Ace Indian cueist Pankaj Advani clinched the National 6-Red Snooker Championship with a convincing 7-3 final over Maharashtra’s Ishpreet Singh here on Wednesday.
It is the 34th national title overall for Advani. After trailing 1-3 in the summit clash, the 23-time world champion proved why he is the best. After losing the opening frame, Advani bounced back to draw parity. Then two frames on the trot that had Advani’s name on them were snatched by Ishpreet as he went 3-1 up. Advani dictated the proceedings from Frame 5 onwards. “I’m particularly glad to win my 34th national title at the age of 34,” Advani said.
In the women’s edition, Aimee Kamani beat Vidya Pillai 4-2 to win the title.
