If Looks could Kill : The beautiful Xiaofang Fu at the World 10-Ball Championship.Manila, Philippines- Former World 9-Ball Champ Xiaofang Fu of China clinched the #1 seed yesterday at the Yalin World 10-Ball Championship.

Between the 5 Chinese women, they have won 22 matches and lost only 3 so far in the event.
The Dragon Promotions produced 4th Annual Yalin Women's World 10-Ball Championship is the most followed women's event of the year. In the host country of the Philippines, it is the biggest female sporting event of the country.

Star Billiards and Pool & Billiard Magazine are also proud supporters.

Robinson's Galleria is connected to the host hotel Crowne Plaza Galleria. With massive media and global networks covering the Yalin Women's World 10-Ball Championship, it will continue as still the biggest and most watched women's billiard event in the world.
Fu took out South Korea's Eunji Erica Park 6-2 in her toughest match. Siming shutout Filipina #2 ranked Iris Ranola 6-0 on route to her group domination, while Pan went undefeated and only challenged by Kajitani of Japan, and then great match on TV with Australia' Lyndal Hulley 6-4 where she miraculously overcame the Aussie who did not miss a single shot in the match.
