In the seniors final, Henrique Correia met Senharip Azar (SWE). Correia took a quick 2:0 lead. In rack three, Azar had a shot on the 9-ball but he missed it. That was unnecessary and probably due to weak nerves. Correia capitalized from that mistake and went ahead 3:0. In the flow of the match, Correia seemed to be the player equipped with the better nerves. He got to a 5:1 advantage over Azar. All Azar could do was win one more rack. Correia was simply too dominant for him in that final match. 8:2 was the final result in favor of Correia
