On the evening of October 26, Tran Quyet Chien faced Peter Ceulemans (Belgium) in the semi-final match of the Veghel 2024 Billiards World Cup taking place in the Netherlands. Before this match, fans were looking forward to a victory for Tran Quyet Chien, so that they could witness Vietnam's number 1 player compete with Frederic Caudron in the final match.

Tran Quyet Chien had a very good start, entering the match with an 8-point series in the opening round. The player born in 1984 continuously increased the gap, while the Belgian player could not find a hit point. In the 5th round, Quyet Chien had a 5-point series to take the lead 17-5. The Vietnamese player continued to launch a 7-point series in the 8th round to bring the match into the break, creating a gap of nearly 20 points (leading 27-6) with Peter Ceulemans.

In the second half of the match, Tran Quyet Chien could no longer maintain the same scoring speed as in the first half. Since the break, the 40-year-old player could only score 10 points after 9 shots. This was also the time when the Belgian player took advantage of the opportunity to break away, with regular scoring shots. Ceulemans had consecutive series of 3, 4, 5, 6 points to shorten the gap to 32-39, after 18 shots.

It was not until the 22nd round, when the score was 43-37, that Tran Quyet Chien could clearly feel the "heat" created by the Belgian player. In the 23rd round, Vietnam's number 1 player calmly scored a series of 7 points to end the match, winning convincingly 50-37 against Peter Ceulermans.

Tran Quyet Chien won a ticket to the final match of the Veghel Billiards World Cup 2024. Quyet Chien's opponent in the championship match is Frederic Caudron, who defeated Nguyen Tran Thanh Tu in the semi-finals.

It can be said that Tran Quyet Chien and Caudron have a good relationship. In their last encounter at the 2024 Porto Billiards World Cup in July, Quyet Chien defeated Caudron 40-38.
