SEO SEOA is the LITTLE MONSTER Women’s International Open Champion as she took down Kelly Fisher by two sets to zero in a high-quality final that hinged on a few small positional errors. The Korean lady ran undefeated through the tournament and can claim a winner’s cheque for $22,500 for her stellar efforts.
A winner of the Predator PBS Indonesia International Women’s Open back in July; Seoa can look forward to the Kamui WPA Women’s 9-Ball World Championship in Jacksonville next month with sky-high confidence. Both sets were won by 4-3 indicating the closeness but it was Fisher who gave the most away.
Commented Seoa, “I’m so happy now as it felt such a long day. At the start I played not so well but I’m trying to do my best. The second set I think I played better than the first and also, I was a little lucky because Kelly missed a 9-ball and then I had a chance to win the match.
“I was always working hard and practicing every day and there’s one more tournament the World 9-ball Championship and I’ll do my best in that tournament too. I’ll be eating dinner with the Korean team as they’ve supported me a lot so I’ll buy them a good dinner!” she added.
For Fisher, it was always disappointing to lose a big final but she felt that her game is trending in the right direction; “Potting-wise, I didn’t miss but my safeties weren’t there. Either too thick, too thin, overrunning. I did kind of run out but missed position on an 8 or a 9 and then didn’t do a good safe to back it up and I lost racks that I shouldn’t have lost.
“I really felt like I lost three of four racks that I shouldn’t have lost. However, Seoa punishes you and that’s what she’s there to do and she’s good at that and cleared the table each time or put me in a better snooker. Great player, great opponent so congratulations to her. But it could have gone either way but a few shots kind of killed it for me.”
Both players are still in the mix in the Little Monster Mixed Doubles Open which continues tomorrow at the quarter-final stage. Seoa is paired up with Wiktor Zielinski and they face Zhang Muyan and Oliver Szolnoki, while Kelly partners ‘pool hubby’ Alex Zazakis as they look forward to Savannah Easton and Jonas Souto.
