ANOTHER WORLD TITLE FOR PH AS AMIT, CENTENO ARRANGE AN ALL-FILIPINO FINALS SHOWDOWN IN WPA WOMEN'S 10-BALL

MANILA, Philippines — A Filipina is guaranteed to wrest the 2025 WPA Women's 10-ball title.

This is after Chezka Centeno and Rubilen Amit topped separate semifinal foes to forge an all-Filipina final in Bali, Indonesia on Sunday afternoon.

Centeno and Amit were scheduled to battle for the championship at 6 p.m.

Centeno defeated Liu Shasha of China, 3-0 (sets), to advance to the championship round and put herself in a position to reclaim the title.

The 26-year-old Centeno won the 2023 edition of the tournament but lost it last year after bowing out in the semifinals.

Meanwhile, Amit denied Margarita Fefilova of Belarus, 3-1, to make the final and potentially won her third 10-ball crown.

Amit seized the 2009 and 2013 editions of the tournament.

The winner between Amit and Centeno would take a prize money of $50,000 or P2.9 million while the runner-up would bag $25,000 or P1.4 million.

Liu and Fefilova bagged $16,000 or more than P900,000 each for reaching the semifinals.
