The 2007 Amway WPA Women's World
9-ball Championship is over. Xiaoting Pan, who has been so dominate on
this years WPBA Tour, has claimed the World Champion Title.
A strong WPBA
showing as defending 2-time Champion Ga-Young Kim, Kelly Fisher, Kim White and
Xiaoting Pan all made it into Sunday's quarterfinals. Ga-Young was defeated by
Rubilen Amit 7-2, Xiaoting Pan, in a rematch of the Great Lakes Classic, defeats
Kelly Fisher with, oddly enough, the exact same score 7-3. Kim White was
eliminated by Japan's Y. Hamanishi, 7-2. This left Xiaoting Pan as the
only WPBA member advancing to the semi-finals where she defeated P.C. Tsai of
Chinese Tapei 9-4.
The finals found Xiaoting Pan against Rubilen Amit in
a race to 11. Although having had a strong showing from Rubilen in the
semi and quarterfinals, especially defeating World Champion Ga-Young Kim, she
just couldn't muster the strength to defeat Xiaoting. Xiaoting claims her
first WPBA title and the World Championships within two weeks of each
other. With the WPBA San Diego Classic coming up a week from now, can
anybody halt the Xiaoting Express? Stay with us at WPBA.com to follow
along.
Congratulations to Xiaoting Pan for joining, yet again, another
exclusive membership.......World Champion!
