very strange decision.
petri makkonen may be the strongest breaker in northern europe, and it is 8-ball on brunswick-y tables, filler doesn't have as much of an edge. good on petri.

I have been watching a fair amount of both UK 8 ball and Chinese 8 ball recently, their standard of pattern play is so much higher, makes it tough to watch this WPA tourney where guys are failing to run out with open tables
seems SVB lost by the same score to hijikata. could be a final between a relatively unknown japanese and a completely unknown filipino. but albin looks strong (i'm only scoreboard watching this event, but strong scores).
Haven't seen any of this yet, but anyone who predicted this final four can take a deep bow.
Hijikata, who easily beat both SVB and Maciol, must be playing at a very high level. Ouschan hasn't won a major in quite a while and has a chance to write a great story tomorrow. Kazakis has found himself in the late stages of many big events over the years. This year alone, he got bronze at the Las Vegas 10ball and silver at the 2025 World 10ball. It might just be his time. I've never heard of Saguiped.
Best of luck to the four semifinalists.
