Right now with her current form and the way she is playing, I think Han Yu has edge over Rita Chou or Siming in final. But will be too close to call. Some way to go as they still need to win 3 matches to get to final and upsets can happen along the way
was close, but chou egded out siming with a clutch final runout. those girls can flat out play. i think winner will play chezka
Thanks for the links.
chezka trounced chou. she has slowed down a little, but is still the fastest player
it's incredible that she keeps winning at 55. i like her chances better than kelly's. especially if it becomes a moving game. chezka is limited in that department, she's a runout player
It’s been 22 years since Allison’s last world 9-ball title, so that would be amazing if she could pull it off. She’ll have to avoid making the few mistakes at key moments against the top players that have kept her from winning the big titles in recent years.

Allison currently leading 7-4 and playing great, racing to 9. Match is currently live on YouTube. Ty leading 7-2 over Kelly Fisher in other semi.
9-8 Chezka, coming back from 4-8 down to win. Likely one of the toughest losses in Allison’s long career, but as always she handled it with class.
Chezka appeared completely frustrated, losing virtually all of the safety battles. Allison had a really good chance to close her out in the 8-4 game but missed her shape and played a loose safety from which Chezka ran out.
Allison again looked to be running out for the match in the 8-6 game, but left herself a tough jacked up shot she missed, which if she’d made would have led to an easy runout. Chezka never gave Allison a chance after that. An extremely high level match by both players, with very few missed shots.
Opponents just did not have the firepower to beat Allison when she played this well the first 10-15 years of her 9-ball career, but the elite women players have stepped it up to unprecedented levels in recent years, with the exception of the US women.
That Allison is still playing at this level 40 years in to her professional snooker / pool career is a real inspiration to those of us considerably older than her.

when chezka is flying it's a thing of beauty. she has slowed down a bit, it's more rodney morris than tony drago now, but still makes a stark contrast to the other women. highly entertaining.
han yu must surely be a big favorite in the final, but an inspired chezka can take it if the breaks are working

She plays the Filipino style pool. Just get up there and run the balls, forget all that walking around looking from every angle, and scratching your head. See it, do it! I can see the Dennis influence in her game. She ran the last rack like it was the first rack!

I thought the same thing. That was probably the toughest loss I have ever seen for allison. She pretty much had that match in the bag. If its any consolation, she still finished stronger than the younger top guns kelly, jasmin, xiaoting etc.
Finals on now. Chezka up 2-0, ran both racks, first with BIH on the 1, second after a dry break.
