In a closely fought battle of Women 6Red, Indian player Suniti Damani shocked and defeated former European Champion, Tatjana Vasiljeva 3-2. This remained a high quality match where both the players tightened the strings from the very first frame itself.
The first frame Suniti won on black ball and Tatjana countered the same in next to come at par. Third frame was also close and went in favour of Suniti, but in next frame Tatjana returned with more force and crafted a break of 33 points to win that and level once again.
The decider was exciting where Suniti was trailing by 20 points and played some magnificent shots to come ahead but when she required only pink, she missed the long shot.
In need of pink and black, Tatjana played excellent shot to pot the pink but missed the crucial black and Suniti did the justice with that and caused major upset of the tournament.
