2014 WPA Women’s World 9-Ball Championship Guilin Stadium & Dream City The Olympic City of Guilin Guilin China www.my147.com www.top147.com - live score www.alison-chang.com www.wpa-pool.com - Twitter - Facebook
12-18 October 2014
Click the image to view the full size photograph - use "back" to return here All photography courtesy of ©Jin and/or ©Alison Chang and used with permission Facing sudden elimination on Day 1, Great Britain's Kelly Fisher shows Austria's Jasmin Ouschan the door and survives to play another day at the Women's World 9-ball Championship.
Kelly Fisher has been around professional pool long enough to know that sometimes in this sport, as in life, you have to go through the devil's playground to get to heaven.
The devil's playground in this case for the 2012 World 9-ball Champion was losing her first round match on day 1 today at the Women’s World 9-ball Championship against hall of famer and pool’s most recognized personality, Jeanette Lee, 7-4. The Brit, who three months ago had open heart surgery to repair a congenital defect, had trouble with the lightning quick speed of the table. The match was even halfway, but Fisher gave away too many shots and the Black Widow waltzed. In the double elimination group stages, Fisher knew her back was suddenly against the wall.
“Now it’s cutthroat time,” she said while waiting for her next match which could see her go an embarrassing two-and-out. “There’s no second chances.”
If having to tangle with the likes of Lee wasn't enough, Fisher then had to step into the ring in a do or die match with none other than Austria’s Jasmin Ouschan, who had just lost a cliff hanger to Japan’s Chichiro Kawahara, 7-6. If you’re getting the idea that this is the proverbial “Group of Death,” you’re absolutely correct. All four of these players are capable of taking the world title.

"Read More..." for the details.
Click the image to view the full size photograph - use "back" to return here With one of pool’s stars on the verge of taking a rapid road out of town, Fisher and Ouschan put on a splendid show. Ouschan stood in front of clear table down 6-5 but incredibly missed an easy 3-ball to hand Fisher the match, 7-5.
“Absolutely I’m relieved,” said the clearly delighted Brit afterward. “ I’m not out of the woods yet but I’m really happy to have won that match. I would’ve really really hated to go two and out, especially in my first world event back. It was a flip of the coin between me and Jasmin. I certainly got the rolls on the break, as I was on a shot every time and she wasn’t. It was very close. Every time I missed she punished me. Every time she missed, I punished her. It was a great match because so much was riding on it, so I expected a scrappy match.”
With a chance to move through to the final 32 single elimination knockout on Thursday, Fisher knew she had, for the moment , pulled the narrow escape. She was hoping the scare today would lead to something positive as, more often than not in pool, champions have had to go through death defying cliff hangers along the way before they move on to win.
Said Fisher: “When champions have won an event, it’s often through a tough route, something funky has happened. Fingers crossed that that is my destiny. But I have to take it just one match at a time. “
Day 1 at the 2014 WPA Women’s World 9-ball Championship opened up just after lunch at the Guilin Gym in this beautiful city with all 64 players seeing action. The field is as good as this event has ever seen in its 23 editions as all 25 of the WPA’s top 25 women are here. Combine this with the short races, and unpredictable table conditions and it was clear that anything could happen.
Defending champion Han Yu survived a scare from fellow Chinese player Chen Xue, barely winning, 7-6. The rest of China’s stars all won today, including 2007 World Champion and superstar Pan Xiaoting, 2009 World Champion Liu Shasha, 2010 Champion Fu Xiao Fang, and the player everyone is expecting will soon win, Chen Siming.
Taiwan brought its usual high powered contingent across the Strait and, based on today’s results, you can almost guarantee at least one Taiwanese player will appear in Saturday’s semi-finals. Chou Chieh Yu, Tsai Pei Chen and Tan Ho Yun all won their first rounds matches. The biggest surprise for Taiwan was the quick exit of last year’s runner up Lin Yuan-Chun, who lost two straight.
