The only foreign invitee, Kelly Fisher from England who landed today put herself straightaway in the match conditions and played and won all three round robin matches in a row to top the Group A.

First match she played against Hitanshu Manchanda of Delhi, whom she easily defeated 9-3.

After that she spent some tough time against the former national junior Snooker champion, Avinash Kumar, who at one stage was leading 6-3 and looking forward to cause upset but Fisher clutched him on time and won back to back 3 racks to come at par. From there onwards, both of them tightened the rope and reached the decider where Kelly held her nerve better and made it 9-8.

She continued the zeal in next frame too to defeat Local boy Rishabh Thakkar winning 9 racks to 1 and gained 2nd seed position for the knockouts.

In pre-quarters she once again shown her supremacy by defeating Daksh Reddy of Karnataka 9-6 to confirm her fourth win of the day and advance to Quarter finals.

Meanwhile, the reigning national champion, Himanshu Jain crashes out from the competition after losing to Delhi player, Monu Chaudhary 5 racks to 9. Monu played much controlled game and maintained his lead throughout the match leading to causing this upset.
