It is known that commentator Minh Dien will compete in the 2025 Ho Chi Minh City Billiards World Cup with a sponsor's slot, starting from the first qualifying round. Notably, Minh Dien has just competed and is also the only official Vietnamese commentator of the tournament. The commentator born in 1984 shared: "As a 3-cushion billiards player, participating in a World Billiards World Cup stage is a great honor. This is an opportunity for me to challenge myself and pursue my passion. My ability to compete is not high. However, I will try my best to go as far as possible. Opportunities like this are a great motivation for me to maintain my passion."
The Genius Caudron Returns
The 2025 Ho Chi Minh City Billiards World Cup also witnessed the return of veteran player Frederic Caudron after a period of absence. At the first 2025 Billiards World Cup held in Bogota - Colombia in March, the Belgian player did not participate. At the 2025 Ho Chi Minh City Billiards World Cup, Caudron, ranked 21st, will compete from the 4th qualifying round.
The player nicknamed "genius" is very eager to conquer the top of the World Cup billiards. Since Caudron returned to UMB in May 2024, he has not been able to win the championship. Caudron's best achievement since returning to his "old home" was the runner-up position in the Veghel World Cup - Netherlands in October 2024, when he lost to Tran Quyet Chien in the final match. Before leaving UMB to compete in the PBA tournament in Korea, the player born in 1968 had won 21 World Cup tournaments.
