Emily Duddy v Kyoko Sone WPBA Masters 2019

six, um, it's a very difficult shot to pass there, you have to hit it perfectly over the rail to get it through, another good shot here is to hit the five from there to the bottom. off the table and steps forward and puts the cue ball behind the six, but she made the five ball look pretty easy, she just punches it and it comes on the short side, she's left handed so this is a pretty easy shot for her, yes, quite severe. angle, yeah, I see, I'm not sure if she was trying to pocket that ball or play it safe, but either way she hit it very softly, yeah, it looked like she wasn't, she wasn't fully committed, one way or another , Yeah.

She had a tentative hit for sure, well Kyoko has a chance to take a 3-1 lead here, okay, if he's playing safe, she cut that ball, good job getting the cue ball behind the eight and that was the main feature there, I think Emily will have a kick shot, that was a very, very good shot, oh look at the kiss, oh boy, that was close, that was a good shot, this cue ball is a little bit off from the railing, uh

kyoko

. I could bank this, but yeah, she has a kick shot too, Brittany Bryant is currently Lee, excuse me, I'm following Lena Shores' victim three to one at the next table, that's it, so the ball goes up table distance is our friend on the table just to We have Kathy Metzinger, a Canadian champion, and she's on the table now.

We'll try to get an update on that score here as soon as we can. She will play the 20-year-old Russian girl. Yes, Christina just had a heartbreak. Until the end, yes, and she was on the hill first. She had Kelly eight to six, I think, and uh, yeah, was it Kelly or was she weak and he was weak? We weren't, no, I'm Christina, oh, you know, she was. She was thinking. I was thinking it was Christina Koch and uh Scott Quimby the tournament director said he asked her directly and she said it was Takach so with the t is not silent yeah that's what they told me at Derby City and also I asked for. but not only was it told to me by a person who may or may not have been right, well if she told Koch it's probably true, yeah I'm sure it is anyway, she just suffered heartbreak over a loss , was ahead eight and six. and wayway got him out, beat his nine eight meanwhile these two have been in a safety battle on the sixth ball repeatedly back and forth back and forth uh kyogre has a bank shot here on this if you want to keep going with this and I you know I hope she continues the battle for safety here, yes, me too, it's just that she doesn't have a big enough lead and she's, you know, very close to the rail, which makes it difficult to maneuver the ball white, it was a difficult shot, a difficult shot, yes. like uh, I like, instead of trying to hold the six ball when you're when you get hit, traveling so far, I like to just go ahead and tip it into the corner, maybe play a little bit on the bench on the pro side. short, you know, just you know, short or at a table and a half speed where it would go back up and then come back to the center of the table, you don't really have any risk of it going out that way or just fanning out. under the six and come and try to get behind the nine yeah that's another good one too yeah that was probably the easiest shot actually I think it's an excellent shot that should be all he wrote for this match it's in good, she has a good line to take the mind, just go all the way down, round, she's shooting in the corner, no, she's shooting that way, yeah, very good, you know, I would have had a different way of Shooting that ball would have been just going down to the end of the rail. through the first diamond here and then up and that way you won't have to take care of it again and she's a little hard on this nine because she tried to hold it, but I think she'll be fine, very nice, okay. great job

emily

duddy

was born in burbank california however lives in new york city new york she has been a professional since 2010 her nickname is the pool bomb and she is sponsored by the uh amsterdam pool club in new york city kamui and gary borge dental, okay, getting ready to break, okay, she has to go look at the two, three are gone, so she should play ground position, okay, she chose to live a long straight shot on the ground, okay, failed to pocket the ball, fine cut on the four. ball, which means the cue ball is going to travel, hopefully, hopefully, you'll be able to keep the tumbler on the right side of the table.

Okay, she chose to play it safe, I think because she felt like she couldn't keep the ball on that side. from the table Emily can have the right edge of the cue ball of the object ball and just swing it oh she wasn't swinging at all she was swinging unfortunately it wasn't worth it to just cut this ball to the side and slide it. to the side rail and come out for the five, that's fine, he'll just go for one rail, he'll play the six on the same side he shot before and it's good, he could move forward and he ended up shooting in the corner and that's fine too, he's in good shape state. shape now practically connects the dots from here pull back a little for the seven in the corner pull back a little for the eight on the side very nice and now just go down for the nine in the opposite corner

kyoko

has been working with a good friend of mine, Canadian pro Paul Pottier since 1997 and a great player, many times Canadian champion, she's going around now, that's cute, cute, cute and she plays with uh an atom japan q musashi by adam japan, very cute, okay , ties him to three.

