Kim Min -ah, this year, only the secretary of Kim Ga -young confronts Kim Ga -young
I met again. This time, would it be ‘2 games and 3rd’.
At 3:30 pm on the 7th, the professional billiards 2025 ~ 2026 solo exhibition 3rd tour at the KINTEX PBA Stadium in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do.
The two defeated Kim Bo -rum and Higashiuchi Natsumi (Crown Haitai) in the round of 32, respectively. As a sign of domestic women’s billiards, the confrontation of the round of 16 is expected to be the biggest hump of the two competitions.
In particular, Kim Min-ah had a painful defeat (2-4) in Kim Ga-young in the final match of the 2024-2025 season in March, and was lusted by Kim Ga-young (2-4). Kim Min -ah lost to Kim Ga -young in the 8th Tour Welcome Savings Bank Championship Finals held in January.
Kim Min -ah said, “I felt the wall” after the World Championship finals. However, since time has passed for more than four months, and there is no big difference in 2-3 losses in the full -time confrontation, it is aiming for a breakthrough in the round of 16. At the time of confrontation, Averile is also similar to each other at 1.005 (Kim Min -a) vs. 1.135 (Kim Ga -young).
Kim Min -ah is also the main force of the NH Nonghyup Card in the team league, and is focusing more because the competition will be held as a sponsorship.
Of course, Kim Ga -young, who is aiming to win 16 times, boasts a steep momentum. Kim Ga -young suffered a dizzying moment, such as being preemptive by Higashiuchi in the 32nd round, but he advanced to the round of 16 with the relaxation of the record.
In the vote, the probability of meeting with the players who have won the quarterfinals is relatively low. This is because there are a lot of players who have been in championships such as Srong Piabi (Woori Financial Capital), Kim Se -yeon (Huons), and Kim Ye -eun (Welcome Savings Bank).
Kim Min -ah said in an interview after the World Championship, “I couldn’t keep up with a comfortable ball.” He is conscious of Kim Ga -young, who is pressing the defensive operation as well as attack power.
However, if Kim Min -ah does not open the ball easily to Kim Ga -young, and Kim Ga -young solves the tricky ball presented by Kim Ga -young, the atmosphere can be different. Fans are also focusing on Kim Min -ah’s stroke, who became a challenger.
On the other hand, at the same time, the second tour winner, Srong and Kim Ye -eun, will also be held.
