World Pool Championships 2025, July 21-26, Jeddah

[JAM]

Fedor in full mount waging an effective ground and pound.

Keith McCready said Fedor plays with full confidence, reminding him of Earl Strickland when Earl was in his prime.

8-3 on a 4-9 combo by Fedor.

 

[JAM]

9-3, going to 11. Fedor needs 2 for match win. Ko 7 and Biado 7 on Table 2.

 

[datnodude]

I'm actively rooting against Fred, I've had enough

 

[skogstokig]

tight as expected between ko and biado

 

[JAM]

Fedor on the hill, 10-3.

 

[SA96]

If Fred doesn't play like this in the Mosconi, he should have his citizenship revoked.

 

[skogstokig]

wouldn't mind a longer race in this match. 9-7 biado

 

[JAM]

Good grief. Fedor has a straight-in 9 ball for the match win. Swing and a miss. Score 10-4.

 

[FrankieD]

wouldn't mind a longer race in this match. 9-7 biado

Agreed! These 2 battling it out is top notch stuff!

 

[Badpenguin]

Biado getting a lead. Must be waxing that cue ball.

 

[SA96]

That 9 ball Fedor missed looked very odd.

He hit it super hard.

Almost like he wanted to miss?

 

[skip100]

Sick shot from Biado to get on the 6.

 

[billiards_watch]

The cue ball is moving funny.

 

[PoolBum]

Sick shot from Biado to get on the 6.

I was just going to post about that shot. That was spectacular cue ball control to draw two cushions across the table through the window on the 6 and get perfect shape.

 

[JAM]

Match stats.

 

[skogstokig]

wp biado!

 

[skip100]

Biado hit a really precise draw with the bridge when he could have tried to follow it off the rail and it ended picture perfect. Great play to finish that match out.

Almost like he wanted to miss?

He threw in a quick one there

 

[Badpenguin]

Fedor is very gracious and humble when describing his struggles at the table, always enjoy hearing his take after a match.

Very nice win for Biado. Exciting match that turned on a dime twice. Biado had built a well-deserved 6-4 lead when he misplayed a safety in Rack 11 and, before he knew it, he trailed 7-6. Then, just a few balls from an 8-6 lead, Ko Ping Chung hooked himself on the 8ball and then Biado was off to the races, not giving up another rack. Well played, Carlo.

Two World 9ball champions into Day 6 already. Will FSR make it three?
