MANILA, Philippines – Rubilen Amit pulled off a sensational comeback to upend Taipei’s Tsai Pei Chen, 9-7, making it to the finals of the Yalin Women’s World 10 Ball Championship at Resorts World Manila on Monday, November 4.
Trailing 6 racks to 7, the Cebuana capitalized on errors from Tsai and took the next two racks. In Rack 16, Amit used a 4-10 combination to end the match and seal the first finals slot.
“I was lucky that the crowd was on my side. I thought she had the momentum. I just played it one ball at a time,” said Amit, who was the world champion back in 2009.
Tsai went off to a rousing start, taking a 5-3 lead. Amit recovered in time after Tsai’s miscue on the 5 ball in Rack 11.
From a 6-all deadlock, the game turned into a chess match as both cue artists turned to safety shots. With one final chance to tie the match, Tsai backfired a shot on the 3 ball in Rack 17, allowing Amit to complete the comeback.
“I felt the nerves. I’m just lucky. I just continued praying and luckily the 4-10 combination went in,” added Amit.
Amit will face the winner of the other semifinals match between Britain’s Kelly Fisher and China’s Yu Han later Monday. – Rappler.com
