😱 NO ONE EXPECTED IT! Efren Reyes Stunned When He Defeated China's Number 1 Woman In A Tense Match!

In the world of billiards, where every shot can decide the fate of a match, it is often said that “experience is something money cannot buy.” And in an iconic confrontation, Efren “Bata” Reyes – a living legend of the Philippine billiards scene – proved that to be absolutely true.

No one expected that, at the age of over 60, he could stand firm against a young, strong and technically sharp opponent like the current number 1 female player in China – an emerging icon of the Asian billiards scene. However, Reyes not only stood firm, but also stunned everyone by defeating her in a tense and emotional match.

The match took place at an international exhibition tournament held in Shanghai, which brought together the most prominent names in the world of billiards. The match between Reyes and China's number 1 female player - who has won many international tournaments and is the new pride of Chinese sports - is considered a "confrontation between generations". On one side is the "wizard" of billiards with unimaginable shots, on the other side is the rising queen with a strong, precise attacking style.

From the moment he entered the auditorium, Reyes received a warm welcome from the audience. However, most viewers believed that he would not be able to withstand the overwhelming power of his young opponent.

Whispers arose, many people thought that this would be Reyes' "farewell match", the last time he played against an opponent at the peak of his form.

But Reyes - as usual - did not let expectations or skeptical looks shake his spirit. He entered the match with a calm demeanor, his eyes lit up every time he held the cue, and his signature half-smile seemed to say, “I’m not done yet.”

The match started at an extremely fast pace. The Chinese player dominated the match, leading 3-0 in the first 3 games within 10 minutes. Her shots were sharp, not giving Reyes any room to counterattack.

The whole audience seemed to explode, cheering enthusiastically for the representative of the host country. But on the opposite side, Reyes remained unusually calm. And then, the unexpected happened.

Entering the fourth game, Reyes had the first chance to control the table. And right then, the audience witnessed a truly magical performance. Precise cross-table shots, tricky ball control through seemingly impossible corners… Reyes gradually brought the match back to balance. Not only did he tie the score at 3-3, but he also continued to win three more games to lead 6-3. The atmosphere in the auditorium changed from excitement to amazement and gradually became quiet.

The Chinese player refused to give up. She tried hard to chase the score, shortening the gap to 6-5. In the 12th game - the key game, both made small mistakes due to psychological pressure. Billiards at this time was no longer simply a technical game, but a real mental battle.

Reyes, with more than four decades of experience, knew how to take advantage of every opportunity. He launched a magical double shot, controlling the main ball to eat the 9 ball in the far corner of the table - a shot that was considered unimaginable in that situation.

The entire auditorium stood up and applauded, while the Chinese player stood still, his eyes unable to believe what he had just witnessed.

The match ended with a score of 7-5 in favor of Efren Reyes. No one was speechless. Partly out of amazement, partly out of admiration. Chinese fans, despite their disappointment, could not help but bow their heads to the talent and courage of the Filipino “wizard”.

In a post-match interview, Reyes modestly shared: “I just tried to enjoy the match. She is an excellent player, very fast and accurate. I had to use all my experience to keep up with her.”

For her part, China’s number 1 female cueist also expressed her deep admiration: “I grew up watching his videos. It was an honor to play against Efren Reyes. Even though I lost, I learned a lot – not only about technique, but also about composure and respect for the opponent.”

The match quickly went viral on social media, with millions of views and shares in just a few hours. The global pool community calls this an “unforgettable confrontation” – where time seemed to stand still, allowing a legend to write the final magical chapter of his illustrious career.

No one could have imagined that an old player like Efren Reyes could still play pool at such a high level. But he did. And with his familiar cue stick, he not only defeated an excellent opponent, but also proved once again that: miracles still exist – if you are a true “wizard”.
