Alison Fisher will join Kelly Fisher as the UK faces the three-time Philippine champion in the Billiards World Cup.

Three-time world champion Kelly Fisher and Alison Fisher are heading to the Philippines to participate in the World Billiards Cup, which kicks off Sunday 9 May in Milton Keynes on Sky Sports.

Ninth World Champion Kelly Fisher and Hall of Famer Alison Fisher will face Great Britain against the Philippines led by Roberto Gomez and Jeff De Luna.

Austria (Albin Auchan and Mario He) will begin their defense against Slovakia, with the goal of becoming the first duo to win the title three times.

The hosts of Great Britain (Jason Shaw and Chris Melling) will face duo Margarita Vivelova and Jana Halliday for the first time in Belarus.

Sixteen automatically ranked teams were entered into the raffle and 16 unranked teams were drawn at random. Much is set for the entire tournament, with some hearty second-round matches including the US (Skyler Woodward and Billy Thorpe) against the Philippines.

The favorite Japanese team (Naoyuki Ui and Masato Yoshioka) will meet Croatia (Philip Stoyanovic and Roberto Bartol) on the opening day.

All first-round matches are races to 7, with three matches per session and two sessions per day.
