Americans doing poorly this week? Wow, what a shocker, given that they've just played their last two events on bar tables at the US Open 10 ball ad US Open 8 ball events in Vegas. Could you ask for better preparation than that?

I have posted on a few occasions that the move in the direction of bar table events will further reduce the pedigree of Americans when they play in the most prestigious international events. Comically, we'll be using a lot of bar table events to determine who should compete for the US at the Mosconi in December.

American pool is seriously broken right now with no end in sight. That said, I admire any American that made the trip to Doha and wish them well.

:clapping:

Someone has to put it into words, and you said it best.

Taiwan and China are laying down the law. They're head and shoulders above the rest of the world.

I thought Wilkie had to play a big name from Europe I want to say Niels feijen

Yup. I listed the guy he beat. He plays Feijen next. Correction made. thanks

Unfortunately for Wilkie I'm correct lol I really was pushing for him to go deep but that's a tough tough draw. On the flip side if he does pull out the miracle win it will do wonders for his confidence going forward

And I made the same mistake for Woodward (listing the player he beat rather than the guy he plays next). He plays Szewczyk next. Correction made.

So (maybe) this is correct now:

Two losses and out:

  • Hart -- 1-9, 2-9
  • Lombardo -- 4-9, 6-9

  • Wilkie -- 6-9, 9-1 -- Niels Feijen

USA players at the WPA9ball2016

Europeans and Asians players use to play only at 9ft tables alternate breaks at least 6-10 majors tours per year,they use to hard competition
in USA the comp. is at least minus one level
no chance there ex. SVB ;)

You can add the following to the list of players that could be eliminated tomorrow:

Ching Shun Yang
Ralf Souquet
John Morra
W Majid
Daryl Peach
Roberto Gomez
Jeff De Luna
C. Wang
N. Oi
Sky Woodward
Oliver Ortmann
Nick Van den Berg
Carlo Biado
C. Yu Lung

So with Darren Appleton, Dennis orcullio, Jeffrey Ignacio, jayson shaw, Shane van boening and Niels feijen, the one loss side is looking more like the winners' side. If they lose tomorrow, they are out. But at least, they still have a chance. Mika Immonen and Aloysius Yapp have already been eliminated.
