Previously, in the round of 16 this afternoon, player Tran Quyet Chien (ranked 10th in the world ) easily defeated Mexican player Javier Vera (ranked 58th in the world ) with a score of 50-34 to advance to the semi-finals. The next opponent of the Vietnamese player, Zanetti, is considered a candidate for the championship when world number 1 player Dick Jaspers (Netherlands) was eliminated.
Tran Quyet Chien entered the semi-finals of the world 3-cushion carom billiards championship for the first time.
Facing a very strong opponent, Tran Quyet Chien entered the game very confidently and showed his mettle. A series of steady points helped Tony Tran (nickname of Tran Quyet Chien) make the world's number 2 player wary. Taking advantage of his opponent's poor performance, Tran Quyet Chien scored a series of 11 points to take the lead 26-13 and bring the match into the break.
After the break, the Italian player tried hard to score points to keep up with Tran Quyet Chien. Two series of 6 points were still not enough to help Zanetti regain the game as the Vietnamese player continued to play at a very high level. Tran Quyet Chien's consistent scoring and excellent "closing of the ball" helped him win convincingly with a score of 50-34 after 25 turns.
Tran Quyet Chien's semi-final opponent tomorrow, September 10, will be Tayfun Tasdemir (Türkiye, world No. 7), who defeated Eddy Merckx (Belgium, world No. 8) in the other quarter-final.
