In the fourth (final) qualifying round of the Veghel 2024 3-cushion billiards World Cup, Nguyen Hoan Tat was in a rather difficult group C with the participation of Jeremy Bury (France) and Peter De Backer (Belgium). In the first match of group C taking place on the afternoon of October 23, Hoan Tat faced Peter De Backer and encountered many difficulties for most of the match.
After a shaky start, the Belgian player rose strongly and continuously led Hoan Tat in terms of points. On the other hand, the Vietnamese player fell into a deadlock and at times did not score any points during 9 consecutive turns. Hoan Tat tried to regain his feeling and narrowed the gap before the match entered the break. The match ended with De Backer leading 22-20.
Nguyen Hoan Tat made an impressive comeback in the opening match of the fourth qualifying round of the 2024 Veghel World Cup. In the second qualifying round, he also had a very good comeback win.
In the second half, although the score difference was not too big, Hoan Tat had difficulty surpassing his opponent. When Backer was leading 29-28, Nguyen Hoan Tat suddenly exploded with a series of 11 points in the 31st turn, reaching 39 points and only 1 point away from victory. In the 32nd turn, the Vietnamese player "closed the score" and won the match 40-32.
Another match in the fourth qualifying round that fans were looking forward to was the debut of Frederic Caudron. The player nicknamed "genius" was led by Knudsen (Denmark) in the first 17 turns. Caudron also had a spectacular sprint in the last turns to win impressively. When his opponent was leading 27-26, the Belgian player had a series of 6 in the 18th turn, then added a series of 8 in the 19th turn to win 40-33.

Thanh Luc scored 36 points after 11 first turns. The player born in 1990 only needed 14 turns to have enough points, winning 40-25 against Thanh Tien.
