Allison Fisher Scores in San Diego
WPBA San Diego Classic / Alpine, CA
by InsidePOOL Staff
Allison “The Duchess of Doom” Fisher has triumphed at the Women's Professional Billiards Association (WPBA) San Diego Classic, winning 7-4 over Austria’s Gerda Hofstatter in the finals to cap off a four-day run of excellent play. This event was hosted by the Viejas Casino in Alpine, CA, and began Thursday, April 9.
Having come through undefeated to the semis by virtue of wins over daunting opponents such as Jennifer Barretta, Vivian Villareal, and Helena Thornfeldt, Fisher was primed for her semifinal match against Karen “The Irish Invader” Corr. In the shortened race to 7, Corr was the one to take an early two-rack lead, which she kept until the fifth game when she missed a 4-9 combo. Gaining momentum with every ball she sank, Fisher climbed back until the score stood at 4 apiece. She then took the next two games as well to reach the hill. Fisher, however, missed a key 5-9 combo in the next rack for the win, and Corr fought back to make it a double-hill nail-biter. The last rack was a real killer: Fisher broke and ran out to the 5 ball but locked her cue...

WPBA San Diego Classic / Alpine, CA
by InsidePOOL Staff
If reigning Women's Professional Billiards Association (WPBA) San Diego Classic champion Kelly Fisher is going to defend her title for her fourth consecutive win, she will have to do it by coming through the west side of the chart.

WPBA San Diego Classic / Alpine, CA
by InsidePOOL Staff
Sunny San Diego is hosting the latest stop on the Women’s Professional Billiard Tour, beginning Thursday, April 10 and crowning a winner Sunday, April 13. The San Diego Classic is being hosted by the beautiful Viejas Casino in Alpine, CA, and has a full 64-player field.
Reigning champ at Viejas, Kelly Fisher, will be attempting a four-peat at this event, and so far, so good. Her first match against Gail Grecar she won easily 9-2, but in the second round, she was faced with the formidable Jasmin Ouschan of Austria, who won the 2006 EnjoyPool.com Championships. Though this was a tougher match for Fisher, she came through with flying colors, winning 9-7. Her next match will be against Anna Kostanian.
A pair of 9-1 wins has seen top seed Allison Fisher through the opening two rounds, the first over Melissa Morris and the second over Jennifer Barretta. Fisher will next meet Vivian Villareal, who survived a double-hill thriller against Ewa Laurance in the second round to advance.
Other top-ranked players remain untouched as yet. Ranked fourth on the tour, Karen Corr remains undefeated as...

Chang Claims Second Consecutive Guinness 9 Ball Tour Billiards Event
With all four representatives going through to the final day, the Chinese-Taipei domination of the Guinness 9 Ball Tour continues as billiard ace Chang Jung-Lin overcame a stern challenge from compatriot and close friend Wang Hung-Hsiang, 11-7, to secure his second title this year as the Penang leg of Asia's premier pool competition concluded at the packed grand ball room of the G Hotel today.
Still riding the momentum from his impressive semi-final victory against Yang Ching-Shun with a hard-fought 9-6 win, it was actually Taipei's number one ranked player Wang who jumped the gun and took an early 3-1 lead, courtesy of a foul by Chang in the opening rack. Not wanting to let up the pressure, he immediately followed up the opening salvo with table routs in the second and fourth.
But as the reigning Tour champion, a confident Chang was visibly unfazed by the early deficit. Calm and collected, he quietly gathered himself and was finally able to stop the bleeding via some well placed approach shots to get back in contention 2-3.
From there on, lady luck completely turned its back on Wang as multiple errors surfaced...
