On the afternoon of June 15, Tran Quyet Chien took the field in the semi-final match of the Ankara 2025 Billiards World Cup (held in Türkiye), facing Sameh Sidhom (Egypt). This is a fateful encounter, as these two players have met in two Billiards World Cup finals (Porto - Portugal in 2023 and Bogota - Colombia in 2024). In which, Vietnam's No. 1 player won absolutely and won 2 championships.
However, Tran Quyet Chien is expected to face many difficulties, as the Egyptian player is in very good form on the journey to the semi-finals. In the quarter-finals, Sidhom played extremely well to come back and dramatically defeat Marco Zanetti with a close score of 50-49.

Sameh Sidhom did not have a good sense of the ball in the semi-final, plus Tran Quyet Chien played too tightly, often leaving difficult "bullets". The Egyptian player played deadlocked, scoring only 2 points after 9 turns. It was not until the 10th turn that Sidhom had the first series, scoring 8 points to shorten the score to 10-21.
Tran Quyet Chien scored consistently and also made the audience admire his extremely beautiful a-bang and island moves. On the 7th turn, Quyet Chien created a super roll to "break the bullet". On the 10th turn, the Vietnamese player continued to perform an extremely skillful a-bang and island move.
Tran Quyet Chien's good plays also contributed to the opponent's morale going down.
