Chieh-Yu Chou of Chinese Taipei won the 2022 WPA Women's World 10-Ball Championship, defeating compatriot Wei Tzu-chien 9-3 in the final. Chou used precise break shots and strategic safety play to control the match throughout.

The all-Taiwanese final highlighted the island nation's strength in international pool competition. Both players had established themselves as top competitors on the global circuit. The 10-ball format requires demanding shot selection and strategic play, which suited Chou's methodical style of competition.

This victory proved significant for Chou's career trajectory. Following her 2022 triumph, she captured the 2023 WPA Women's World 9-Ball Championship with a 9-0 shutout victory over Allison Fisher. This made Chou the first woman since Kelly Fisher in 2012 to simultaneously hold both the world 9-ball and 10-ball titles.

The championship run reflected the depth of talent from Chinese Taipei's pool scene. Both finalists represented a generation of technically skilled players who combine fundamentals with modern tactical approaches. Chou's victory over Wei demonstrated individual excellence and the quality of Taiwan's player development system.

The 2022 championship launched Chou's remarkable six-month stretch that included a runner-up finish at the World Games and culminated with her achieving double world championship status. Her 9-3 victory over Wei marked the beginning of one of the most impressive championship runs in recent women's pool history, establishing Chou as a leading figure in the sport.
