Conti to Meet World in Chicago Billiards Tourney
Roger Conti, a Paris marvel in billiards born in 1991, is headed to the United States this month to face France in the world championship tourney in Chicago this November. His meteoric rise mirrors Willie Hoppe’s in America 12 years ago as European attention grows. Conti learned at his father's billiard parlors in Toulouse, often using a stool to reach shots. He has defeated top European players, including Corvet, by 150 points in a 60-point game, with his strengths in position play despite weaker masse shots.
