On the opening day of the 32nd round of the Seoul 2024 Billiards World Cup, Tran Quyet Chien showed great form. Vietnam's number 1 player won all 3 matches, thereby getting a ticket to the round of 16 (knockout) as the top player of Group B.
In the first knockout round, Tran Quyet Chien will face Tolgahan Kiraz (Turkey, ranked 12th in the world) at 12 o'clock today (November 9, Vietnam time). The Turkish representative is a formidable player with a strong attacking style.
All matches between Tran Quyet Chien and Vietnamese players are broadcast live on the SOOP Live platform (link: https://billiards.sooplive.co.kr/schedule/111).
Tran Quyet Chien will defend his score if he wins the right to enter the quarterfinals of the Seoul 2024 Billiards World Cup.
Dao Van Ly will also play in the round of 16 at 12 o'clock , facing Kim Jun-tae (Korea, world No. 5). If he continues to show good form, a ticket to the quarterfinals is not too much for Van Ly. Especially after his convincing performance in the round of 32, when he defeated two veteran players Eddy Merckx and Torbjorn Blomdahl, Van Ly showed that he can win against any opponent. But Kim Jun-tae is very dangerous, as this player has just equaled a very rare record of 3-cushion carom billiards in the world with a series of 28 points in the round of 32.
Bao Phuong Vinh is the first Vietnamese player to compete in the round of 16 of the Seoul 2024 Billiards World Cup. The Binh Duong player will face Peter Ceulemans (Belgium, ranked 20th in the world) at 9:30 a.m. Bao Phuong Vinh's opponent has been maintaining stability in recent tournaments, continuously advancing. However, a victory is not an impossible task for the Vietnamese player who won the 2023 World Championship.
Tolgahan Kiraz has a strong attacking style.
From the round of 16 of the Seoul Billiards World Cup 2024, each match will be played to 50 points, with no equal turns. If Tran Quyet Chien wins the round of 16, he and the Vietnamese players will continue to compete in the quarterfinals on the afternoon of November 9.