Over the course of her career, she turned professional in 1993, so over the course of her 26-year career, she amassed quite the resume. She was the number one player in the Japanese professional circuit in 0103 04, 2012 and 2017. In 2015, she won the Kanto. 2015 Open, she also won the 2014 Japan Open, Oso Horo Me, 2013 Hoco Riku Open, 2010 Kansai Open, WPBA San Diego Classic, 1998 Japan Open and third place world championship. of 2000, good rest, I want a preparation for a feasible shot, however, two tied, she has a good line to bag one and take out both, yes, I think, well, I'm not sure, I'm not sure if she's going to shoot this or hit this i think he's going to shoot it looks like he kill the center ball difficult shot with the bridge can't even put the bridge on the table for stability it was a difficult shot and when it comes to the tail check it out at one five it's off angle I try to turn around very nice little under this wall of balls very nice we can see her take out her jumping cue okay she's going to kick oh boy she feathered it oh and she broke those balls well that was a good shot for Emily, of course, this initial shot is not easy, she is elevated over the four and there is plenty of table on the way back for the two of us good shot, well, turning around, it looks like it will slow down perfectly , very cute, there couldn't be anything better than that big shot and her looking to see if she wants to follow it forward and shoot the three down here in the bottom right corner or if she just wants to slide over and shoot the two and the three in the same pocket, wanted to slide a little more. but it's still okay, you're going to have to go up to no, actually, this is the floor down here, so it's okay, just stay in the same general area and then go back up to the table for the five, you clipped it but you had a good smooth pocket speed.

Now I think he's just going to drag it over the side rail to the ground, drag it to the table, oh, watch out, watch out, he's playing the position for the seven on the side, just one rail looks like he's pretty straight on the ball. Yes, apparently she's looking to see where she wants to be so the eight can shoot him around the corner. I think she'll shoot the eight and the nine to get the nine in the same pocket. She just stuns the nine. the sun sets and it gets really nice like this, okay, regain the lead 4-3 lena korswick just extended her lead over brittany bryant five to one britney is taking a break helena tornfeldt is in a battle with jai lee jai lee ha rained down a 4-0 she had a great match against monica webb earlier today she played very well she's on the board 4-1 jai lee okay

emily

has a good opening shot on one bring it back for both just hit this with a stop stop run slide to the right a little well you should go one or two or two rails to position yourself on the five in the same corner and she will slide to the side rail and out to have an angle to arrive on the eight , maybe even just roll over to the rail and come out like this, all right, okay, now just bring it back just to draw, even we don't really have to draw it, just a low ball and the cue ball will come back.

I don't really have to draw this to get it out, that's how it is and I think we're going to see, well, she has a choice: you can take care of the ball and shoot the nine in the opposite corner or she would rather do it. Wow, I don't like pampering them. She would have gone back and shot them both in the same pocket, but as I say, the combination of the Simonis and Diamond table makes hitting the ball softly a much easier proposition. Well, she's taking a two-game lead here. to three very well kyoko knows she needs to win this game it's a big difference between six three and five four it's a great game good break corner ball I think it's an illegal break she only got one ball below the head line pocketed one and one ball under emily is going to pass it back to him it's kind of funny the way all the balls seem to line up almost looking like a drill she's going to push towards the middle of the unreal he's taking a look at the shot he's coming back towards down welcome back lightning bolt hey mayor it looks like Kyoko has a view of a ball and might even go to the side pocket but the cue ball will be tracked the hard way and will be tracked back to the corner where she is, I don't know if I would shoot it, I was trying to park it under those five, yeah, that's fatal, this can be fatal, yeah, it looks like the one that goes straight to the side or straight to the corner, yeah, oh, yeah, it's like the fastball uh straight on the side um fastball in the corner um I could leave it on the rail oh she does a great job look at that yeah, she held it uh let the table hit the ball soft enough for the table to take it in the pocket Here, as you can see from this angle, the three of them look very difficult to pass the four, yeah, I don't think his pocket is full, I think he has to draw it back and shoot the three in the other, oh yeah, well , he returned it to him. to kyoko, but unfortunately kyoko is kicking, I think she's going to try to go under this and kick it towards the table and leave the cue ball down here, she might even have it partially hooked in the seven bowl, it's hard to tell, apparently not, now he is looking. to see if those three make it past the floor, yeah that seems hard too, maybe it's hard to tell from here, but hey, she's high tailing so that means she's going to go to the railing, turn around and catch, yeah , brutal, well, at the next table is lena schwarzvick. leading brittany bryant five to one currently that will be ball in hand for emily

duddy

uh kyoko oh kyoko yeah sorry ok kyoko must love it because she's had a couple of bad rolls and emily played well behind them and served go ahead so there's a chance that they're okay and uh it's a chance for her to close that gap that she doesn't want to become 6'3 5'4 sounds a lot better absolutely if you're uh kyoko these are pretty good she you don't have to move the cue ball it's more or less a little moon on the cue ball stop, stop, stop, stop, I can't tell if the seven goes to the eight and the right side or not, I think it's not positive, but it seems but it's close she's just going to go up a rail under the nine so just make sure she doesn't lift you up and I think she did that's exactly what you did yeah it's amazing you know there's a there's like a you know maybe a point three inch point where you're elevated, yeah, and anywhere but that three inch point is fine, yeah, and that's it, it's amazing how often we go to that place, it's almost like maybe our mind We might be thinking that it is that place and then it naturally draws us towards it.

