Bratislava received its trophy for winning the tournament from Sports Minister Radostin Vassilev, who was among the spectators at the final at the Universiade Hall in Sofia.
“I am extremely happy that this is the first cup I am presenting,” said Minister Vassilev, after awarding Krastev. – I’m impressed with the game of both, I watch snooker, but I’m not very good with the stick. I wish snooker a lot of success on the Bulgarian holiday over the years, lights and I hope you will win many more cups. “
In May, Velichkov will succeed in the first tournament of the Snooker Grand Prix, and then Bratislava was eliminated in the group stage.
“I did not expect such a definite result, the match was very contested, Georgi had great chances for at least two frames, but I took them and that decided the match – said after the final Krastev. “I expected this to be at least one or two frames.”
“I was left with the impression that long-range shots didn’t work for me, but it turned out to be the opposite. Georgi made some mistakes in defense, which helped me. In the third frame, which was my strongest, I made a series of 62 points. This was the only frame in which I took the initiative, in the other initiatives it was with Georgi, which made it seriously difficult for me.
“The level of play in this tournament was much better than last, it happens in just a few months, Bulgarian players have serious potential.”
“I won the previous final with 5: 0, now you lose with 0: 5, I hope that next time the result will turn in my favor. I think he plays well, but Bratislava showed a very high level and was very consistent. He made a few mistakes, but failed to use them. It was my best match of the tournament, but it was not enough. “