Click the image to view the full size photograph - use "back" to return here Hall of Famers Karen Corr and Allison Fisher won easily, as did the Philippines Rubilen Amit. The Philippines Iris Ranola was sent home after losing two straight. But the Philippines still has two players left with the addition of 15 year old Chezka Centeno. Centeno came to Guilin with her mom and dad and entered one of the qualifiers, which she won. She lost her first match today, but rebounded with a solid 7-4 over Poland’s Katarzyna Wesolowska, to get one more chance on Thursday.
Korea’s Yu Ram Cha, who is treated like a movie star in China and is followed by camera toting fans everywhere she goes, got taken to school by Corr but easily won her losers side match to survive. Fellow Korean Ga Young Kim, one of the favorites to take the title here this week, also won.
In all, 12 players have already been handed their pink slips. By the end of Thursday’s play, the field will be down to the final 32, who will then play single elimination knockout, race to 9, alternate break. The semi-finals and final will be played Saturday.
With so many great women players from all over the globe doing battle on the cloth pitch, there is bound to be plenty of heartbreak, tension and near misses to come. Nobody ever waltzes to the winners circle in pool. In fact, a trip to the devils playground is par for the course in this sport. After her first round win over Fisher today, Jeanette Lee called it perfectly, noting that pressure and tension is something all players, including the eventual champion, have to take to heart.
“There’s a lot of first round jitters,” Lee said. “It’s the same for everyone I know. You always hope to have an easy match your first round. But I never want to win a tournament without having to play all the best. I don’t want to win a tournament because I got a good draw. I want to have to battle beast after beast. I want to play them all, maybe just not in the first round, maybe in the second round. Once you know that your back is against the wall, this is the way it is, you better learn to like it.”
GLAMOUR GIRLS, ETHNIC CULTURE AND 9-BALL POOL
Click the image to view the full size photograph - use "back" to return here All photography courtesy of ©Jin and/or ©Alison Chang and used with permission The 2104 Women's World 9-ball kicks off with a lavish opening ceremony that could only happen in the world's most populous nation.
Visitors to China, especially those traveling here for events, conferences, trade shows, and other gatherings are often left in awe at the over-the-top hospitality that their Chinese hosts generously put on offer. This is especially true prior to the event beginning as attendees can find themselves being treated to lavish meals, cultural performances, sometimes copious amounts of fire-starting alcohol, long winded and important sounding speeches by dignitaries, and plenty of good natured back slapping and glad handing.
I have been to China perhaps one dozen times over the last five years to cover pool tournaments. The size of the welcome is not always the same prior to the beginning of a tournament, as it depends on who is promoting the event. One thing you can be sure of in China, however, is that the organizers will want to make an impression. The word “small” doesn’t seem to translate well when it comes to hospitality in the world’s most populous nation.
Click the image to view the full size photograph - use "back" to return here I had an inkling something big was in the works when I arrived at the quiet and clean Guilin airport yesterday. As I walked past the disinterested customs guys, I was met by a friendly English speaking university student volunteer holding a large placard with my name on it.(It was by far the biggest sign amongst the few people waiting for arriving passengers.)
Cindy, as she called herself, escorted me to a brand new, large black Mercedes, where a smart looking chauffer in a crisp black suit took my bag. I stretched my tired legs out, which didn’t even get close to the front seats, and we headed off for the 30 minute ride to the hotel.
As we entered Guilin proper, I noticed the tarpaulin banners attached to every single light post advertising the “2014 Women’s World 9-ball Championship,” accompanied by a photo featuring the three big stars of Chinese women’s pool; the 2007 champion Pan Xiaoting in the front, flanked by the 2010 champion Fu Xiao Fang, and the current champion Han Yu.
