Snooker Open: Teenagers Sumer, Shahyan Record Stunning Victories
Later, seasoned campaigner and former two-time Asian snooker champion Yasin Merchant dished out a vintage performance to put it across his trainee Vinay Swaminathan in an absorbing match that went to the wire. The snooker maestro showed glimpses of his past and potted steadily against Swaminathan who played brilliantly and managed to snatch a 66-54, 32-62, 55-75(51), 72-22, 86-9, 83(51)-1, 5-83(73), 0-89, 82(81)-9 victory.
The 19-year-old Sumer showed great character and nerves of steel to narrowly win the crucial deciding ninth frame to shut out his practice partner Pherwani by notching up a well-deserved 5-4 win in the best-of-9 frame encounter. After Sumer raced to a 4-1 lead Pherwani fought back to level the scores at 4-all. But, Sumer played confidently to win the final frame and clinch a 59-25, 57-25, 91-32, 17-87, 67-13, 28-78, 48-65, 17-73, and 63-55 win to advance to the second round. Sumer had one break of 51 in the third frame while Pherwani made two breaks of 61 and 56 in the fourth and sixth frames, but his efforts went in vain.
