27th September – 2015 Dafabet World Cup of Pool Chinese Taipei take World Cup in thriller The Final Chinese Taipei 10-8 England B CHINESE TAIPEI came from 5-1 and 7-4 down to win their first Dafabet World Cup of Pool, beating England B 10-8 in the final. It looked like a case of so near yet so far yet again for Chinese Taipei, four-times semi-finalists in the nine-year history of the scotch doubles event and represented this year by Ko Pin Yi and Chang Yu Lung. But a run of five consecutive racks saw them overcome their 7-4 deficit to arrive on the hill. They lost control of the table at that stage and the England pair of Mark Gray and Daryl Peach clawed one back before a missed 3-ball proved costly for the home team. For Ko it completed a dream fortnight after he won the WPA World 9-ball Championship in Doha last week. Earlier in the tournament this England side had spoken of trying to win each ‘mini session’, the three racks played […]

Taiwan’s Ko Pin Yi wins his first World 9-ball Championship with a gritty 13-11 win over the USA’s Shane Van Boening Final Day Report from the 2015 World 9-ball Championship by Ted Lerner – WPA Press Officer Photos Courtesy Richard Walker & WPA (Doha, Qatar)–Showing why he is not only one of pool’s most talented performers, but perhaps its most hardcore player as well, Taiwan’s Ko Pin Yi captured his first World 9-ball Championship tonight in Doha, trading blows with the USA’s Shane Van Boening for two and a half hours before pulling away in crunch time to win 13-11. Both players put in gritty, high quality performances, with brilliant shot making under pressure, coupled with just a handful of errors from both superstars. The outcome was in doubt right down to the dramatic end, but it was Ko who seemed to will himself over the finish line for the historic win. The win is the 26 year old Ko’s second world championship this year, after capturing the 10-ball world title in the Philippines back […]

With the field at the 2015 World 9-ball Championship now down to the final 32, it’s clear that the sprint to the finish line is anyone’s game. Day 5 Report from the 2015 World 9-ball Championship by Ted Lerner – WPA Press Officer Photos Courtesy Richard Walker & WPA (Doha, Qatar)— So you want to be the champion of the world? Well good because now comes the hard part. After a day of weeding out the pretenders from the contenders at the Al Arabi Sports Club, and with the field having been halved from 64 to 32 players, the 2015 World 9-ball Championship is now headed for what will surely be a dramatic climax over the next two days. Thursday promises to offer up enough drama, nerves and memorable pool to last many years as anyone who has designs on 9-ball’s biggest prize will be put through the meat grinder, with the field being whittled down to just four players at the end of the day’s play.

Saudi Arabia’s Abdulrahman Al Amar leads a crop of surprising players who have booked their spots in the Final 64 of the World 9-ball Championship Day 3 Report from the 2015 World 9-ball Championship by Ted Lerner – WPA Press Officer Photos Courtesy Richard Walker & WPA (Doha, Qatar)–If the results of Day 3 at the 2015 World 9-ball Championship are any indication, change in the sport of pool is most definitely in the air. Today’s three sessions were given over to all winners’ side matches in the 16 groups with 32 spots available in the coveted single elimination round of 64, which begins on Wednesday. Losers in Monday’s matches knew they’d be given another chance to advance on Tuesday so the brutal pressure of judgement day, where every match is do-or-die, wasn’t quite as bad. Still, five former World 9-ball champions and the current defending champion all had chances to advance today. All lost and will have to come back again for one final go on Tuesday. It was an excellent day for the […]

September 2015 wird in Doha/Katar die diesjährige 9 Ball Weltmeisterschaft ausgetragen. Die 2015 WPA World 9 Ball Championship läuft bis zum 18. September 2015 und es werden so ziemlich alle Stars der Pool Billard Welt in Doha anzutreffen sein. Die 9 Ball WM gehört jedes zu den Events mit der größten Strahlkraft und dem größten Prestige. Und kaum ein anderes Turnier ist wohl so schwer zu gewinnen wie die Titelkämpfe im Al Arabi Sports Club. Extreme Temperaturen draußen, Klimaanlagen die den Spielort ziemlich runterkühlen und die besten Spieler der Welt. Leider hat es dieser WM in den letzten Jahren ein wenig an Atmosphäre gefehlt, gerade dann wenn die „Local Heroes“ ausgeschieden waren wirkte die Stimmung ziemlich zurückhaltend, wir werden sehen, wie es sich in diesem Jahr verhält und sind gespannt auf den Auftritt des Lokalmatadoren Waleed Majid. Titelverteidiger ist der Niederländer Niels […]
