LATEST WORLD NINEBALL TOUR RANKINGS RAXX POOL ROOM OPEN 2021 US Open Pool champion Biado made the perfect preparation for a return to Harrah’s Resort, Atlantic City, for the 46th installment of pool’s most historic major from September 25-30th live on Sky Sports in the UK & Ireland and DAZN in the USA, by landing the Raxx Pool Room Open in a hill-hill thriller with Germany’s World Cup of Pool finalist Mortiz Neuhausen. The Black Tiger was the cream of a strong 126-man field in West Hempstead, New York, having beaten the likes of European Open champion David Alcaide, former World Pool Master Alex Kazakis and 2022 US Open Pool Championship finalist Max Lechner en-route to the final. 19-year-old prodigy Neuhausen had showcased his qualities throughout the tournament, having sent Biado to the loser’s bracket in a commanding 9-4 display earlier in the tournament.
