Advani who gave up the tour card in 2015 is constantly performing well and had
won 3 world amateur titles and one regional gold after that.
On today’s victory Advani said
“I think I have it in me still to
do a little bit of damage. I don’t know how far I’ll go but it’s always nice
to beat one of the favourites for the tournament and probably the best Asian
player to have ever played the game.”
Meanwhile Asian junior bronze medallist Ishpreet had mixed
results on opening day. he lost his first match against Mark Davis 0-5 but won
the last session match 5-3 against Mohamed Shehab of UAE.
