 ACTEBA Open Singles Champion is:
Congratulations to Matt on winning his 4th Open Singles title, to go with his 2000, 2003 and 2004 victories. Number 4 puts Matt level with Steve Woods for most Open Singles Titles, and into 2nd place for overall Open Titles (with his 1999 & 2005 Open Doubles Titles).
7 weeks of Open Singles (and 3,988 frames) culminated in Saturday’s Top 4 Shootout, with Matt taking on defending champion Dean Welsh, Australian Under 21 Champion Daniel Sostarko and first time Top 16 qualifier Stephen Thomas. Unlike last year, where Dean had to start way back in round one, all four players were seeded, with Steve the lowest at 27.
Unfortunately, Daniel was unable to compete on the day, changing the dynamics of the shootout entirely. As Matt and Steve commenced the first match of race to 7, this left Dean to sit and wait for an hour and 45 minutes for his first frame. Similarly, Matt and Steve were to have similar waits later in the day.
