Fisher also made her share of errors to let Yu tie at 3-3. A bathroom break with Yu's coach, while Fisher went also to gather herself. Fisher came back and took the next 4 games and led 7-3. Yu would win one more but her game was not there today as the pressure of being the sole Chinese left and the World Championship title on the line. Fisher closed out the match 9-4.
"It wasn't pretty, but I'm excited about being in the finals for the very first time", said Fisher. "I want to do it for the fans here ,too. The Filipino fans are so lovely here."
The Chinese have dominated the World 9-Ball Championship the past 3 years plus many China major events with foreigners. This will be the second time China has not had a player in the World 10-Ball Championship finals. China had the largest contingent of players in the event with 8 players, one third of the field.
"This World Championship is not in China. It makes a big difference", says Fisher.
