When you look at this with the past two events that saw Gerda Hofstatter and Anna Kostanian making it to the TV round, all the sudden you have a very different WPBA.

I mean how cool was it to see Anna Kostanian up against Xiaoting Pan and Jasmin Ouschan against Ga Young Kim in the semifinals of the Generation Pool tournament?  Unless something catastrophic happens, Anna should coast into the Round of 16 at which point it will be the luck of the redraw.

We’ll see what happens tonight, but the future is definitely looking bright for the WPBA.
