Displaying unbending grit and magnificent shot-making, the 24-year-old Centeno clawed her way back from the grave and snatched a shock 9-8 hill-hill victory over British legend Allison Fisher.

MANILA, Philippines – Chezka Centeno took up billiards when she was still five years old and played in dimly lit pool halls in hometown Zamboanga City, where she used to employ a beer case to reach the pool table.

The many-time Southeast Asian Games gold winner from the Philippines dismantled an 8-4 deficit by stringing together the last five racks, including the 17th and final frame where she needed a foul by Fisher to clean up the rest and pull off one of the biggest, if not the biggest, upsets in the tournament.

It also buried the ghost of the painful past after a 9-7 quarterfinal defeat to Fisher in the Kamui World Women’s 9-Ball Championship in Atlantic City, New Jersey last January that denied her a chance at a world crown.vivo school tour updates: V29 5G takes center stage at Jose Rizal University Petro Gazz survived a third-set challenge from Gerflor in hammering out a 25-11, 25-4, 25-23 victory Saturday to regain a...
