World Billiards: Kothari knocks Advani out

Defending world billiards champion in the long-up format, Sourav Kothari, on Thursday knocked out Pankaj Advani in the pre-quarterfinal of the World Championship here. In one of his most commanding performances, Kothari amassed huge breaks of 407, 295 and 170 in a display of relentless scoring to register a comfortable 1047-663 win over Advani in a match stretched to two hours and 30 minutes.

Kothari enters World Billiards final

Defending champion Sourav Kothari on Friday continued his spectacular show to outperform multiple-time world champion Mike Russell of England in the semifinal and book his second consecutive World Billiards (long-up) final. Such was Kothari’s dominance in the game that with 45 minutes remaining on the clock in the four-hour semifinal, Russell conceded the match apparently due to not having enough time remaining for him to overcome the huge deficit of nearly 600 points. In the end, Kothari prevailed 1090-594 with breaks of 205, 195, 175, 128 and 103, whereas Russell made breaks of 247, 131 and 121. AGENCIES
