The two-handed bowler from Vimmerby - who plays for Team Pergamon on a daily basis - got the best possible start at the World Cup during the qualifiers for the initial singles distance.

Over five series, he was noted for 1345 points (269-259-279-279-259), which is the highest beat ever at a world championship.

- It's clear that it's fun.

I think we calculated that I have eight nine-blocks and the rest strikes.

There is not much to take off then.

Of course it's fun.

It is something special to be included in the history books, says Jesper Svensson to swebowl.se.

"Gives the hell out of thinking"

- In training, it did not feel like I was striking more than anyone else.

Then it always gets a little different when it's a competition and this time it was maybe to my advantage.

Swebowl: How do you hit as high as 1345?

-

I wonder that too.

I think I give a damn about thinking so much about it so maybe I can do it again.

Jesper Svensson has previously, among other things, taken ten titles on the American professional tour, World Cup bronze in triathlon and was named Newcomer of the Year at the Sports Gala 2017.

Of course, he leads the qualifiers halfway.

The 32 best after ten series go on to match games in groups of eight players where everyone meets everyone.

After that, the playoffs await, starting with the quarterfinals.
