PREDATOR GP 3-CUSHION LADIES: KARINA JETTEN (NL) ON THE TOP
Today it was Karina's day in Herstal. In the second semifinal she had to recover a very hard match against the Danish Sørensen; Jetten needed a strong comeback and a victory on the finish line (30-29). Earlier in the first semifinal Klompenhouwer had less problems to win against Turkish Degener (30-15).
The final was an all-Dutch affair but it was not going as you could have expected. In the middle of the match Karina took the lead and Therese was not ready to react. Jetten played well, used a run of 7 and reached a 10 points advantage that was too much of a climb even for the Queen. The final score of 30-24 crowned Karina Jetten winner of this Predator Grand Prix 3-Cushion Ladies. Klompenhouwer is the runner up. Bronze for Sørensen (DK) and Degener (TR).
