Defending champion Seo Seoa made short work of a rematch with Chezka Centeno in Bali on Friday, blanking the Filipino star 3–0 (sets 4–2, 4–2, 4–1) to reach the semi-finals of the 2026 Kamui WPA Women’s 9-Ball World Championship. It was revenge for Seo after Centeno’s 3–0 win in their August World 10-Ball semi in Rome — and a clear statement that the Jacksonville world title is not changing hands without a fight.
With that result and the rest of the quarter-final slate completed, the last four is locked: Seo Seoa vs Wei Tzu-Chien and Chihiro Kawahara vs Chou Chieh-Yu (Saturday afternoon, Korea time 15:00 for the Seo–Wei tip per Korean reports). Streams remain on Pro Billiard TV and the Predator Pro Billiard Series channels from the Bali International Convention Centre.
