Aloysius Yapp wrote another unforgettable chapter in pool history, defeating World No.1 Fedor Gorst to lift his maiden US Open Pool Championship crown at the Harrah’s Resort, Atlantic City.
In doing so, the Singaporean star became the first player ever to win three consecutive Matchroom majors – adding the US Open to his UK Open and Florida Open triumphs earlier this year. The victory also propels Yapp to World No.2 in the Nineball Rankings, cementing his status as one of the sport’s elite.
“This is a dream come true – I can’t even describe how I feel right now. I’ve wanted this title for so many years, and there were times I wondered if it would ever happen. To finally lift the US Open, against the World No.1, is unbelievable."
“The pressure out there was immense – my hands were shaking throughout. Fedor is such a tough opponent, one of the very best, and I have so much respect for him. We both made mistakes, but it was an epic final and I’m proud of how I held myself together."
“Since winning the UK Open I’ve felt a new belief in myself, and to now win Florida and the US Open back-to-back shows that it’s not luck – it’s hard work, preparation, and trust in my game. This moment means everything to me.”
