Xiaoting Pan

Xiaoting Pan has been dubbed "9-Ball Pool Queen" by the press in Asia.   Born in China February 25, 1982, she now resides in Shanghai, China and travels to the U.S. to play in WPBA events.  She represented China in the Asian Games in December of 2006.  In that same year, she was named the Women’s Professional Billiard Association’s (WPBA) Rookie of the Year.

Pan was runner-up at the WPBA’s inaugural event in 2007, the Carolina Classic, but took her first tour win at the Great Lakes Classic later on, besting Sweden’s Helena Thornfeldt 7-2.

Pan lists the Chinese Athletes Education Foundation as a charity affiliate. She is sponsored by Xing Pai and Mengnui Dairy.

Xiaoting Pan has played several U.S. regional events and won many.  In 2006, she was named the WPBA Rookie of the Year.  If her record in these events and the success that she has had on the international level is any indication of what is to come, expect to see Xiaoting Pan holding a trophy from a major tournament over her head very soon.

Xiaoting Pan won her first WPBA Tour title at the 2007 WPBA Great Lakes Classic in Michigan City, IN when she defeated Helena Thornfeldt in the finals.  With her second place finish at the WPBA Carolina Billiards Classic in Rocky Mount, NC, Xiaoting Pan is building a huge following in the U.S.
