Career title number 13 on the Royal Pro Home Tour for Andreas Efler, third win of the season for Ernst-Jan Driessen: The two leaders in the discipline rankings of the 2021/22 season impressively consolidated their top positions last weekend. Efler won the three cushion doubles on Saturday (May 21st) in a superior manner with his team partner Zoran Gajs. In the five pins tournament (May 22nd), the Oranje from Helmond also didn't miss a beat and triumphed unbeaten. For Driessen's doubles partner Marco Wolfs it was the first Home Tour title on his first participation.

Before the final showdown on June 4th/5th with two final singles competitions, Efler (three cushion) and Driessen (five pins) lead the rankings of the €10,000 Home Tour 2021/22. Driessen leads calculated in terms of loss points - after the last tournament, the second deletion result per player is taken out of the ranking - the field 9 points ahead of Jimmy Riml and is therefore the de facto winner of the five pins overall ranking. The battle for the three cushion crown has not yet been decided. There, after adjusted ranking Efler only leads 2 pts ahead of Georg Schmied, who still has intact chances of winning the season ranking, but the starting position speaks for Efler. Third-placed Tay-Dien Truong still has arithmetical chances in the three cushion overall ranking, but realistically it shouldn't quite be possible anymore.