The lobby of the 5-star Guilin Grand Bravo Hotel was bustling with activity but what caught my attention was the slick videos playing over and over on the television near the entrance. One video featured nine sexy Chinese girls, each wearing tight shorts and colored shirts identical to the color of the pool balls- with matching numbers of course- dancing provocatively around the various sites of Guilin. In another video, images of a ballet dancer were intertwined with those of Fu Xiao Fang, dressed in an elegant black outfit. As Fu hit a jump shot in super slow motion, the ballet dancer then leaped in slow motion. As Fu performed a masse shot, the ballet dancer pirouetted in a similar fashion as the spinning ball.
Women’s pool in China is not just a sporting contest. It is also a fashion show, a marketing vehicle, a chance to doll-up the local girls to help promote your brand to a Chinese public which simply adores glamorous women.
Click the image to view the full size photograph - use "back" to return here “They are very sexy and beautiful, and they are also very good,” said one of the heads of the Guoao Phoenix Group, the real estate and development company that put the up the funds for this year’s Women’s World 9-ball Championship, when asked why the company decided to sponsor women’s pool.
He also explained that 9-ball is not really that popular in China, the main game here being Chinese 8-ball, which is basically American 8-ball played on pool tables with snooker pockets and nappy cloth.
“But we want to promote 9-ball because it is an international game,” he said. The fact that the event is a chance to feature nicely dressed women from 25 countries is certainly a big plus.
The Guoao Group is building a $5 billion dollar resort project in Guilin which will feature ten PGA standard golf courses, hotels, luxury shopping and restaurants. The company got involved in the Women’s World 9-ball Championship only this year after the event finished a five year run in the northeastern Chinese city of Shenyang. Guilin is one of China’s most famous tourist enclaves and the premiere ladies pool tournament will serve as a vehicle to promote Guilin, mostly to a domestic audience.
Click the image to view the full size photograph - use "back" to return here The Women’s World 9-ball is the biggest sporting event ever held in the city. Guoao Group was clearly aware of the significance, for what they had in store last night at the Guilin Exhibition Center defied all rational description, especially to an outsider more used to pool having to struggle to get a mention even in the crime blotter.
The massive trade hall was packed with nearly 5000 people, one-fifth of the town’s population, eagerly awaiting the night’s festivities. The stage was adorned with five massive LED screens and giant speakers, and as the lights went down, it was clear this would be no ordinary opening ceremony.
The night began with a performance by a group of female dancers dressed in the outfits of the Zhuang people, the main tribe of some 28 ethnic minorities from the Guilin area. Then the players were introduced and emerged onto the stage one by one. The looks on some of the foreign players faces as they stood in front of this sea of people ranged from awe struck to positively dumb founded. Only in China could a pool player receive such a royal welcome.
After the city mayor and some other dignitaries gave their obligatory speeches, the culture and entertainment kicked into high gear for the next 90 minutes. The dance troupe, sometimes with male dancers, performed several times, always wearing different colorful traditional local outfits, all accompanied by music and stunning visuals on the LED screens. In between the dances, the crowd was treated to a female acrobat flying high above the stage, and several well-known young singers. The highlight for the locals was the performance by one of China’s most famous singers, Sun Nan, whose three songs had the audience roaring.
The dance troupe closed out the show with another traditional number and as the lights came on, the crowd, clearly buzzing, headed for the exits. I had the feeling that I had just seen one of those famous traveling shows of Chinese acrobats and entertainers. And all this to kick off a pool tournament.
“That was like the Oscars,” said a smiling Allison Fisher, expressing the feelings of every single foreign player on hand. “We don’t get that every day.”
The 2014 Women’s World 9-ball will be held in Guilin, China from October 13-18, and is sanctioned by the World Pool & Billiard Association(WPA), the world governing body of pool. 64 women players from across the globe will compete for the biggest prize in Women’s Pool.
The World Pool-Billiard Association(WPA) will be on hand in Guilin throughout the week bringing you all the drama from the 2014 Women’s World 9-ball Championship. WPA Press Officer Ted Lerner will be reporting from the Guilin National Olympic City with daily articles containing insight and analysis, as well as photos. He will also be manning the WPA Facebook page and Twitter feed and responding to fans queries and comments.
