We’re talking 3-cushion billiards, but the story plays out like a full season grind in any tough league.
Season Performance Analysis (2025)
This season, Sidhom S. didn’t just show up — he played like a guy who knows exactly when to push the gas and when to control the tempo.
Think of 2025 as a player who learned how to win ugly games and beautiful games.
Core Numbers (2024 → 2025)
Average: 1.675 → 1.699
Points per Game: 39.00 → 39.29
Points Against per Game: 35.64 → 34.82
Point Difference: +3.36 → +4.47
Record:
2024: 24–12 (36 games)
2025: 26–12 (38 games)
That jump in point difference is key. He’s not just winning — he’s controlling matches.
Defensively, giving up almost one full point less per game shows smarter shot selection and fewer gifts to opponents. That’s veteran decision-making.
Big Tournament Impact – Egypt 2025
The Egypt World Cup was his statement game.
Like a road playoff win in a hostile arena, Sidhom peaked when the lights were brightest. His ELO jump to 1740 is no accident — that’s the rating of a player who beat quality opponents, not just padded stats.
On the ELO chart:
Early 2025 dips (Portugal ~1575) show a mid-season wobble
Belgium & Korea were stabilization games
Egypt = breakout performance
That last spike is what scouts love: finish strong.

ELO Trajectory – Career View (2019–2025)
If you look at his long-term ELO curve, this isn’t a one-season wonder.
Career Story in Simple Terms:
2019–2021:1400s ELO — raw talent, inconsistent execution
2022–2023:1600–1700 range — confidence, bigger wins, deeper runs.
2024: Ups and downs, but holding ground.
2025: Prime window opens 1740 peak, World Cup winner mindset.
Every great player has a phase where results catch up to ability. 2025 is that phase.

What the Numbers Really Say
Higher scoring efficiency
Better defense
Same losses, more wins
Stronger finish than start
In billiards language:
Better averages under pressure
Cleaner endings to racks
Fewer mental lapses late in matches
This is the profile of a player who knows how to close.

Sidhom’s history shows resilience. His season shows maturity. His ELO shows credibility.
He’s no longer the kid trying to hang with the top table —he’s the guy others circle on the draw sheet and say:
“That’s a tough match.”
