It can be said that in the opening match of the 2025 World Games, Tran Quyet Chien has not really "warmed up". Bury did not play well. However, the Vietnamese player could not take advantage of the opportunity to have a series. Tran Quyet Chien missed many "side" shots, which was quite regrettable.

In the 24th turn, when the score was 31-27, Bury had a series of 7 points to lead 38-27. At this time, the French player was very close to his second consecutive victory.

In the 25th turn, Bury scored 2 points to reach the 40-point mark first. In the second turn, Tran Quyet Chien calmly scored 4 points. In the end, Tran Quyet Chien tied 40-40 with Jeremy Bury.
