Henryk Marszalek, in a sensational debut performance, has clinched the prestigious Bermuda Open snooker title. The newcomer pulled off a clean sweep victory over seasoned campaigner John Orr in the best-of-seven frame final, played at WSC on Sunday, May 4th.
Marszalek, who was part of a successful snooker league team earlier last month, showed no signs of nerves as he romped to a dominant 4-0 win over former champion Orr. The frames were secured with scores of 59-12, 48-24, 52-11, and 60-26, leaving Orr with little opportunity to establish himself in the match.
This victory marks a remarkable achievement, making Marszalek the first debutant in the Bermuda Open to win the blue riband event in their maiden season in the league since Paul Fedden achieved the same feat back in 2017.
Dziak and Bailey Advance in Bermuda Open Doubles
Meanwhile, the Bermuda Open Doubles tournament is progressing, with a quarter-final clash taking place last Thursday, May 14th, at WWC. The pairing of Todd Dziak and Nadanja Bailey proved too strong for Stephen Tucker and Keith Smith, securing a comfortable 2-0 victory. The frames were won 57-24 and 52-22.
Dziak and Bailey now advance to the semi-finals, where they will face the formidable duo of Steven Bremar and Zane DeSilva. The winner of that semi-final will then be in contention for a potential final showdown against the experienced pairing of Paul Fedden and Tyler Moniz, with the date for the semi-final and final to be confirmed.
