Bangkok: Pankaj Advani became the first cueist from India to win a medal at the prestigious Sangsom 6 Red Snooker World Championship as he settled for a bronze after losing the semifinal to Chinese Ding Junhui.
In the quarterfinals yesterday, the Indian received a walkover from Michael Holt who withdrew due to personal reasons.
"Winning the first medal for India in this championship and with this level of competition means you have done well. I am an outsider in this tournament and coming this far feels very rewarding," Advani said of his performance.
"Ding is a phenomenal player. I got the better of him in the group stage but today he was the better player. I wish him best of luck for the finals."
