Ralf Souquet – GermanyAge - 37 (Born 29 November ’68) Based - Manching, Germany Nickname - The Kaiser Hobbies - Borussia Monchengladbach, Cinema, Music Cue - Joss Achievements - 2005 & 2003 BCA Open Champion, 2002 US Open Champion, 1996 World Pool Champion, 4 time World Pool Masters Champion, Current European 9 Ball Champion. Many German and European Championships, 2001 World Pool Championship runner-up. One of the world’s premier tournament players, the soft-spoken Souquet has been at the top of the hill for nearly 15 years now and his powers of concentration and methodical shot-making show no signs of diminishing. Despite a resumé steeped in titles, the Kaiser’s form this year has been not far short of sensational. A win in the 9 Ball division of the gamblers’ enclave of the Derby City Classic in January got the ball rolling. Souquet then followed that up with the European 9 Ball Championship in Brandenberg, Germany in March and then in May he won the BCA Open, reckoned to be one of the games majors, for the second time. Souquet went through Feijen, Cory Deuel, Reyes and Johnny Archer in successive matches and there aren’t too many pool players alive capable of doing that. His current form, coupled with the fact that he has a wonderful track record in the Masters – he won the event in ’94, ’96, ’00 and ’02 – make Souquet a red-hot contender for this year’s title and his first round match against Efren Reyes should be a corker. |
