Thanks for this! As I watch this match I reflect on how far women's pool has advanced in the last 10-20 years. Much farther and faster than men's pool (which was already at a high level 20 years ago). My opinion is that these Chinese women are now the best female players and will force the Allison's, Karen's, Jasmin's, Kelly's et al to raise their level to keep up.

I can finally say that the day has come when women can compete right alongside the men in major pool tournaments and have a chance to win! I knew this day would eventually come and it has. The FUTURE of professional pool, and why it may finally become a MAJOR sport worldwide, is that women can compete on equal terms with men. And that's a good thing!

Unlike golf or tennis, men have no inherent advantage over women at pool. Just watch this match and tell me what you think. I see two terrific pool players, not two women who happen to play good. There's a difference you know. :thumbup:

Is that the famous $30 chalk Chen is using? If so, I might have to look into that :smile:. Johnnyt

Thank you Yokita. I'm glad a pool fan from that side of the pond is keeping us informed. If things in the US doesn't change soon, you'll be a very valuable resource.
 
I noticed that Gao Meng from china defeated Yu ram Cha here, and a week or so again at World 9-Ball,too.
And she is only 16 yrs old. amazing!
