Chennai, Dec 12 (PTI) Defending champion Amee Kamani kept herself in the hunt for a treble by making the quarterfinals of the 15 Red women’s snooker at 90th Senior Nationals for cue sports here on Tuesday.
Two days after regaining the women’s 6-Red snooker crown, Amee beat Snenthra Babu of Tamil Nadu 2-0 (65-12, 55-44) in the pre-quarterfinals.
She thus set her eyes on repeating the treble — 6-Red snooker, 15-Red snooker and billiards in the same year – a feat she achieved in 2017.
Meanwhile, the experienced R Umadevi led a Karnataka trio that included Vidya Pillai and last year’s runner-up Keerthana Pandian into the quarters, while Tamil Nadu’s Anupama Ramachandran and RT Mohita also advanced to the last-8 stage.
In the men’s snooker round-robin league, Abdul Khader (TN) edged out Shoaib Khan (RSPB) and Anuj Uppal (Delhi) beat Shahbhaz Adil Khan (PSPB) by an identical margin.
