Last of first round matches getting ready to start:

Siming Chen in the house....

 

[Lowell]

I continue to be impressed with Savannah Easton and Sofia Mast, it is safe to say they're real contenders now

 

[jax_joe]

More of this one match a day crap. Winners round will be over before I get up tomorrow.

i don't think siming chen will be in the final. can't switch between cuesports without losing speed. muyan is probably the best chinese contender after han yu

There are numerous other favorites, especially as it is 10 ball. Seoa just lost first round to Ropero. LOL

 

[Lowell]

Seo Seo and Savannah Easton just took out Rita Chou and Kristina Tkach in the doubles event.

Some people were saying they'd be an awful pairing but they've looked mostly very smooth.

i think it's pretty weird to have a doubles tournament with potential rivals on the same team in conjunction with a WC. jmho.

Real odd, running simultaneously on top of each other. I think they got stuck probably with scheduling when Matchroom finally announced their events. I remember when Predator first announced Rome, there was going to be a men's event (and presumably a mixed doubles). But at some point later the men's disappeared from the website.

It's kinda weird but then again, in singles people have to play their own friends and families members all the time

I don't think her game is near what it was before Covid. She moves her upper body during her forward stroke on many shots now.

I wonder why she does that now- is that an effect of playing so much Heyball?

Sofia and Savannah both with good matches against strong opponents. Sofia beating Rubilen and Savannah beating Kristina

these two girls have improved a lot. you simply don't beat rubilen at 10-ball unless you're a serious contender. same with tkach.

Yeah, they're both in the final 16 in the winner's bracket, it's official to me that they're real contenders.

And Sav is also playing great in the doubles event, the pairing turned out to be pretty good.

it's a murderers row coming in from LQ. only good news for them is that han yu or seoa will be out

 

[Rocket354]

Tangential question: who's the best female jumper?

Savannah has to be up there. It is one of her strongest areas.

 

[Lowell]

Seoa, Tkach, Amit, and Centeno win their final losers bracket matches and are into the Last 16.

Tough field, there should be a lot of good matches coming up.

Jasmin is having a rough time. Good match here right now.
She made it through.

Maybe, but it's neither new nor rare.

At the Las Vegas Open in February, there were two men on each team at the World Team Championships, but that didn't mean they couldn't draw each other in the men's singles.

At the just completed FIFA world cup, players who are teammates year-round had to represent their countries and often found themselves playing against each other.

Your point is valid, but if that's the cost of having all these new events in pro pool, it is a price I am willing to pay.

 

[Lowell]

Seoa and Easton are now in the Semi finals for the doubles event.

Someone on here said they'd be an awful pairing lol.
