China Open 9-ball Starts Today
The second world ranking event of the new WPA Pool Tour is underway in China.
This event follows on from the recent Philippines Open which was won by, surprisingly in some eyes, by Indonesia’s Ricky Yang. The win propelled Yang into 19th in the world rankings and with a few withdrawals means he is seeded 11th for this tournament.
The event takes place inside the Pudong Yuanshen Gymnasium which has capacity to hold up to 5000 spectators.
As you can imagine the field is dominated by local Chinese players, but there are four British players who have made the trip. World 10-ball Champion, Darren Appleton (seeded 2) and Daryl Peach (seeded 7) plus Karl Boyes and Craig Osborne.
