ISTORIE


A doua ediție ca turneu independent. La Fürth, totul a început în 2004, când s-a ținut un pro-am botezat Grand Prix Fürth și rebotezat, la următoarele două ediții, Fürth German Open. De fapt, era un turneu destinat amatorilor, dar la care erau invitați și unii jucători profesioniști, pentru ridicarea ștachetei & prestigiului.

Apoi, aproape sub ochii noștri, a murit Paul Hunter. Snookerlandul întreg asistase la chinul lui, martor cu atât mai îndurerat cu cât știa și Blonduțul, știam și noi care urma să fie deznodământul. Atunci când Paul a pășit în veșnicie – și nu în „neființă” cum spun ateii & idioții (scuze pentru pleonasm !) – toți au simțit nevoia să-i omagieze amintirea, doar că germanii s-au mișcat mai repede decât compatrioții lui Paul : în 2007, adică în anul imediat următor morții acestuia, Fürth German Open a devenit Paul Hunter Classic. Statutul a rămas același încă doi ani, dar (poate sub protecția blondă a vreunui înger snookerist) atât ștacheta cât și prestigiul s-au ridicat în mod constant.

În urma Revoluției hearniene, turneul a fost integrat în circuitul profesionist, unde, timp de șapte sezoane, a constituit un reper de bază din ceea ce s-a numit, mai întâi, „PTC”, apoi „Circuitul european WPBSA”. Asta n-a însemnat însă modificarea concepției despre linia de start, adică a statutului efectiv : a fost un turneu de clasament din categoria celor „minore”. Dar ce înseamnă o denumire ?!... Turneul a crescut valoric și, ca urmare, a supraviețuit și vremii PTC-urilor. Astfel, ediția din 2016 a marcat trecerea PHC-ului în categoria turneelor de clasament de sine stătătoare, iar istoria sa îi conferă o legitimitate indiscutabilă în calendarul competițional.
