The 32nd staging of the Women’s World 9-Ball Championship will be held in Bali from September 28 through to October 4 as the prestigious $200,000 tournament takes place in Indonesia for the first time.
The world’s finest female cueists will grace the Emerald of the Equator with the biggest title in the women’s game up for grabs as well as the lucrative $55,000 champion’s cheque.
Seo Seoa will be defending her title in Indonesia after denying Kristina Tkach in a thrilling shootout in December, and the South Korean sensation now attempts to follow Allison Fisher, Liu Shasha, Kim Ga-Young and Robin Bell in winning back-to-back titles.
Kelly Fisher, Rubilen Amit, Chou Chieh-Yu, Chen Siming, Bi Zhuqing and Fu Xiaofang are also amongst the nine former winners involved, as are three-time champions Han Yu and Liu Shasha – who will be vying to equal Allison Fisher’s record of four titles.
Austria’s Jasmin Ouschan and Chezka Centeno of the Philippines will be attempting to create history in becoming the first player to complete a world championship trifecta, having previously won the World 10-Ball Championship and the World 8-Ball Championship.
Women’s world number one Pia Filler heads to Bali fresh from sealing an emotional maiden major accolade at the Saigon Open, while world 10-ball champion Margarita Fefilova, Kristina Tkach and Wei Tzu-Chien will also be amongst those attempting to win the title for the first time.
Other notable players involved include Saigon Open runner-up Shi Tianqi, American teenage sensation Savannah Easton and 2016 runner-up Chihiro Kawahara, as well as Meng-Hsia Hung, Chiang Shui-Ching, Chen Chia-Hua and Harin Lee.
Silviana Lu, the world number 27, and Annita Kanjaya will be amongst ten Indonesian players competing on home soil in the 64-player double elimination field, with 16 players advancing to the single elimination phase.
It will be set-play for the third successive year, with the double elimination phase being best-of-three sets of race-to-four racks and the single elimination being best-of-five sets. A shootout will determine the winner should the score be 3-3 in the deciding set.
Free main table coverage and additional coverage of three tables will be broadcast throughout the duration of the tournament via the Billiard TV website and Pro Billiard TV on YouTube, while Box Billiards Vietnam will show matches via their YouTube channel.
