In the early Sunday hours of the WPA World 9-Ball Junior Championship finals, Christian Gotemann of Germany defeated Sheng Chang Huang, 11-9, in a grueling exchange that tested both player's safety abilities, as well as their stamina. With men's and women's matches ending late, the junior test didn't end until 1:30 a.m. Gotemann trailed Huang 9-7 at one point, before running three racks to take the lead, 10-9. Both players traded safeties in the final game until Gotemann finally saw daylight and ran out for victory.
