Tran Quyet Chien's opponent in the semi-finals is Sameh Sidhom (Egypt). Previously, this player had lost to Quyet Chien many times in the World Cup.
This time, the result was repeated once again. Tran Quyet Chien started strongly with a series of long scoring series and led 19-1. Sidhom seemed to be "overwhelmed" by the Vietnamese player's high performance.
Quyet Chien entered the break with a safe gap of 25-13. After that, he still maintained his excited playing state, including a series of 9 points to quickly end the match with a score of 50-22 after only 19 innings.
Tran Quyet Chien's next opponent is veteran Belgian player Eddy Merkx. In the semi-finals, the player born in 1968 defeated Glenn Hofman (Netherlands) 50-35 after 28 rounds.
This can be considered a classic final match of this year's Ankara Billiards World Cup. Eddy Merkx is considered one of the legends of 3-cushion carom, having won the World Cup 13 times. He is currently ranked 7th in the world rankings.
Meanwhile, Tran Quyet Chien has won 4 World Cup titles and is currently ranked 2nd. At the most recent World Cup held in Ho Chi Minh City, the Vietnamese player stopped in the semi-finals.
The final match between Tran Quyet Chien and Eddy Merkx will take place at 9:00 p.m. on June 15.
