THE DRAMA OF 9-BALL
32 PLAYERS ADVANCE TO THE KNOCKOUT STAGE AS CLIFFHANGERS ABOUND AT THE WORLD 9-BALL CHAMPIONSHIP IN QATAR

By Ted Lerner
With 17 Filipinos in the field of 128 players, including the legendary Efren Reyes, and Francisco Bustamante, the venue is never short of large and vocal crowds of Filipino overseas workers and this certainly spices up the already pressure filled atmosphere. They came out in force today as the winners of each group faced off for a quick chance out of the danger zone of the group stage and into the final 64, including Reyes who played in the first session.

STARS RISE, A BIG STAR FALLS AT WOMEN’S WORLD 9-BALL CHAMPIONSHIP

Ga Young Kim

HAVING WON THREE IN A ROW, CHINESE WOMEN LOOK TO DOMINATE YET AGAIN IN SHENYANG, CHINA

With short races to 7 racks, the world’s best pool talent on hand, and the pressure of a world title at stake, pool fans have come to expect plenty of upsets in the opening stages of world championships.

But for Chinese 9-ball fans, Monday produced one of the biggest downers imaginable as China’s wildly popular Pan Xiaoting lost twice on the very first day of the 2012 Women’s World 9-ball Championship and was sent packing from the 64 player field.

It is in this atmosphere that the other big names in the women’s game will have to contend. Hall of Famer Allison Fisher, World Ten Ball Champion Kelly Fisher, and two time US Open Champion Ga Young Kim are all big time stars in their own right in China.  But the home team seems to carry a massive advantage on Chinese soil.  The numbers certainly speak for themselves. Over half the field of 64 players entered in this year’s championship is from China.
