One of the most popular players o­n the world circuit, the happy-go-lucky Salvas gets by with a frenetic playing style that would give speed merchant Tony Drago a run for his money. Although he has never won a major international tournament, Salvas is a consistent performer in the highest company and is currently ranked No.6 o­n the highly competitive UPA Tour in the States. Over the years, Salvas has won over 100 titles in his North America Canada including the national championship and is still playing as well as ever at 41. The question is whether Salvas has what it takes to triumph in Egmond? The shorter race will undoubtedly favour him and he is certainly a player the others will want to avoid. A good outside bet.
