German Player on the Main tour 2010/2011

Maybe, but not really. Those players have been around the greatest players and greatest coaches since they were little children. What more could they want?

They had a big head start over someone from Germany like Patrick, let alone over someone like that Igor guy from Brazil who played on 10ft tables.

i do get what you saying the only hope they got to get better is play on the main tour get better then go home and then youngsters in germany,wherever would have a better player to play against and standards will get better.

Igor -I think- is a wise decision. His run in the last amateur championship was very impressive.

Patrick though isn't even the first choice in Germany (I'd've preferred Lasse Muenstermann) and I'm much sceptic about his second chance. Also the business aspect goes down the drain when the protagonist frequently loses his qualifying matches

I would have thought Lasse Munstermann is a more logical choice on the main tour. He can actually compete at that level, Patrick can't.

but where is the proof Lasse Munstermann can compete at that level.

he is in his 30s now .

hm. Well his appearance in the first PTC event was a short one. Better Luck next time, Patrick.

The Paul Hunter Classic a couple of years back, and he had a great round against Higgins in the World Series last year. Not much, fair enough, but more than Patrick.

bitte, das ist geiler song

LOL my german is bad, learned it for a year at school lol

should be good for them having a player from germany on the main tour

well all that was said here about politics behind Patrick's nomination may be true, but as a German (please forgive me) it is cool for me to actually have the chance to see a player from my country on the main tour so... Hurra politics

I don´t think you´ll ever see him playing in a ranking tournament as I don´t see him qualifying for any. He has been on the main tour before but dropped out after one season.
