World Professional Billiards Championship Leeds

It was his maiden appearance in World Professional Championship finals but Indian billiards player Dhruv Sitwala reckons defeating legendary cueist and compatriot Geet Sethi in the semifinals as more satisfying than reaching the summit clash.

Indian billiards player Dhruv Sitwala's hopes of winning his maiden World Professional title came crashing down on Monday after he lost his summit clash to nine-time champion Mike Russell of Qatar at the Northern Snooker Centre.
