Good news to everyone, 2 pinoys made it thru from the qualifying stage
LIST OF PINOY WINNERS FROM STAGE 1 (1ST CHANCE) & THRU TO THE MAIN DRAW (STAGE 2)
1. Jeffrey Ignacio
2. Francisco Felicilda
Francisco Felicilda, a very consistent player who never lost a game in the qualifying stages since last year if I recall.
He won 1st chance today and last year. Jeffrey managed to edge Yukio by the skin of his teeth with a 7-6 score, he made
several blunders after a very convincing start to up the scoreline to 5-1 only to make several unforced errors. Yukio was
having a hard time with the breaks which most of the time didn't go his way, but he made a very nice comeback after
his tremendous jumpshots and shot-making ability, he hold his own which truly showed the mark of a world champion caliber
player. Unfortunately, he made a horrendous shot in the final rack in which he was snookered and caused him the match.
But no doubt Yukio will be facing less tougher opposition in the 2nd chance in which I guess he'll get his redemption
and get thru to the main stage.
Let's support our fellow pinoys! Let's Go Go Go!
