Billiard player Tran Quyet Chien won the World Cup for the second time.

These are two players who played very well in the previous semi-final match, while player Tran Quyet Chien easily defeated his junior Chiem Hong Thai with a score of 50-26, Sameh Sidhom also easily defeated Jeremy Bury (France, ranked 11th in the world ) with a score difference of 50-20. Although the Egyptian player has a higher ranking, Tran Quyet Chien is completely confident after defeating Sidhom in the group stage match that took place 2 days ago.

Tran Quyet Chien faced Sidhom for the second time in 2 days

In this rematch, Sidhom quickly got off to a good start with a 5-point series. However, the Vietnamese player, with his own strength, was able to restrain his opponent's excitement and then launched an 8-point series to overcome his opponent. The more he played, the more confident the Vietnamese player became and after 18 rounds, the score was 30-14 for Tran Quyet Chien.

Sidhom was disappointed with his shots.

Although his opponent tried very hard to keep up with the score, Tran Quyet Chien still scored regularly to increase his score. In addition, the Vietnamese player's excellent "closing the ball" tactics made his Egyptian opponent no longer himself. In the 27th round, Tran Quyet Chien scored 2 points to win the championship of the 3-cushion billiards Porto World Cup 2023 when he won 50-30 against Sidhom.

The player born in 1984 is also the only person in the history of Vietnamese 3-cushion carom billiards to win the World Cup tournament. In addition, with 120 bonus points, Tran Quyet Chien can return to the top 5 in the world.
