Komula Leads Race to Ally Pally!

Jarkko Komula leads the Scandinavian race to Alexandra Palace after claiming No.1 spot in the SDC OOM after victory in Sunday’s Pro Tour 4. 

Komula faced fellow Finn, Ulf Ceder in the Final, Ceder’s second in as many days. 

Ceder had dropped just one leg by the time he faced Sweden’s Magnus Caris in the Quarter Final’s, a repeat of Saturday’s Semi Final, which Ceder also won.  He ran out a 6-4 winner on this occasion to set up a Semi Final match against Finland’s Marko Kantele, who he comfortably beat 6 -1 to set up a Final showdown with Komula. 

3^rd seed Komula had dispatched of resurgent Dane, Per Laursen, 6-2 in the Semi’s after having enjoyed victories against Petajamaki, Suopanaki, Elffors and Niskala en route to the Final.

Komula proved too much for Ceder in the Final claiming the €1,200 first prize with a comfortable 6-1 win over the 4^th seed.

Komula now tops the OOM as we turn our attentions to Pro Tour 5 and 6 in Solna, Sweden.
