2022世界花式撞球大師在直布羅陀的歐洲體育中心進入到最後一日賽程,當地時間下午時段進行了其餘三場八強的比賽。

首場比賽由香港新星盧浩琛對陣科威特39歲老將 Abdullah Alyousef,此次的大師賽都為二人的首次參賽。開賽後前六局結束 Alyousef 取得4-2領先,第7局,Alyousef 打進7號球後在8號球上形成自吊,雖順利解到8號球但也留下機會給盧浩琛並將比分改寫為4-3。第11局 Alyousef 在5做6號球上母球過了頭,薄進6號球但其旋轉過多而使母球就停在中袋口,這也讓 Alyousef 在7號球上付出高額代價,不僅錯過率先聽牌,反被對手先行取得6-5聽牌。然而盧浩琛在第12局的1傳4號球上發生失誤,給了對手一線生機並將比數扳平。第13局 Alyousef 5號球打厚未薄進底袋,盧浩琛再次回到場上並球桌上最後四顆球吃完,綜觀此場比賽雙方都出現多次失誤,但結果對盧浩琛來說是好的,最終驚險獲勝挺進半決賽。

第二場比賽由世界冠軍,德國好手 Joshua Filler 面對菲律賓名將 Dennis Orcollo。第一局開球後,Filler 的 1號球做了一個安全球,Orcollo 上場解球犯規,而這也成為 Orcollo 整場比賽唯一一次上場的時間,很快地便以 0-7 遭狀態火熱的 Filler 零封橫掃。Filler 半決賽的對手將是 “撞球王子” 柯秉逸

最後一場比賽則由西班牙中生代好手 Francisco Sanchez Ruiz 碰上波蘭的 Mieszko FortunskiSanchez Ruiz 與 Fortunski 比分緊咬,誰都無法擺脫對方拉開比數,Sanchez Ruiz 在第8局開球母球洗袋讓 Fortunski 扳平比分4-4。第11局雙方在4號球上的攻防,Sanchez Ruiz 跳球後留下機會給對手,Fortunski 上場後結束最後5顆球,最終以7-4拿下勝利,取得半決賽門票,他的對手將是在首場八強賽獲勝的香港小將盧浩琛

The semi-final line-up for the 2022 World Pool Masters is complete at the Europa Point Sports Complex, Gibraltar live on Sky Sports, DAZN, Viaplay, and Matchroom.Live in selected countries as Lo Ho Sum, Joshua Filler, and Mieszko Fortunski joined Ko Pin Yi in tonight’s finale.

Abdullah Alyousef 6-7 Lo Ho Sum
Joshua Filler 7-0 Dennis Orcollo
Francisco Sanchez Ruiz 4-7 Mieszko Fortunski

Lo found himself 4-1 down to Abdullah Alyousef who had rallied up some early confidence to leave the youngster wondering where his next shot may come on the table in a nervy affair. Alyousef is no pushover on the back of reaching the semi-finals of the World Pool Championship just a month ago, but his rhythm was disrupted in the sixth rack.

Lo had missed the two ball in his first opportunity at the table but Alyousef made a howler of an error on the three ball to put Lo back in who soon made it 4-2. The difference was soon one. In the seventh rack, Alyousef was snookered on the eight ball before making a meal of his effort for Lo to make it 4-3. Both players were making their World Pool Masters debut this week and was soon level for the first time since the start of the match at 4-4. It soon went 5-5 before Lo was first to reach the hill. Alyousef played the six ball with too much spin making the cue ball nestle inside the jaw of the middle pocket offering up a tricky pot on the seven, the Kuwaiti missed allowing Lo to reach the hill.

The miss of the tournament came in the next rack as Lo had the one ball in front of him and the five over the pocket – somehow the one ball avoided the five allowing Alyousef back to the table. Alyousef made him pay for hill-hill. Lo then completed a nervy but deserved victory in the following rack in more routine fashion to book a semi-final spot.

Nobody could’ve predicted how one-sided Filler‘s win over Dennis Orcollo would be with the German offering out a donut win over the Filipino great. Orcollo didn’t get any table time with just the one foul in the match being his only contribution. Filler‘s states were remarkable and do the storytelling of the contest better than any words.

Fortunski came up against the home favourite Sanchez Ruiz to book a maiden semi-final berth at a Matchroom event and he stood up well to the job at hand. The early exchanges saw the pair share the opening four racks. Neither Sanchez Ruiz or Fortunski could break away from eachother and a scratch on the break in the eighth for Sanchez Ruiz led to Fortunski levelling at 4-4. Into the ninth rack and Fortunski found his stroke with a break and run to make it 5-4 before another in the following rack to be on the hill at 6-4. Fortunski broke well in what proved to be in the final rack but gave Sanchez Ruiz a chance after hooking himself on the four ball. The resulting kick from Fortunski put him safe making it diffcult for Sanchez Ruiz to have a stroke on the four. Sanchez Ruiz made the jump on the four but left the table open for Fortunski to wrap up a huge victory.
