The 2nd CBSA ‘Sanlig’ China Billiard World Championship final was between Shi Hanqing from China and Mick Hill from England. They played the full 41 racks and Shi Hanqing won the title with the smallest margin, 21-20.
The final was a close game from the beginning to the end, with the largest lead being 3 when Hill was 15-12 up during the second session. In rack 38, Shi Hanqing was about to grab the game point when he was up 19-18. He cut the black into the corner pocket but scratched cue ball into the side and the score came to 19-19. After each player won another rack, Mick Hill made a dry break in the decider with solid balls spreading well. Shi cleared the table to become the first male Chinese Championship in this event.
The controversial part came in late in the game when Shi Hanqing intentionally fouled on breaks twice, in rack 38 and 40 respectively. According to the rules, fouls on breaks without four balls touching the rails will leave the opponent with three options: accept the current table and play on, rerack and break or rerack and let the fouling player break again. Hill chose to take the break himself both times and won those two racks.
Shi explained the reason of intentional fouls on breaks. ‘No ball’s falling in my breaks and ball distribution appeared good for my opponent. I was winning when I slowed down the pace and play safeties, so I have to avoid dry breaks.’ said Shi Hanqing after the game. ‘I think it was the right strategy at that time but was unfortunate to lose that two racks. In fact, I was able to win the deciding rack given my opponent’s dry break.’
Chinese players made more than half of the last 16, but Shi didn’t think it means Chinese players are dominant in this game. ‘Those international players lack the experience and tactical plays in Chinese 8 ball. I was more familiar with the table and rules so that gives me an advantage and made 50% of the total contribution to my wining outcome.’
CBSA“上菱電梯杯”中式台球世錦賽於玉山一中體育館落下帷幕。在最後的男子決賽中，石漢青與大黑馬Michael Hill戰滿41局，最終以21-20擊敗對手，驚險奪冠。
石漢青與Hill的決賽進行的膠著且流暢，從比賽開始，雙方最大分差只有在15-12時拉到到3局，其餘時段兩人的分差始終保持在2局之內。比賽末段，石漢青取得了19-18的領先。第37局，石漢青本有機會獲得賽點，但在打進黑球8後，白球意外落袋，兩人再度回同一起跑線。
此後，石漢青再勝1局，20-19，石漢青奪得賽點。第30局，石漢青有機會贏得比賽，但在擊打黑球前的6號球時出現失誤，上手的Hill完成清臺，頑強的將比分扮成20-20。決勝局由Hill衝球，Hill衝球後沒有落球，並且全色球優勢明顯，石漢青穩穩完成清台。21-20，石漢青在絕殺Hill，成為第一位獲得中式台球世錦賽冠軍的中國球員。
而比賽末段，石漢青兩次故意開球失誤，將開球權拱手送回，成為爭議的焦點。賽後，石漢青獨家向TOP147記者解析了自己的戰術選擇。
比賽末段，石漢青19-18領先Hill。第37局，石漢青估故意小力衝球，按照賽規，在沒有4顆球碰台邊的情況下，對手可以選擇讓對手重新開球、自己重新開球或繼續擊打。隨後Hill選擇自己衝球，大力衝球雖然沒有完成青苔，但Hill還是憑借石漢青最後的白球落袋獲得了該局的勝利。第39局，石漢青故技重施，再次故意小力開球，將衝球權拱手送給對手。
石漢青的這兩次戰術選擇引起了頗大的爭議，賽後石漢青向本站記者解釋了自己的戰術意圖，“我之前連續衝球都是雷鋒炸，衝球後對手上手就能完成清台。而我贏球的幾局，都是通過防守、攻防轉換、合理布局，慢慢磨贏的。我的雷鋒炸讓對手贏得太輕鬆了，所以我一定要想辦法避免。”
雖然小力衝球的兩局都沒能幫助石漢青取勝，但石漢青認為自己的戰術起到了效果。“第37局最冤，是我自己打黑球後落袋，要不然可以直接獲得賽點。第38局，我也有機會清台，只是打丟了6號球。所以我的戰術起到了效果。實際上，最後一局，也是因為對手開球沒下，我才獲得機會的。”
第一屆中式台球世錦賽，兩位英國選手會師決賽，而本次比賽，石漢青奪得冠軍，在16強之後，中國選手在數量上也占據優勢。中國選手在中式台球項目上的優勢奪回了麽？對此，石漢清的態度非常謹慎。“不能說奪回了，國外選手對中式台球不太了解、規則不熟悉，戰術理解的也不好。”
既然石漢青直言外國選手對規則和戰術不熟悉，那麽石漢青能夠奪冠，對規則理解透徹、對戰術運用得當有多少功勞？石漢青的回答直接且誠懇，“50%！”
