Wu vs. Shane at the US Open

[kkdanamatt]

Who is Wu?
Of course, everyone who follows pool knows his name, but I've never seen the World's #1 Ranked player in person.
At the U.S. Open 9-Ball Championship, 11 days from today, I will have that opportunity.
Does anyone know how Wu and Shane (World's #2) have fared against each other?

Wu had a World Title @ 16 yo.

Wu had a World Title @ 16 yo. ��

Someone stated that he also won the World 8 Ball the same, or next year? Pretty amazing. How does a person of only 16 get to that high of a level? He must have had a great teacher from an early age, and amazing natural talent for pool.

There is a video from the L32 of the 2014 China Open on youtube.

These 2 players are among my favorite to watch, especially in high gear! Wu has a video on YouTube of a 10 pack that's pretty fun to watch, even if it looks a little robotic!

So it's been confirmed then that Wu is going to play in the U.S. Open?

Yes. He has paid his entry fee.

Awesome. I for one will be rooting for a Wu-SVB hill-hill final!

Wu style nine ball can be interesting....
...but you gotta watch out for pattern racking

Poll for dumbest post title?

How about someone set up a race to 21 action match between Shane and Wu.

Can't wait!

Wu is a 9 Ball rack running machine. So is Shane and Shaw and Chang. If the sets were longer I think Chang would get my money.

I just watched him on You Tube playing Dennis O. in a race to 21. Dennis finally got the lead and had him 18 to 15 when Dennis played a poor safety. Chang ran out and ran the next 5 racks also. Was darn good pool playing!

There is a You Tube video of Chang running 10 racks also and he quit as the set was over. He is a beast, as is Wu.

It mostly depends on who is having a good night. I think Wu ran 5 racks and out when he won the World 9 Ball championship at a very young age.

Wu Jiaqing won the 9-Ball and 8-Ball Worldchampions in the same year (2005).
