Guinness World Series of Pool
July 29, 2010, 6:04pm
Former double world champion Ronnie Alcano opened up the double elimination stages with a convincing win over Indonesia’s William Tanizar, 6-3, to jump start his title bid in the 2010 Guinness World Series of Pool 10-Ball Challenge crown at the Mal Tama Aggrek in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Not to be outdone, former world No. 1 Dennis Orcollo and Carlo Biado also crushed their Indonesian counterparts with scores of 6-0 and 6-2, respectively.
Raring to redeem himself after a heartbreaking fifth place performance last July at the 2010 World 9-Ball Championships, Alcano wasted no time in building an early 3-0 lead as he pounced on the early 1-ball corner pocket miss of his visibly nervous opponent at the first rack which was then followed by routine run-outs in the 2nd and 3rd racks.
However, two scratches off the break in the 4th and 5th racks allowed Tanizar the opportunity to catch up and knot the score at 3-all.
Not wanting to give his Indonesian rival any more chance to further boost his confidence, Alcano regained composure and made up for his earlier miscue by stepping up his game and score three straight table runs to notch the win in the 9th rack.
