News and updates from the VIENNA SNOOKER OPEN, an annual pro-am event by Austria's leading Snooker Club '15 Reds'. The 2024 edition runs from May 9 to 12.
Dear snooker fans & friends,
It is with a heavy heart that we must inform you that the Vienna Snooker Open will not be able to take place in 2026. The reason for this is the Eurovision Song Contest, which will be held in Vienna immediately after our finals weekend.
This makes it incredibly difficult, both organisationally and financially, to find accommodation for our international guests. BUT we are mobilising all our forces to come back in full strength in 2027 for another edition of our favourite pro-am tournament!

We had a lot of fun and good food at our players party!! 🍴🎉
And our sponsor "baketina" sweetened it up for us with some excellent bakery! We are very grateful for their effort 🙏

Both players can't get to a frame-winning break as both struggle a bit to find their rythm. In a hard fought third frame Alexander Ursenbacher prevails to take the 2-1 lead.
