The World Nineball Tour returns to Asia from May 14-18 as the first staging of the Arena Open takes place at Arena Billiards in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Asian players will receive another ideal opportunity to obtain potentially crucial ranking points towards the Reyes Cup in the Malaysian capital, with the eventual winner receiving $10,000.
Two-time world champion Carlo Biado will headlines a field which revolves around an array of Filipino talents, which also includes world number four Johann Chua, Bernie Regalario and Jefrey Roda.
Ralf Souquet and Dennis Orcollo are also amongst the 160-player lineup, as are Philippines Open runner-up Arseni Sevastyanov, teenage phenom AJ Manas, Lo Ho Sum and James Aranas.
In addition, Ronel Nalaunan and Irsal Nasution, both ranking events finalists this season, will be involved alongside the likes of ranking event winner Alexis Ferrer, Jeffrey Ignacio, Marvin Asis, Jeffrey de Luna and Michael Baoanan.
Coverage will be broadcast live via the Arena Billiards Club YouTube channel as well as WNT TV for subscribers, including Monday’s semi-finals and final.
