Christian Rudolph (born 14 January 1965 in Cologne) is a German carom billiards player and multiple world champion in three-cushion billiards.[1] He is the son of carom billiards champion Ernst Rudolph.[2]
His father Ernst, a 17-time German champion and two-time European Vice Champion, was an important German billiard players of the 1950s and 1960s. At the age of nine years Christian was practicing in the two father-operated billiard-halls in Cologne.[2]
Rudolph practices three hours a day at the table and one hour at the gym. He ignored the typical entry into the game of carom billiards, starting with straight rail, and played three-cushion from the beginning on. Rudolph still lives (as of 2017) in his birthplace Cologne.[2]
