Agra: World Champion Pankaj Advani scored a stunning 5-4 victory over Geet Sethi in a nerve-wracking final to retain his National Billiards title in Agra on Saturday.
Trailing 2-3 at one stage, a resilient Advani came back well to claim his third consecutive national title.
Advani defeated Sethi 42-150, 154-27, 0-152, 152-0, 11-150, 91-150, 150-15, 150-63, 151-12 in the best of 9 games final in a two-hour-long encounter.
Early this month Advani had won his maiden world professional billiards championship title in Leeds, UK.
"It was a very close match with fortunes swinging both sides. Geet is always a tough opponent and he played really well. I am happy to be crowned as national champion," Advani said after the match.
"I have already won the world professional billiards title and now the national title. It's a double delight for me," he added.
