Written by Eva S. Flint
After a very exiting match against former World Champion Luigi Villa, Philip Vischjager could call himself World Champion 2006. Philip was ahead in the match most of the time but Villa caught up and evens the score at 19-19/25. After a few more games the score is 23-23/25. Either player didn't doubled until late in the game where Philip had taken a strong lead at cubes Villa. It seemed like a take but Villa passed it. The next game was really intense and both players got their chances to end the match and finally Philip did. Villa showed a lot of heart playing really aggressive making the match exciting and enjoyable to watch.