I don't know, it's a phenomenon. Years ago, when I had my pool hall, I was lucky enough to have all the good players come into Grady Matthews at one time or another. He talked about it and said that when you go to the last rail that you're going to hit, he says don't play your way out of it unless you have to, if you only play to hit it, he says because then it's the natural thing to do. The momentum on the rail will get you off the rail very well, so don't try to play with speed at the exact point you want, let the table do it for you on that last shot and it seems to hold up better on the tables. diamonds. that in the gold crowns because the diamond rails are so alive they're so receptive that I'm full of it when I get home my uh my friend down there colonel billy miller has a diamond oh yeah and uh and I'm I'm gonna have my gold crown installed in about a month and of course we will have the opportunity to play at both tables.

Well, Kyoko felt a little weird about theeverywhere yes it is, it's very close, it's not as big a walk as the derby, yes, but the derby has the moving escalator and the ferry, that's true, there is no ferry here, yes, no, nothing . only you are right, you just have to walk, just put your head down, chase it, yes that's right, but it's a beautiful Maria, a lot of people also don't realize that they know they have a problem with a foot that does it. It's a little difficult to walk more hey, but at least I keep walking, that's right, that's right, it might take me longer, but I get there, that's right and we're happy about it, me too, me too, it's okay, shelf 15 .Here we go, opportunity. to move on, go up the hill first, yeah, great game here, she's got a really good break, I mean, she hits that ball square and she had made a ball and she's got three balls past a head line there, like that that kyoko will have a chance. in a ball and she can go right back to the table for the two that are on the bottom rail here, this is another one of those shelves, you know, the ones that are on one end of the table, the two are on the other. back up for the three down here for the flat to the side there's a lot of work on this rack that's a beautiful shot what a nice shot yeah, it's not completely sewn uh emily will have the opportunity to hit this ball a couple of different ways, but with pretty good security, alright though, here he goes, he's going to kick two rails, nice hit, it's not going to work, although it looks like Kyoko will have a chance against the one in the corner pocket, kyoko waiting for um christina .OMG, at the next table, congratulations to Liz the Blizzard Cole at table number one for meeting Ashley Burroughs and moving forward.

Keep that round for Ashley Pearls from Brooklyn, New York. Her tournament was completed by winning 1200. So, like this, like this, like that, okay, uh Mary. And I had to step away for a brief second there and uh Kiyoko Sonay on the hill first 8-7 and Mary Kennison came back with this too, welcome back Mary, thank you, thank you boy, when I left, Yoko was down seven to five, okay, yeah, wow. In fact, when I left it was seven seven, but she had returned from seven five, so he went up the hill first, another good close game.

You know, the games are heating up here as we get closer to the final, which is tomorrow. at 5 p.m., the first time scheduled for you, well, Emily can see the entire ball but she can't attend, she can deposit it, although yeah, I was just going to say just pick it up, yeah, look, this is where the life is experience and seasoning. she comes in, she's nervous, she needed to take a little more time and pay a little more attention to accuracy on that bench, right, she was a little messy and she hit it and you know she had a hard time because she came back and kissed the cue ball, yeah unfortunately she got away with it and left Kyoko hooked, she's going for the shorty only slightly hooked here so it shouldn't be that bad, yeah it's about half a bull helmet, I think the good thing about this is if he pockets the ball, he will be in line and in position for the four.

OK Valley's effort left Emily Hard and then clipped the rail. Good hit. Oh, watch out, watch out, watch out, she may have gotten there. She's close, I think she's another inch away. She would have gotten hooked, I think she is fine, but now she will slip and she will stay away from that disease. You don't rise. It may be okay. You can't tell if she is elevated or not. You can indicate on the left side. favorite left side of the ball and luckily she didn't really have much to do with the cute one with the cue ball and I think she's just going to slide over the round towards the 50 yard line between the seven and well she's trapped. the corners difficult shot in any direction a little easier cutting it to the left make sure not to scratch the side pocket you know how to rise to the occasion in these situations mary is I mean, this is what separates the you know and even if you don't go up, it doesn't mean you're not a champion it just means maybe you didn't get there this time or maybe it's just a matter of time, yeah that's true, but these are some tough situations, wow and that's, uh, survival, the party group and this is where, as I was talking before, with Kryoko, she has you know, 25 years of experience under her belt, she has experienced, you know, she has been here before to rise from the dead and fight until the end. difficult tournament well she has a fantastic opportunity here again very close to the corner pocket these rails can act funny and she played it well there is no beautiful shot beautiful shot now I think it just slides uh draws a slide up on the table shoot the nine in the lower right corner, okay she chose to go from a rail to the other side, I think I say player preference and how nice to have a fastball on the nine ball for the game winning shot, good job , he understands it.

Kyoko Sony had to win 9-7, okay, let's save that one, folks, and we'll be back in about nine minutes for our four o'clock winter game with janet atwell and jennifer beretta, don't go too far, I'm your host, ray hansen with action in the group. tv in my name and that of mary kenniston we will be back soon friends, congratulations to kyoko himself
