What do you think went wrong in the finals of the Nationals for you? Although I lost in the finals, I’m still happy with the way I played for the entire week. The finals were held under difficult conditions because of the moisture, but I’m sure that having improved upon my earlier rankings, I will do well at the Asian Snooker Championships, along with the other international events that will be held this calendar year. You have represented India in lot of tournaments. What is the difference between Indian and foreign cue sport players? The main difference between Indian and foreign players I feel is the number of high-quality tournaments that the overseas players play, as compared to us. But the situation today is still much better than say five years back, when we could go for only 2-3 international events per year. I think that with more exposure at the highest level, we will fare much better when representing India at the Asian Indoor Games and the World Championships. Why do you think cue sports are not very popular in India? What steps can be taken to improve its standard? The fact that cue sports in India are still not televised is perhaps the main reason why it is lacking popularity with the masses. The need of the hour is to ensure that events like the National Championships and the Asian Championships are televised live, so that it can appeal to the masses. However, I would like to add that with the introduction of the junior and the sub-junior categories at the N...

India's Pankaj Advani retained his Asian Billiards title in the 100-up format, defeating fellow countryman Brijesh Damani 5-1 in the final played at Qatar Billiards and Snooker Federation (QBSF) Academy here on Sunday. Advani, who is a 25-time International Billiards and Snooker Federation (IBSF) world champion, defeated Damani with a scoreline of 100(51)-18, 100(88)-9, 86(54)-101(75), 100-26, 100(66)-2, 101(64)-59 in the final. In the women's section, China's Bai Yulu won the title beating Panchaya Channoi of Thailand 3-0 in the final. This is the eighth Asian Billiards title in all for Advani, the Indian cue sports ace who has been bestowed the Arjuna Award in 2004, Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna in 2006, Padma Shri in 2009 and Padma Bhushan in 2018. Advani had won the same title last year at Doha. Advani, who had lost to Damani in the group stage earlier in the championship, was in great form on Sunday and won the first two games with ease. Advani, who reached the final by beating Pauk Sa of Myanmar 5-1 in the semifinals, scored half-century breaks in each of the six frames including a century break in the fourth. However, Damani, who got the better of compatriot Shrikrishna Suryanarayanan 5-4 in the last-four stage, also scored a break of 75 in the third frame but eventually had to settle for silver losing 1-5. The 37-year-old Advani from Bengaluru has won the billiards world titles 17 times, the IBSF World Billiards Championship on 16 occasions and the World Team Billia...
