„Vivian is a riot! She knows how to engage the audience onto her side and is one of the most fun players to watch in the sport“, said Shari Stauch of Pool & Billiards Magazine.

„I think the AM8.com Queens Cup is a great event, and it is an honor to represent your country. Your playing with the best players in the world. You can’t ask for anything more! Villarreal explained. When asked what would be the key to success this year for Team West she replied, “ Staying focused and playing smart. If we do this, we can win. It’s also going to depend on the breaks, who has control after the break.“

„It’s a pretty well known fact that Vivian has a ultra vibrant personality. She can affect the teams with her dynamics and of course, her ability to play fast and loose at a world class level could be a factor. She had a fantastic result at the Women’s International Pool Championship and looks in top form. She’s a great addition for an event of this magnitude“, said Charlie Williams , Executive Producer of the AM8.com Queens Cup .

The Queens Cup will showcase the rivalry between the Asians and their western counterparts in Europe and USA, very similar to the Ryder Cup in golf or Davis Cup in tennis.

Captains will be put to the test to create the best strategy in partnerships and chemistry of match-ups. If the matches go 9 to 9 hill-hill, a final 4-on-4 play will set the scene for the dramatic conclusion.

She turned pro in 1991 and finished 3rd at the World Championship just a year later. She then won the WPBA  National Championship and a few years later  the ESPN World Championship. She retained the #1 ranking in women’s pool five times in her career.