THE LADIES GO FOR GLORY THIS WEEK IN GUILIN, CHINA
This photograph courtesy of ©Tai Chengzhe / www.top147.com used with permission. 64 of the best women players in the world head for the gorgeous Chinese city of Guilin, the new host of the WPA World 9-ball Championship.
A veritable slug fest on the cloth pitch awaits fans around China and throughout the world this week, as the 2014 WPA Women’s World 9-ball Championship kicks off in the world famous Chinese city of Guilin.
64 of the absolute finest women players from 25 countries will square off for what is by far the biggest and most prestigious prize in women’s professional pool, $300,000, with $40,000 going to the winner. The qualifiers run from October 13-14, while the main tournament kicks off Wednesday, October 15th and finishes up on Saturday October 18th.
This is now the 6th straight year that the Women’s World 9-ball Championship will be held in China, and the first year in the tourist enclave of Guilin. One of the better known tourist destinations of Southern China, and indeed the whole of China, Guilin, situated on the gorgeous Li River, is set to provide a fresh face to what has already become one of the Chinese sporting public’s favorite events.
For the previous five years, the event had been held in the northeastern Chinese city of Shenyang, near the border with North Korea. Having the tournament in Shenyang and shown live around China has proven a huge boost for women’s pool in the world’s most populous nation. Pool in China has grown massively over that time but most of the game’s popularity resides with the women who provide the girlish glamour the Chinese sporting public simply adores.
But there’s also been plenty of girl athletic power on display, as the Chinese women have simply dominated the World 9-ball in China, winning four out of the five championships. Only Great Britain’s Kelly Fisher has been able to stem the tide, when she captured the World 9-ball Championship in 2012.
Last year, 21 year old Han Yu became the latest Chinese pool star to capture glory. The diminutive but fiery red head put on a clinic as she completely outclassed Taiwan’s Lin Yuan Chun, 9-1, in the final. The match was seen by an estimated audience of nearly 100 million people watching live on China’s state television(CCTV.).
Han’s ruthlessness on the table was clearly no fluke, as she went on to capture the 2014 China Open in Shanghai this past June. Now ranked WPA World number 1, Han comes into this week’s championship as the clear favorite to win. But, as usual, there will plenty of other women snapping at Han’s heels and who are more than capable of taking the crown. All 25 of the WPA’s top 25 ranked women are expected to be competing in Guilin this week.
Pan Xiaoting and Han Yu at a recent press conference Certainly pool fans the world over would love nothing better than to see Great Britain’s Kelly Fisher find herself in contention come Saturday. Just three months ago, the 35 year old and world number 2 underwent open heart surgery after she was diagnosed with a large atrial septal defect earlier this year. Fisher said then that she planned to be in Guilin to go for glory and she has kept her promise. And apparently the time away from the game has renewed Fisher’s lust for winning. Just last week the affable Brit won the Challenge of Champions invitational in San Diego. And, perhaps ominously for the field, Fishers says she enters the world championship without the expectations she had last year as defending champion.
“I am thrilled with my recovery and feeling good overall,” Fisher told the WPA recently. “I am hungry and excited to compete again but will go in to the competition with no pressures or expectations.”
Fans can certainly expect the the usual names to duel in some classic showdowns in the coming days. In addition to Han, China’s stars such as Lui Shasha(2009 champion), Fu Xiaofang(2010 champion), Chen Siming and , of course, the superstar of Chinese pool, Pan Xiaoting(2007 champion) will all draw huge crowds and will no doubt be playing late into the event.
Others considered threats to win are Korea’s Ga Young Kim, Hall of Famer Allison Fisher, Austria’s Jasmine Ouschan, and Taiwan’s Chieh Yu Chou.
For the main event on Wednesday, the players will be divided into 8 groups of 8 players. They will play a double elimination format in the group stage, race to seven, alternate break. The top four players from each group will progress to the final 32, where the format will become single elimination knockout, race to 9, alternate break. The final will be a race to 11.
