Wu 2 vs Manalo 1

Wu breaks and makes 4 and 1. Has the 2 off the right rail and missed it. 2 covered by the 8 for bottom left.

Manalo plans a safety but offers a small peak on the 2 behind the 9. Wu has a tought cut for the left bottom and misses. CB top and 2 on bottom near left. Marlon shots for the cushion first and makes the 2. No clear 3 which is slightly covered by the 7.

Marlon thinks long and hard for covers. Marlon kicks badly offering a cut on the near rail for the top right just pass the side right. CB on the center.

Wu is thinking what to do. Fires and overcuts. Manalo has a clear easy cut to top right. 5 on the same hole waiting. 6 to the bottom right and 7 waiting near right side packet and overrun slightly. 7 deposited using slow stun-stop.

8 and 9 to get 1 rack.

Manalo breaks and makes 3 balls 1, 3 and 5 and a clear 2 for bottom left. 4 to top right. 6 to bottom left. 7 on the top left and 8 for the bottom left and 9 for the bottom right. Boy that was classic Manalo wipeout.
 
Wu 3 vs Manalo 2

Manalo breaks and makes the 5. Layout is bad with 1 covered by the 6,but has a peak on the 1. Manalo runs for cover with no jumping on. Wu kicks and got a lucky cover eclipsed by the 9. Marlon kicks around the 1 going around kicking the 9 and nearly making the 9 on the side left.

Wu banks the 1 and barely making it. 2 for the right side and 3 9 combo waiting on the left side for the rack.

Wu 5 vs Manalo 2

Wu breaks and makes 1 and 7. 2 peaks out of the 5. Wu tries for covers and badly makes the 2 out. Marlon tries the 2 to kiss the 3 for the left side and misses it. Bad choice. :(

Wu thinly slices the 2 for bottom right. 3 to top left. 4 to top right. 5 to the same packet. 6 to bottom left and 8 to bottom right and the 9 for the rack.
 
Wu 6 vs Manalo 2

Wu breaks and makes 1 and 5 with a shot on the 2. 2 for the top left. 3 off the rail to top right. 4 near the mouth of top right. 6 to top left. 7 to top right. 8 to bottom right and 9 for the rack.
 
Wu is only 16 years old. According to the WPC forums, the viewers to the live broadcast are saying Marlon Manalo is "choking." It's nice to know he is human!

This is a hard match for me to root for. I like the idea of Wu being a young champion making his mark, but for Marlon, he seems to be on top of his game.

BTW, Blowfish, THANKS for the play-by-play updates. Very much appreciated. :)

This 16-year-old Taiwanese sensation must have the whole arena pulling for him, being the hometown guy. Must be a difficult environment for Marlon. For the eyewitnesses, it must be one thrilling match!

Couldn't they have wiated for me? I only woke up a little while ago. Sounds like Wu's hitting em pretty sporty.
 
This kid is giving Marlon a spanking! 7 to 2, and he's on a roll.
