I just saw on TV a 17-year-old high school girl, Guo Shi Ting, beat the world number five, Chou Chieh Yu. Chou is the top-ranked Taiwan women and has been almost unbeatable on the island lately. She just won the World Team Competition and was the Amway Champion earlier this year. What was more impressive was young Guo came from 1-7 down (race to 9) to go hill-hill with Chou then ran out to win 9-8. This is her first foray into the Taiwan Women's 9-Ball professional circuit but the performance was no fluke because she handily beat another top-ranked player to get to this round. With her plain clothes, school-girl haircut and no makeup she look out of place in that venue but her confidence around the table is cool and calculated and totally played the part. Look for Guo Shi Ting to be a force on the international pool scene soon.
